The New Learning Environment

Changes in educational thinking and pedagogical goals :

Passive Recipients of Knowledge Active Constructors of knowledge

Question

What possible form might a school building take if the educational values of active participation, integration and collaboration were to be translated into steel, concrete, glass and space?

Page 10: SCHOOL AS A LEARNING TOOL - OECD.org · 50s 60s ,70s 90s. Basic Functional Individual Identity Improved Facilities Enhanced learning environments Unique Designs 60s 70s 80s 90s The

Question

How can learning opportunities be woven into the structure of a school,making it an active participant in the learning process?

How can the school’s architecture become part of the active learning?

3 key ideas

Using architectural elements as teaching props

Seeing the building systems as opportunity to showcasereal-life connectivity – Integration & Sustainability

Transforming landscaping /in-between spaces to becomean Outdoor Classroom and a Living Laboratory

Architectural Elements as Teaching Props

Common sight in schools where Walls are used as a backdrop forPosters/educational displays.

Q. Can the walls and other elements take ona more active role in the learning process?

Walls, Floor and Ceiling…as life-sized props, explaining concepts

Maths : numbers, sequenceMusic : rhythm, compositionLanguage : Emotion

Health : Nutrition

Visual Arts : Abstract, modern

Dance : Costume design

Astronomy : Constellations

Doors, Windows and EntrywayMath : Sets,Size, GeometryVisual Arts : Proportion,DepthCulture/History : Symbolism & Beliefs

…as playful elements, making learning fun

Building systems as lesson on integration

Common sight in schools where small scale isolated solar cells/ PV panels are installed as part of a school experiment/learning tool.

Q: how can we make these installations anintegral part of the school’s architectural design?

Building systems as lesson on integration

The school building potentially is an excellent opportunity to showcase real-life connectivity, the drama of mathematics, physics and ecology linked across space and structure, lighting and services etc.
