Challenging traditional assumptions and rethinking learning spaces

Overview
We have to challenge and rethink because - 1. Evidence shows strong link between human activity and space design
2. Cognitve theory - we know more about what makes learning better. 3. Students are changing Useful bits
Monahan, t quoted term 'built pedagogy' meaning building in a particular pedagogy into the space design.
Monahan, t [2002] 'flexible space and built pedagogy'; inventio, vol. 4 no. 1 Strange and banning quote = physical environment is always flexible, but by controlling aspacts we make some things more 'probable'. Commenting on this I would say there is a balance between the strength of the dEsign and the strength of the desire to use it in a particular way.
Chism and bickford's list of assumption made by the design of current classrooms including 'learning only happens in classrooms, at particular times, is individual. HE students are juvenile, they will break stuff, and are 'all small, young and nimbleand without disabilities.

Environmental psychology quoted includes graetz and goliber which covers; lighting affects arousal, temperature with hostility, and numbers of students per room with poor student leaning. Also see scott-webber
Graetz k, goliber m [2002] 'designing collaborative learning places' in the importance of creating supportive learning environments van note chism and bickford eds pp-13-22
Scott-webber [2004] 'in sync; environment behavior research'

This chapter comes from a strong social constructist approach. one of the main reasons to redesign is to boost a movement and acceptance of this pedagogy. Although, this is to be applauded, and any learning technology can never be without a pedagogy, it may cause problems with trying to get adoption. The use of the term 'intentionally' is to define these built pedagogy spaces. This is very useful in terms of helping to identify these types of spaces. But are all spaces not intentionally created? Or are we sleep walking through the process of campus design. This point is picked up later when discussing how unis go about designing new buildings. The use of immediate when discussing flexibility. Students have always had variety, only in different rooms. Flexibility offers this in the same room. But my own research contradicts, staff are reluctant to change room layout because of the time factor, or they are unconfident in the result of the move. Importance of colour
A generalisation for the reason students are interested in this aspect is put down to them watching make-over tv programmes Decenteredness - the designing-out of the front being the 'priviledged' space
