Abstract

In many countries the basic classroom remains the core building block of how schools are designed and used. Yet, educators now also regularly encounter a range of different spatial learning environments. This entry provides the reasoning behind this spatial flexibility in relation to contemporary teaching models, and identifies pedagogical concepts that are influencing the design and use of modern flexible classroom environments. Spatial and pedagogical affordances for different teaching practices and learning processes are identified, with implications for the role of the educator and for preservice teacher preparation also being identified.
