7.4 Construction group 9 years, 5 months agoThese spaces should be able to support the learners individually, in small groups, as a whole class and in larger groups. more insight found here, sample in Newzealand http://www.education.govt.nz/school/property/state-schools/design-standards/flexible-learning-spaces/

Mr Ayo, the pge cant be found

Yes! this is too ambitious for African settings like in Uganda, we just have to be patient, but this the ideal constructive learning spaces to meet the ever changing need of technology development.

True, Joan you have good research on learning spaces. It is true to echo some of the insights about learning spaces the learning spaces have to be altered to accomodate the technology. including sitting arrangment.
-
I also think that altering learning spaces can accomodate a large number students because while others come for experiments at school, others stay home on virtual space class may be on collaborative exercise
-
-
This gives a shift in paradigm from the traditional ‘teaching’ to more constructive ‘learning’ for instance, from simply recalling to discovery. Agree with you Joan

7.4 Construction group 9 years, 5 months agoWhereas construction of suitable classroom space provides for benefits such as flexibility and collaboration, it may also have few challenges.
-There will a problem of adoption and interfearing with specific models and the problem of change fatigue.

Well Stephen…….. Do you find any advantages in creating a learning space that is flexible and at the same time allows flexibility? Leave for the anticipated challenges……
-
Meant space enough to accommodate multiple activities.
-
-
Yes Mr. Otikori, given adequate commitment to integrating ICT, dont you think that forexample audio chats arouse interest in learning, and build up cognitive skills, emotionally goodlearners?
-
Right,
My stand point here is the aspect of attitudinal change in our traditional teachers being a challenge.
-
-
Well, such anticipated challenges should fiercely be remedified to open acess to new ways of getting things done in the class room, the modern way.

7.4 Construction group 9 years, 5 months agoConstruction is still largely dictated by “teacher in classroom” scenario. With devices like tablets, all that may be necessary is a rooftop to guard against rain!
-
Emma,
This ok with me as well. Yes teacher based on whatever approaches teacher intended. My feel is that we insist on a kind architecture that will prevent not only the rain but dust, wind noise etc.-
I would consider that for the existing hardware but would advocate for virtue learning spaces the way to go. more so this wiuld involve parents more in learning. Simply because some parents dont want their childrento access Internetbecause of fear to adopt bad cultures. But if Principal informs all parents about the Virtual school learning…[Read more]

Yes! what ever happens inside there, an environment that is free from noise, wind, rain is highly recommended.

7.4 Construction group 9 years, 5 months agoMobile and personal technology is transforming the way learning spaces are used and configured. Traditionally learning spaces were aligned with student desks and chairs (or benches) in rows facing the front of the classroom, often secured to the floor. Obviously this arrangement supported passive learning and methods of direct instruction but…[Read more]

Charles in addition to the collaboration and the possibility of the environment being flexible ,i have also taken note of the idea of he
variation of furniture you are arguing for. This in a similar way also
allows for the flexibility suitability to the different forms of spaces we are advocating for. -
I agree with the need to redisign and change the setting of the learning spaces as technology more technologies come in place to support the teaching – learning process.
The flexibility allows room for adapting and adopting new pedagogies within the same working space for example the use of group work, cooperative learning, research work and i…[Read more]

I agree with you Stephen. With the emergence of technology in teaching/learning, the learning spaces have to be constructed in such a way to take care of the technology. The use of technology requires collaboration, active engagement with the technology, movement with the classroom space, etc, all of which will require a carefully constructed…[Read more]

Yes, sure in addition to the research programmatic requirements of the space, such as:
Group work or individual study?
Noisy or quiet?
Can the space be reserved?
Will staff require frequent access and/or views into the space?
Is the technology fixed or mobile?
How long will the average user be in the space?
Room size and shape.
Desirability of…[Read more]
