Teachers and students voice in a participatory school design

Abstract

One of the greatest goals in creating physical learning environment is the involvement of students and teachers in the design process. The physical education environment depends on the teacher's teaching activity and its organization. But it is often difficult not only for teachers but also for students to express their ideas in creating new educational spaces. As a result, architects often rely on their own knowledge and experience in designing schools, and the unique knowledge about the pedagogical activities in schools throughout the design process is lost. Participatory design is a design process that involves all stakeholders. This process is particularly favorable in the development of physical teachin / learning spaces aimed at student-centered education. However, these practices are often denied due to lack of time and information. The report aims to highlight the ways in which teachers and students can be involved in the creation of physical learning spaces, analyze teaching / learning activities that should be used to create modern educational spaces.
