WHAT SCHOOL STANDS FOR AS A SPACE: PEDI-ARCHITECTURE
Öz
Educational environmet is a composition of human elements such as admintrators, teachers, learners, parents and auxilary staff, and facilities such as buildings, classrooms, workshops and laboratories. All the elements of teaching and learning process are in this composition.
The research aims at presenting the description of the school as an architectural structure and the interraction between the school and its major element –the pupils in terms of subject-object with a pedagogical concern.
Descriptive survey model was applied for this qualitative research. The sample consists of 306 pupils of the 5th grade from three different primary schools regarded as “popular”(n=117), “typical” (n=96) and “disadvantaged”( n=93) by the local community in Adıyaman central district.
“Classroom” as a learning environment was evaluated in aspects of suitability, cleanness, temperature, color and illumination dimensions.
The results show that the school, which are theoretically aimed to be general learning environments, have been designed as geometrical spaces with the aims of housing and teaching pupils.
While the pupils mostly had positive views about the physical variables of “classroom” as learning environments, certain significant differences were observed between their views according to variables such as gender, school type, class size and the duration of the years they attended the same room.Anahtar Kelimeler
