Course Content (Syllabus)
The school space is approached as a dynamic learning environment, in which educational forms of work and communication are developed. The connection of the "child - space" relationship with the factors of the learning process and with the grid of educational relationships that develop in the school is investigated. The modern tendencies of design and functionning of the learning environment are presented, which correlate the pedagogy with the spatial approach for the design of the school space. Then the method of "pedagogical and architectural redesign of the school space" is developed, a systematic method of holistic interventions in the school space (indoor and outdoor) with the aim of upgrading its learning possibilities. Finally, examples of applications in this direction are presented and commented, both from Greece and from the international arena.

Student Assessment
Description
Description The evaluation of students is structured on two levels: a) by studying the literature and the preparation of short reports and b) by the gradual elaboration of a field work, which records and analyzes the characteristics of the educational environment in the schools visited by the student groups . In this context, a continuous evaluation process is followed, which includes two phases: Phase 1: a) written assignments and reports to improve the skills required for the course and gain experience in intervening in the educational environment b) presentation and commentary of a representative sample from Phase 2: Elaboration of a final paper (concluding) in which students: • compose the findings and conclusions from the written work and reports of Phase 1 • make proposals for space redesign and the learning process in school they visited and whose operation they studied
Student Assessment methods
  • Written Assignment (Formative, Summative)
