Impact of Flexible Classroom Spaces on Faculty Pedagogy and Student Behavior

灵活的教室空间对教师教学和学生行为的影响

基本信息

项目摘要

Most university classrooms feature either a traditional lecture-style layout with tables and chairs arranged in front-facing rows or round tables permanently arranged in groups. Some universities, though, are building classrooms of the future that have highly flexible furniture and integrated technology. These innovative classrooms can be reconfigured for multiple uses, such as lecture-style teaching, having students work together in groups, and engaging in a whole-class discussion. People assume that these flexible classrooms automatically result in better teaching and learning, but there has been little research into their effect on faculty pedagogy and student behavior. During this project, five undergraduate engineering instructors at the University of Michigan will be supported as they transition from teaching in a traditional classroom to a new flexible classroom. These instructors will be supported to learn about teaching practices that leverage the classroom flexibility and allow them to be more responsive to students. The impact of classroom flexibility on both faculty pedagogy and student behavior will be a key research focus of this project. Such research will generate evidence to inform the design of flexible classrooms, to support instructors using new pedagogies in these flexible classrooms, and ultimately to improve student learning and behavior.More specifically, this project will rigorously examine faculty pedagogy (including use of both active learning and responsive teaching, in which instructors elicit and respond to students' thinking) and student behavior in five undergraduate engineering courses. These courses will all be taught in a traditional lecture hall during the first year of the project and in a flexible classroom during the second year. Before and throughout the second year of the project, professional development will take place to support faculty in using the flexible classrooms. The research team will investigate changes in faculty pedagogy through a new classroom observation protocol that captures instances of active learning and responsive teaching, through instructor interviews that investigate how an instructor enacts responsive teaching, and through a survey for students to report their perceptions of responsive teaching. The research team will also examine students' interpretation (framing) of group learning activities by analyzing students' discourse during such activities in both the traditional and flexible classrooms. This project will further the nascent field of responsive teaching in engineering by providing future researchers with a standardized responsive teaching observation protocol. It will also provide engineering faculty, professional developers, and classroom designers with evidence-based ways to enact responsive teaching, implement group learning activities, and effectively design and use flexible classrooms.
大多数大学教室的特点要么是传统的讲堂式布局,桌椅排成一排,要么是圆桌永久地成组排列。不过,一些大学正在建造未来的教室,配备高度灵活的家具和集成技术。这些创新的教室可以重新配置为多种用途,例如讲授式教学,让学生在小组中一起工作,以及参与全班讨论。人们认为,这些灵活的课堂会自动带来更好的教与学,但关于它们对教师教学和学生行为的影响的研究很少。在这个项目中,密歇根大学的五名本科生工程讲师将得到支持,因为他们将从传统课堂教学过渡到新的灵活课堂。这些教师将得到支持,学习利用课堂灵活性的教学实践,并允许他们对学生做出更积极的反应。课堂灵活性对教师教学和学生行为的影响将是本项目的重点研究重点。这些研究将为弹性教室的设计提供依据,支持教师在这些灵活的教室中使用新的教学方法,并最终改善学生的学习和行为。更具体地说,这个项目将严格审查五门本科工程课程的教师教学方法(包括使用主动学习和响应式教学,教师启发和回应学生的思维)和学生行为。这些课程在项目的第一年都将在传统的报告厅教授,第二年将在灵活的教室中教授。在该计划的第二年之前和整个过程中,将进行专业发展,以支持教师使用灵活的教室。研究小组将通过一种新的课堂观察方案来调查教师教学方法的变化,该方案捕捉主动学习和响应式教学的实例,通过调查教师如何实施响应式教学的教师访谈,以及通过对学生报告他们对响应式教学的看法的调查。研究小组还将通过分析学生在传统课堂和灵活课堂上的小组学习活动中的话语,来检查学生对小组学习活动的解释(框架)。该项目将通过为未来的研究人员提供标准化的响应性教学观察方案,进一步推动工程学中响应性教学的新领域。它还将为工程学教师、专业开发人员和教室设计者提供基于证据的方法,以制定响应式教学、实施小组学习活动,并有效地设计和使用灵活的教室。
