A adequação dos espaços de ensino-aprendizagem que incentivem a formação de profissionais com habilidades em criatividade e inovação e o desenvolvimento de trabalho colaborativo é cada vez mais constatada em conceituadas instituições de ensino e corporações nos país e no exterior. São ambientes concebidos ou adaptados para auxiliar a realização de atividades em equipes utilizando diferentes estratégias de ensinoaprendizagem com participação ativa e colaborativa dos alunos; ambientes equipados com recursos tecnológicos e mobiliários especiais, utilizados segundo dinâmicas que valorizem sua eficácia e vida útil. No entanto, há pouco conhecimento desenvolvido e informação consolidada sobre como conceber, projetar e operar estes espaços, de modo a potencializar a aprendizagem. O objetivo principal dessa pesquisa é o desenvolvimento de uma ferramenta para levantamento de exigências e requisitos para definição de diretrizes norteadoras para intervenções, sejam elas projetos de novos espaços ou adaptações em ambientes construídos já existentes, e para operação dos mesmos. Essa ferramenta não prescreve soluções, mas auxilia as partes interessadas nos diferentes processos envolvidos, ao tratar de assuntos como categorização de tipologia de espaços, aspectos físicos, mobiliário, equipamentos, entre vários fatores associados a concepção e funcionamento (operação e uso). Seu foco são as instituições de ensino e cursos de engenharia. A pesquisa utiliza como métodos de pesquisa revisão bibliográfica, estudos de espaços, acompanhamento de disciplinas, entrevistas e visitas técnicas, e sondagem nãoprobabilística (survey) com docentes, funcionários e alunos dos cursos de Engenharia Civil e Ambiental da Escola Politécnica da Universidade de São Paulo. Como referenciais para o desenvolvimento dessas ferramentas são apresentados espaços desse tipo em instituições norte-americanas e iniciativas em instituições brasileiras, voltadas principalmente para o ensino de engenharia, e também alguns casos de ambientes corporativos e makerspaces. Como resultados obtidos, além da ferramenta, a pesquisa levanta informações sobre as características e a utilização de ambientes adequados às novas estratégias de ensino aprendizagem e testa a ferramenta elaborada em espaços das edificações que abrigam cursos de engenharia da Universidade de São Paulo. / The adequacy of teaching and learning spaces that encourage the development of professionals with skills in creativity and innovation and the development of collaborative work is increasingly found in reputable educational institutions and corporations in the country and abroad. They are environments designed or adapted to assist in the realization of activities in teams using different teaching-learning strategies with active and collaborative participation of students; environments equipped with technology and special furniture, used in accordance with dynamics that enhance the effectiveness and usefulness. However, there is little consolidated knowledge on how to conceive, design and operate these spaces in order to enhance learning. The main objective of this research is to develop a tool to determine the requirements and needs for setting guidelines for interventions, whether they are projects of new spaces or adaptations in existing built environments, and the operation thereof. This tool does not prescribe solutions, but helps stakeholders involved in the different processes to address issues such as categorization of spaces typology, physical, furniture, and equipment among several other factors associated with design and operation. The tool is directed at educational institutions and engineering courses. The research methods includes literature review, research in the use of space, course observation, interviews and technical visits, and a non-probabilistic survey, with faculty, staff and students of civil and environmental engineering courses at the Polytechnic School of the University of Sao Paulo. As a reference for the development of these tools similar spaces are presented from American institutions and initiatives in Brazilian institutions, primarily focused on engineering education, and also some cases of corporate environments and makerspaces. In addition to the tool, the research results in information on the characteristics and the use of appropriate environments to new teaching and learning strategies and tests the tool within spaces in the buildings that house engineering courses at the University of São Paulo.

The purpose of this study was to ascertain student and teacher perceptions of the environment in which student learning takes place and their perceptions of how it has helped them in the cognitive and social domains. Data collected were through student and teacher perception surveys, student and teacher perception questionnaires, classroom observations, student focus group discussions, and teacher interviews. Themes that emerged from the data sources were student interactions, students' autonomy in personalizing their learning space, teacher perceptions of comfort in the classroom, and student perceptions of comfort in the classroom. The findings of this study point to four recommendations for educational leaders to ensure the effective implementation of new and dynamic learning spaces: (1) consult and support teacher and students, (2) provide professional development, (3) visit campuses and other learning spaces, and (4) add color. In order for real change to take place, teachers need to enquire about and embrace student preferences and allow for the discomfort that will be present when trying something new. Teachers must be willing to relinquish control of the learning experience for the student in order to allow for possibilities in personalized learning on the part of the student. They must risk initial failure in order to allow for greater successes in the long run.

This thesis seeks to address emerging future questions by envisioning the future of educational architecture, considering the evolving dynamics between people, machines, and collaborative learning environments. While machines will play a significant role, human interaction, collaboration, and experimentation will remain indispensable for the exchange of ideas. As we look ahead, it is evident that students will require learning spaces that balance passive educational modes—such as lectures, seminars, research, and introspection—with hands-on exploration. These spaces will transcend traditional structures, embracing liminal zones that facilitate seamless transitions into professional or higher education spheres. In the dynamic landscape of 21st-century education, the convergence of technology, globalization, and evolving pedagogical paradigms presents both challenges and opportunities for educational institutions. This thesis endeavors to explore the transformative potential of high school architecture, centered around the concept of the liminal zone—a space that transcends conventional schooling. Our aim is to reconceptualize schools as vibrant hubs of innovation and intellectual exploration, equipping students with the skills, knowledge, and adaptability essential for success in a complex and interconnected world. At the core of our design philosophy lies a commitment to flexibility and adaptability, evident in features such as the Pod concept and informal collaboration spaces, ensuring that educational environments remain responsive to the evolving needs of learners and the demands of the future. / Master of Architecture / This research aims to shape the future of educational architecture by envisioning how learning spaces can evolve in response to changing dynamics between people, technology, and collaborative environments. While technology will play a significant role in education, human interaction, collaboration, and hands-on experimentation will remain crucial for the exchange of ideas and knowledge. As we move forward, it is clear that students will need learning environments that balance traditional educational methods—like lectures, seminars, and research—with practical, hands-on exploration. These new spaces will go beyond conventional classrooms, creating zones that seamlessly transition students into professional or higher education settings. The rapidly changing landscape of 21st-century education, influenced by technology, globalization, and new teaching methods, offers both challenges and opportunities for schools. This thesis explores how high school architecture can be transformed to meet these needs. It introduces the concept of the "liminal zone," a space that bridges traditional schooling and the future, encouraging innovation and intellectual exploration. Our goal is to redesign schools as vibrant centers of learning, where students can develop the skills and adaptability needed for success in a complex, interconnected world. Key to our design are flexible and adaptable features, such as the "Pod" concept and informal collaboration areas, ensuring that educational spaces can evolve with the changing needs of students and the demands of the future.

Der Ausbruch der COVID-19-Pandemie und die dadurch erforderlichen Maßnahmen zur räumlichen Distanzierung haben den Umfang des Einsatzes von digital gestützten Lehr- und Lernformen in der beruflichen Weiterbildung schlagartig erhöht (z.B. Seyda, 2021). Um die Präsenzanteile von Weiterbildungsangeboten weitmöglich zu minimieren, werden synchrone (wie z.B. Online-Seminare per Videokonferenz) oder asynchrone Formate (wie etwa Web-Based Trainings zur individuellen Bearbeitung) genutzt. Erstere betten den Lernprozess zwar stärker sozial ein und begegnen damit einem häufig benannten Kritikpunkt an digital gestützten Lernformaten (z.B. Belaya, 2018; Walber, 2015). Sie stellen jedoch auch vergleichsweise hohe Anforderungen an die digitale Infrastruktur (wie etwa die Internet-Bandbreite) der Bildungsinstitutionen und Lernenden. Virtuelle 360-GradLernräume verkörpern eine vielversprechende Möglichkeit, um beiden Anforderungen gleichermaßen zu begegnen. In diesem Beitrag wird die didaktische Konzeption und technische Umsetzung eines solchen Lernraums im Rahmen eines Anwendungsfalls beschrieben. Vorab erfolgt eine Definition und Differenzierung von virtuellen Lernräumen. Im Anschluss wird ein Ausblick auf die Erprobung des entwickelten Lernraums gegeben. ...

University libraries struggle to keep up with rapidly changing technology and the associated change in teaching strategy. Most administrators and librarians are often not trained to assess space needs and struggle to reassign library spaces for non-traditional library use. As such, they often embark on expensive and time-consuming feasibility studies, using (typically) hard-earned monies to complete the research or to pilot a new space. What academic research library administrators and staff lack is an analysis tool for discovering and planning needed renovations and improvements in aging library facilities. The purpose of this research project was to determine how students use library spaces for learning in this new high-tech, hands-on education experience (i.e. synthesis of previous research); develop a tool that can be used by library staff to self-analyze existing academic library spaces, identifying areas that could be improved for student benefit (e.g. provide a checklist of potential learning spaces that institutions should carefully consider adding to their facilities); and provide some examples/case studies of potential facility improvements. The end result is a hierarchical self-analysis tool that merges space options, Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, and an example of library-user personas. It also provides some general cost guidelines, helpful construction tips, and a synthesis of exploratory questions related to strategy and space. The tool uses evidence-based design to facilitate important conversations, provide an organized checklist of various considerations, and be a quick reference for library administrators and facility managers as they navigate the world of twenty-first century pedagogy and student learning.

A positive learning environment is more important if students are considered to perform better in their schoolwork. The school environment the students attend mostly influences their performance. The school that each student attends sets its own pillars that promote students’ positive learning. This research study looks thoroughly at the schools climate, and socio-economic background of students. Most public schools have insufficient funds to run their day-to-day activities. One of the disturbing factor to promote learning environment is the class sizes are too big. The more funds a school receives, the better it performs because the school invests more in its resources. The teachers’ experience also contributes to students’ performance. Usually, the students who attend a school where more teachers have pastoral care tend to perform better. The research intended to investigate the causes and consequences of a school’s setting in promoting a positive learning environment and further discussed the benefit of positive learning environment in schools. The students’ success in their learning progress is determined by a positive learning and teaching environment. Generally, if there is a caring environment in the school set up, then that leads to the students obtaining good envisaged outcomes. The schools help the students achieve the good results, or alternatively, they could make the students fail. The students perform better in a positive learning environment that also is tantamount to personal student/teacher relationships. The findings of this study encourage the researcher to come up with new strategies that can be used to uplift the performance of students. / Curriculum and Instructional Studies / M. Ed.
