This change in use reflects a paradigmatic shift from understanding the library as information repository to understanding the library as…

Kearns, Larry – Education Next, 2017
Blended Learning uses school time in a unique way, combining online instruction with traditional methods and giving students more agency over how, when, and where they learn. That third variable, the "where," calls for some serious rethinking of how school space is organized and deployed. Design either supports or frustrates a school's…

Bellfield, Thomas; Burke, Catherine; Cullinan, Dominic; Dyer, Emma; Szynalska, Karolina – Educational Governance Research, 2018
The relationship between school buildings and their pedagogies is complex.

Here we examine one design process, which led to the construction of a secondary school in…

van Merriënboer, Jeroen J. G.; McKenney, Susan; Cullinan, Dominic; Heuer, Jos – European Journal of Education, 2017
The quality of education suffers when pedagogies are not aligned with physical learning spaces. For example, the architecture of the triple-decker Victorian schools across England fits the information transmission model that was dominant in the industrial age, but makes it more difficult to implement student-centred pedagogies that better fit a…
