Impact on Learning Spaces by K-10 School Education Pedagogy

摘要

Pedagogy is a technique of teaching. Various teaching activities require various types of settings. In school education(K-10) wide range of age group is involved so a wide range of pedagogies is observed as a psychological need of respective age group. The learning background of current decade school students is different than the students of previous decades due to continual change in syllabus and exposure to technology at a very early stage in schools and homes. There is a great diversity in school infrastructure with their own pedagogical culture. Today few government schools with minimum infrastructure are more productive and gaining popularity and some private schools with high infrastructure are not those productive but still popular with flashy activities? So in this view above study was conducted for the overall learning environment of schools from K-10. Schools ranging from private international to rural municipal studied with a defined set of parameters. Various school environment assessment tools were studied and the tool by the Organization of Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) is found relevant to follow. Time space analysis was used to categorize places in maximum use and their timings so as to derive some design briefs. It is found that pedagogies for different age groups vary and had a strong impact on the physical design of spaces. Practical education, use of technology in learning is now becoming main focus from global to rural level of India, so physical forms and the design of learning spaces are changing. The conclusions of this study may be useful for educationists and architects, in reference with innovative pedagogies and design of learning spaces for them. Gender specific study and differently-able children study is not scope of this study.
