The concept, use, and experiences of "space" in higher education have a deep influence on students and teachers.
Reframing Space for Learning uniquely explores space as both a "learning place" that may be physical, virtual, in work or in the field, and a "belonging space" in which learners and teachers can engage and develop individually and collectively. Featuring the work of 40 experienced university teachers, most of whom are UK National Teaching Fellows, the book describes and analyzes innovative ways of using place and space for learning in a range of disciplines in higher education. In so doing, it provides practical ideas, solutions and inspiration for practitioners responsible for delivering learning in spaces within and outside universities, nationally and internationally, for undergraduates, postgraduates, adult learners and staff.
National Teaching Fellowships, awarded by the UK's Higher Education Academy, celebrate and recognize individuals who have made an outstanding impact on student outcomes and the learning and teaching profession in higher education.
"This exciting collection offers an innovative and creative perspective on teaching and learning in higher education. All those who teach in universities - and their students - will benefit significantly from the many new insights it provides."
Chris James, Professor of Educational Leadership and Management, University of Bath
"An important addition to the growing literature exploring interactions between the social and physical dimensions of learning in higher education. The authors are experienced teachers who have located their own practical experiences within conceptual ideas about space and learning, and the resulting case studies powerfully convey this integration of theory and practice."
Paul Temple, Honorary Associate Professor, Centre for Higher Education Studies, UCL Institute of Education
"In a busy world, where control and even surveillance are not far away, the matter of learning space becomes critical if higher education is to fulfil its responsibilities. Reframing Space for Learning takes these considerations seriously, and opens windows into spacious forms of teaching. Through accessible chapters, the voices of students, diagrams, and photographs, multiple spaces are not just depicted, but are here created. This lively and optimistic text demonstrates that new kinds of education are possible in universities. On the evidence here, the university still harbours spaces, and of many kinds."
Ronald Barnett, Emeritus Professor of Higher Education, UCL Institute of Education
