Active Learning Environments Foster a Generation That Dares to Innovate and Execute
Leading schools worldwide have transitioned from a passive learning model to an active learning model (Active Learning). This represents more than just a new teaching approach; it is a complete change in mindset where students participate in the learning process instead of merely receiving one-way instruction. While traditional classrooms focus on listening and note-taking, Active Learning stresses experience and interaction.
The learner is placed at the center, actively exploring, asking questions, connecting ideas, and solving problems. Studies from Harvard University indicate that students in an Active Learning environment increase memory retention by up to 50% and interaction levels by over 70% compared to the traditional model. When learners are able to move, communicate, debate, and practice, learning becomes more natural and effective.
The Challenge in Vietnam: Active Learning Constrained by Old Spaces
However, a reality currently unfolding in many schools in Vietnam is that the Active Learning model is implemented but still carries the mindset of the old classroom. Fixed desks and chairs are arranged in columns, the teacher is at the center controlling, and students are limited to sitting in one place. The method has changed, but the space has not. A passive classroom will create passive students. We cannot expect students to be active when their bodies and learning environment are still constrained. That is why Active Learning fails if the learning space does not change first.
A traditional classroom with fixed desks and chairs, students sitting in straight rows, creates a feeling of restraint and passivity.
Active Learning Space Design: The Foundational Factor for Success
The active learning space is designed to support maximum flexibility. Desks and chairs can be quickly moved, rotated 360°, and easily adjusted in height to suit various activities: individual study, group discussion, presentation, or project work. Furthermore, the ergonomic design of the furniture helps students change their sitting or standing posture during the learning process, thereby increasing alertness and concentration. A study from Cornell University proved that changing posture while learning increases the level of concentration by 15 to 20%. Thus, furniture is not a secondary factor; it is the fundamental infrastructure that determines the effectiveness of the active learning method.
RPB Education & Public: A Comprehensive Solution for Flexible Spaces
Here, the role of RPB Education & Public is clearly demonstrated. With over 15 years of experience in the field of educational and public furniture, RPB Education & Public not only manufactures desks and chairs but also provides comprehensive solutions for active learning spaces. RPB Education & Public product lines are developed based on the philosophy: 'Flexible space creates flexible thinking.' Height-adjustable desks allow students to easily switch between sitting and standing; Active Learning chairs integrate wheels and multi-directional swivel, enabling students to move and interact without moving the entire class; and folding table models can be retracted to create open space for group activities, workshops, or presentations. Each product is designed according to ergonomic standards to protect sitting posture, limit spinal curvature, and optimize student concentration during class.
Furniture as a 'Learning Tool': Transforming Space, Changing the Way of Learning
Beyond products, RPB Education & Public also consults on learning space design solutions from concept, layout arrangement, interior color coordination, to technical drawings and 3D simulations. A classroom can easily switch from individual to group activities in seconds without the need for dismantling or heavy moving. In the Active Learning model, furniture is not just an item of decor but a 'learning tool.' When students have the right to choose how to sit, where to sit, and their discussion groups, their soft skills such as communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity are naturally developed.
To date, RPB Education & Public has partnered with many international schools, universities, and training centers nationwide in designing active learning spaces. These projects all prove one thing: by simply changing the space, we can change the way we learn. Teachers reduce the burden of 'delivering,' and students increase time for 'practicing and discovering.' Instead of sitting still, students move to learn. Instead of passive reception, students engage actively. It is the new space that creates the environment, helping them become more confident, dare to ask questions, and dare to put forward their own ideas.

Future Vision: Nurturing Proactiveness in the Educational Space
Active Learning is not a temporary trend, but the future of education. As the world demands innovative thinking, learners need to be equipped with adaptability, problem-solving, and collaboration—skills that theoretical lectures cannot provide. Proactiveness cannot be taught verbally; it must be nurtured in a space that allows students the freedom to think and interact.

RPB Cinema Seating Collection, where every moment in the theater becomes unforgettable
In a movie theater, every sense is guided by light, sound, and the cinematic space. Yet the first thing that truly shapes the viewer’s emotions is not the size of the screen or the sound effects, but the seat they sit in for two straight hours. A comfortable chair allows the audience to be fully immersed in the story. In contrast, a chair that is hard, uneven, or lacks proper support distracts them, forces them to constantly change position, and breaks their concentration.
Ergonomic design that elevates every cinematic emotion
The cinematic experience is not only about a wide screen, surround sound, or sophisticated lighting – it begins with the very seat the audience sits in. Over the course of two hours, viewers are not only following the story on screen, but also listening to their own bodies: feeling relaxed, cushioned, and at ease, or constrained and fatigued.
A properly designed ergonomic cinema chair can completely transform that experience. It is not just a place to sit, but a space that supports every shade of emotion. When the body is relaxed, the mind opens up, emotions flow naturally, and every frame becomes more complete.
When your cinematic experience begins with the perfect seat
When the lights in the cinema slowly dim, the screen brightens and sound fills the room, that is the moment when all the senses awaken. Yet few people realize that the true cinematic experience does not begin with images or sound, but with the very seat they are sitting in. A perfect cinema chair not only helps the audience relax for two straight hours, but also cradles their emotions, allowing them to be fully immersed in the world of film.
