It all depends on the age group. I feel children third grade and under should be seated at a table with three other students at the same table. While 4th grade and up should be seated at individualized desks.
Personally, I feel the best seating arrangement is truly whatever works to facilitate student engagement. This may mean various seating options, tables, and/or desks. Just like each learner, each class will be different. So, finding what works for the year makes the best sense.
