本文探讨了学生咨询和参与在改善学校物质环境过程中的作用。虽然定量研究表明,学习环境和学校表现之间有一些联系,这些因素之间的直接因果关系仍然不清楚。然而,正如克拉克所指出的:“……有关校舍对学生学习及行为的间接影响的质性研究,有助加深我们对有关因素的了解“(Clark,2002,第11页)。从定性研究的学生对学校环境的看法的证据,以说明重要的见解,可以通过倾听学生的声音。通过讨论最近的项目和倡议,学生在设计和改善学校建筑和设施方面发挥积极作用,进一步加强了学生发言权的论点。本文最后讨论的问题和好处,让学生在改善他们的学习环境的过程中。
This paper examines the role of student consultation and participation in the process of improving the physical environment in schools. Although quantitative studies suggest that there are some links between the learning environment and school performance, direct causal relationships between these factors remain unclear. However, as Clark points out: '...qualitative research on the indirect influences of school buildings on student learning and behaviour is of use in enhancing our understanding of the factors involved' (Clark, 2002, p. 11). Evidence from qualitative studies of students' perspectives on the school environment is presented to illustrate the important insights that can be gained through listening to the student voice. The argument for student voice is taken further through a discussion of recent projects and initiatives in which students are given an active role in designing and improving school buildings and facilities. The paper concludes with a discussion of the problems and benefits in involving students in the process of improving their learning environments.
