Learning Spaces Matter: Students', Teachers', & Principals' Perceptions of Student Engagement in New Learning Spaces
Educators have both debated and embraced the idea of design thinking. Whether the designer is engaged in the architecture or learning design process, the needs of the student are foremost. However, the empirical impact of designs in K-12 education is relatively unknown. In order to explore the impact new learning spaces has on student engagement, a mixed methods study was conducted at replacement schools in Texas. The results of the study are revealed based on students’, teachers’, and principals’ perceptions.
