The aim of this research was to explore the use of space and place in natural classroom and the
school environment in a Turkish context. Drawing upon the theoretical framework of Foucault’s
modern power control strategies, a major factor influencing teachers’ classroom practices both in the
State and the Private Primary Schools emerged. A highly centralised Turkish educational system has
a major influence on teachers’ classroom practices. Teachers’ classroom behaviour may be explained
through the spatiality of the schools. Spatiality can also be considered to be a mode of modern power
control. Therefore the structure of space in both the State and the Private Primary Schools is a form
of surveillance apparatus. In particular, Ataturk portraits and Turkish flags were prominently
displayed in every corner of the Primary Schools, which seemed to act as a reminder of the state
control and ‘Turkishness’. Systematic surveillance techniques were employed at the schools.
