Space Educational Portal

Learning space research is a relatively young field of study that aims to inform learning environment design, evaluation, and management. This research examines a fragmented and dispersed body of knowledge about the linkages between university learning spaces and student learning activities. The report draws on this review to identify a number of key concerns and gaps in the literature. One of its main objectives is to pave the way for the creation of learning environment models that can be utilized by instructors, architects, interior designers, IT managers, educational leaders, and students who are participating in the design and evaluation of new learning spaces. Another purpose is to assist those involved in learning space research in locating and understanding each other’s contributions. This portal investigates how recent research has revealed the impacts of virtual environment on learning, with the goal of presenting both a comprehensive picture of the current state of study and fascinating options for future work. It outlines five important themes that make up research in virtual space and learning, based on a multidisciplinary review: similarities between the study of physical space and learning; socio-cultural constructivist viewpoints; practical and theoretical pedagogy; architecture; and aesthetics. The current state of knowledge about how virtual space influences learning is patchy, to say the least. The key issue for the future is to build a research infrastructure that can take use of the diversity of present studies while also driving, focusing, and connecting future research endeavors.
