One Teacher and a Class of School Students: Their Perception of the Culture of Their Mathematics Classroom and Its Construction.
Angier, Corinne; Povey, Hilary
Educational Review, v51 n2 p147-60 Jun 1999

Spacious teaching and learning is large enough to include social relationships. Students felt that the teacher, group, and class organization mattered to learning. (SK)
