Abstract

In Japan, recently we adopt small class programs instead of usual full students' classes for teaching in consideration of the students' individual abilities.<br>The aim of this paper is to grasp the features of small class programs and learning space use in elementary schools. Proficiency-dependent teaching is the most popular way especially in mathematics classes. Students are divided into three levels such as primary, basic and advanced, according to their understanding. As these programs need more rooms, teachers manage to find out the additional rooms. Teachers make the appropriate classrooms vacant, and use them for small group studies. On the case of no vacant classrooms, they use several kinds of special rooms. Open space is not suitable for these programs because of the noise and the mutual visible access.
