Which category of teachers tends to favour the traditional, formal seating pattern of rows of students directly facing the teacher at the front of the classroom?

Direct instruction teachers, being teacher-centred, prefer the traditional rows facing the front for controlled, whole-class lecturing.

Indirect instruction teachers encourage inquiry and flexible groupings rather than fixed rows.

Student-centred teachers arrange seating for interaction, such as circles or clusters.

None of the above is ruled out, since direct instruction clearly fits the description.

Direct instruction emphasises structured, teacher-led delivery of content.

Indirect instruction, by contrast, relies on discovery and student exploration.
