Evaluating 21st Century Learning Environments Don't Shoot Me, I'm Only The Architect: Exploring The Complex Interactions Between Design, Pedagogy And School Culture Clarke, D. (2016) Architects and school leaders are integral to the process of procuring, designing, constructing and using innovative learning environments (ILE’s). However, the following questions arise: How much do they know of each other’s professions? What can both groups potentially contribute to the development of ILE’s? Is it only luck that results ...
Evaluating 21st Century Learning Environments Architects as Agents for Organisational Change in New Generation Learning Spaces Clarke, D. (2016) Space, technology and pedagogy are often heralded as the key influences in the development of New Generation Learning Spaces (NGLS's) (JISC, 2006; (Radcliffe, Wilson, Powell, & Tibbetts, 2008).The successful utilisation of these spaces and the introduction of new teaching and learning practices to them is not, however, a guaranteed outcome ...
Evaluating 21st Century Learning Environments Emerging methods for the evaluation of physical learning environments Cleveland, B. (2016) The field of post-occupancy evaluation (POE) has provided direction on how evidence can be gathered about the performance of educational facilities for over 40 years (Cooper, 2001). However, such work has generally overlooked the evaluation of learning spaces for pedagogical effectiveness, i.e. the suitability of the physical environment in supporting ...
Other A school but not as we know it! Towards schools for networked communities Cleveland, B. (2016) School facilities are some of the most underutilised public assets in Australia. Yet, opportunities to better utilise and enhance school facilities though offering a range of services to growing communities are increasingly being recognised. Across the country, state governments are endorsing the development of schools as community hubs, based on ...
Evaluating 21st Century Learning Environments Addressing the Spatial to Catalyse Socio-Pedagogic Reform in Middle Years Education Cleveland, B. (2016) For many years in Australia, academics and state government departments have promoted learner-centred and constructivist pedagogies in the middle years of schooling (Years 5–9) (Barratt, 1998; Beare, 2000; Carrington, 2006; DEECD, 2010; DEET, 2002; Hill & Russell, 1999). However, such approaches have still not been widely adopted (Black, 2009; Cartmel, ...
Other Learning environment evaluation and the development of school facility design guidelines Cleveland, B | Soccio, P | Love, P. (2016) Australia has been the site of significant school facility design innovation during the past decade. This innovation was showcased in 2013 in a report released by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) titled Innovative Learning Environments, Educational Research and Innovation. It featured case studies of forty exemplary schools ...
Evaluating 21st Century Learning Environments The Effective Teaching and Learning Spatial Framework: An Evaluation Tool Dane, J. (2016) The Effective Teaching and Learning Spatial Framework was developed within the context of higher education as part of the writer’s PhD research. It was underpinned by an evaluation of four new generation learning environments conducted at four Australian universities. The Framework and resultant evaluation tool is considered to have broader ...
Evaluating 21st Century Learning Environments Voices of Experience: Opportunities to Influence Creatively the Designing of School Libraries Elliott Burns, R. (2016) The voices of experience study considered school libraries as social and cultural entities within the contexts of school life and of wider society, such that school library designing becomes a social interaction of concern to those influenced by its practices and outcomes. School library designing is therefore regarded as significant ...
Other Translating translational research on space design from the health sector to higher education: Lessons learnt and challenges revealed Ellis, R.A. | Fisher, K.. (2016) This chapter discusses the experience of the health sector over the last decade or so, focusing on the way the translational research agenda has expanded from evidence-based (EB) medicine to evidence-based healthcare space design (EBD). The issues and trends considered in the chapter generally apply at the level of a ...
Evaluating 21st Century Learning Environments The translational design of schools: an evidence-based approach to aligning pedagogy and learning environments Fisher, K. (2016) This book summarises the deep level of research carried out since 2008 within the emerging, evidence-based, translational design (EBD) approach to learning environments research. This programme has been carried out by the Learning Environments Applied Research Network of the University of Melbourne, its partners and colleagues. The chapters are based ...
