|
Kylie Andrews Thesis (PDF 3MB) |
Description
This qualitative case study explored Year 6 students’ experience and imaginings of learning spaces as they prepared to transition to high school. Analysis of the students’ annotated visual images and interview responses indicated their strong preferences to learn in outdoor, informal spaces that maintained connections with nature. The Year 6 students also identified the impact of environmental factors such as noise and fresh air, and their spatial preferences for both developing autonomy and learning with peers. The thesis will inform researchers, designers and teachers seeking to understand student perspectives about spatial aspects that engage and support learners.
Impact and interest:
