Innovations in schooling and the architectural design of schools offer the opportunity to re-examine existing pedagogical practices. Graduating teachers need to be ready to teach and conversant with changing school environments and approaches to school organisation. However, there is a dearth of research that explores the student teachers’ perceptions of their experiences on practicum in innovative learning environments (ILEs). This article discusses the perceptions of over 100 student teachers undertaking primary teaching qualifications in New Zealand. An online questionnaire asked for responses to a range of statements about innovative learning environments (ILEs) and teacher education preparation for this type of school environment. Analysis of the findings indicated a wide range of experiences on professional practices, with more experience of ILEs generally leading to more positive perceptions of these environments. Student teachers perceived that more course-based preparation about ILEs was needed, though others perceived that the best way to learn about ILEs was during professional practice placements.

学校教育和学校建筑设计方面的创新为重新审视现有的教学实践提供了机会。即将毕业的教师需要随时进行教学，并与不断变化的学校环境和学校组织方法进行交流。但是，缺乏研究来探索学生教师对他们在创新学习环境（ILE）中的实践经验的看法。本文讨论了新西兰100多名获得初级教学资格的学生教师的看法。一份在线调查问卷要求对有关创新学习环境（ILE）和针对此类学校环境的教师教育准备的一系列陈述做出回应。对调查结果的分析表明，他们在专业实践方面拥有广泛的经验，拥有更多的ILE经验，通常会导致人们对这些环境有更积极的看法。学生教师认为需要更多有关ILE的基于课程的准备，尽管其他教师认为学习ILE的最佳方法是在专业实习期间。
