The objective of this paper is to illustrate how the redesigned classroom has affected student
learning behavior in terms of the learner centered environment, self-directed and independent
learning, improved 21st century skills, and better peer interaction. Data were collected through
questionnaires, observations and focus group discussions from four secondary schools in Selangor,
Malaysia which had redesigned classrooms. The findings show that the classrooms allow students
to enjoy more learner centered activities with easy access to technology and learning is more
individualized. Having access to materials online allowed students to view them as many times as
they wanted to help internalize their understanding. Students are also encouraged to be selfdirected
and practice self-learning by discussing and sharing ideas with one another which helped
build their confidence. Students reported developing better information skills, communication
skills, negotiation skills and other 21st century skills. The redesigned classrooms provide a safe
environment for better peer interaction and participation in learning among students. It is clear that
students are comfortable to engage in better learning and understanding in the redesigned
classroom with improved levels of motivation and interest.
