Course Content (Syllabus)
School space is approached as a dynamic material environment that enhances forms of work and cooperation which are related with developmental and learning procedures. Moreover, the course investigates the connection between the “child-space” relation to the factors that affect the educational process and the grid of educational relations that are developed at school. The course also focuses on developing the method of “pedagogical redesign of space”, a systemic method of holistic interventions in school settings (indoor and outdoor) aiming to its educational improvement. Finally, practical applications towards this direction are presented and commented on.

Student Assessment
Description
Student evaluation is structured around two levels: a) study of bibliography and writing of short reports b) gradual composition of field assignment that records and analyzes the characteristics of the educational settings that are related to the assignment and visited by the students to this end. In this view, courses follow the procedure of continuous assessment which includes two phases: Phase A: a) Written assignments and reports to improve the skills needed for the course as well as to provide experience in regard with intervention matters in the educational setting b) Presentation and commentary on a representative sample taken from these assignments Phase B: Final (summative) assignment in which students: • compile findings and conclusions from written assignments and reports of Phase A • make proposals to redesign space and the educational procedure which is related to the educational setting of the school that they previously visited and studied.
Student Assessment methods
  • Written Assignment (Formative, Summative)
