ABSTRACT

Despite its practical and symbolic importance, the role of space in higher education remains under-researched. This study develops an understanding of student experience of the campus as a learning landscape. It is based on 28 participatory walking interviews with students, including the hand drawing of a campus map. Participants tended to see learning as about individual study or working alongside others, and rarely mentioned lectures. The choice of space to study was often shaped by convenience, and appeared to be somewhat static and habitual. There was a lack of exploration and only a limited sense of the benefit of fitting the learning task to the space. Yet students felt a sense of ownership and safety on campus. They actively used the characteristics of space to manage their own attention through studying where there were visible cues to study and controlling distraction.

摘要

尽管具有实际和象征意义，但空间在高等教育中的作用仍未得到充分研究。本研究旨在了解学生将校园作为学习环境的体验。它基于对学生的 28 次参与式步行访谈，包括校园地图的手绘。参与者倾向于将学习视为个人学习或与他人一起工作，很少提及讲座。学习空间的选择通常受到便利的影响，并且似乎有些静态和习惯性。缺乏探索，对将学习任务适应空间的好处的感觉有限。然而，学生们在校园里感受到了主人翁感和安全感。
