In what ways do the school building and environment affect engagement with learning in three case study schools?

项目描述：我将在三所案例研究学校的低年级教室进行研究，以了解校舍建筑如何影响年轻人参与学习的方式。这将包括采访学校工作人员、建筑师和与孩子们一起工作，以了解空间是如何设计和使用的，以及空间对居民的影响。我将用这些方法回答三个具体的研究问题：孩子们想从他们的学校得到什么；老师想从他们的学校得到什么；建筑师们想从他们的学校得到什么？我将借鉴Blishen(1969)的工作，在该工作中，儿童被问及他们理想的学校，我特别希望获得并重视儿童与所有其他研究参与者平等的观点。我将通过将我的研究放在更广泛的理论背景下，并利用大量关于教育教育学和空间影响的著作，包括Kraftl和Adey的研究(2008年)和Csiks zentmihalyi的流动概念(1982；2002)，来建立对学校设计的更广泛的影响。我将介绍当代人们对学校建筑的兴趣，例如，近年来它们被列入斯特林奖入围名单，并打算影响围绕政策和设计的对话。

Project description: I will undertake research in lower primary classrooms in three case study schools in order to understand the ways in which the architecture of school buildings can affect young people's engagement with learning. This will include interviews with schools staff, architects and work with the children themselves to understand how the spaces are designed and used and the effect the space has on its inhabitants. I will answer three specific research questions using these methods: what do children want from their schools; what do teachers want from their schools; and what do architects want from their schools? I will draw on the work of Blishen (1969) in which children were asked about their ideal school and I particularly want to gain and value the views of children as equal to all other research participants. I will establish wider implications for school design by placing my research within a wider theoretical context and drawing on the vast body of work on educational pedagogies and spatial impact, including Kraftl and Adey's research (2008) and Csikszentmihalyi's concept of flow (1982; 2002). I will feed into the contemporary interest in the architecture of school buildings, shown for example by their inclusion in the Stirling Prize finalist lists in recent years, and intend to impact the dialogue around policy and design.
