Constructing Learning Space

Abstract

Type of classroom influences student learning. The classroom should be set up to correlate

with curriculum and expected learning outcomes. There are at least two theories addressing

learner roles: learning pyramid, and experiential learning. The classroom is the most common form

of learning space with which people are familiar; in contrast, buildings, campuses, and cities are

less familiar as learning spaces. Classroom design should consider both physical and social factors.

In addition, “in-between” learning spaces should not be underestimated for development.
