Emerging Methods for the Evaluation of Physical Learning Environments

  • Chapter
Evaluating Learning Environments

Part of the book series: Advances in Learning Environments Research ((ALER))

Abstract

The field of post-occupancy evaluation (POE) has provided direction on how evidence can be gathered about the performance of educational facilities for over 40 years (Cooper, 2001). However, such work has generally overlooked the evaluation of learning spaces for pedagogical effectiveness, i.e. the suitability of the physical environment in supporting desired teaching and learning practices, activities and behaviours.
