Nowadays, there are several experiments which try to transform children's spaces in the school from standardized, closed setting to more informal and free environment for children. We can find some origins of these experiments in the era of the New Education Movement. We made research on the reformation of school spaces, e.g. school buildings, classrooms, playgrounds, etc. in the U.S.A., England, and Germany in that era. The research has proved that the reformation of spaces in the school provided children with environments and opportunities for creative and co-operative learning.
