HOW KINNARPS’ LEARNING SPACE ANALYSIS WORKS

Our learning space analysis finds out what is needed to create the very best learning environment for you. It gives a good basis for a supportive learning space and a starting point for sketching the interior design proposal. An important part of the analysis is also to involve, include and prepare everyone who will use the future spaces. In simple terms, it’s about understanding and analysing in order to improve. This is how our method looks:

Inspiration & vision

First, we gather the management or project group for vision and inspiration. We hold a lecture about the learning spaces of the future, based on research and experience, we make study visits and conduct a workshop to create consensus. Together, the group formulates values, vision and strategy. It is important for the management to have a clear idea of why they are carrying out the change.

Workshops

In the next stage, staff and students are involved. New ideas and ways of thinking are tried out by means of concrete tools and workshops. For example, the participants are given the chance to reflect on where they want to perform different types of activities and, with the help of blocks and a board, try furnishing different learning environments.

Web survey

The mapping also includes a web survey in which the participants answer questions about their current learning environment and how they would like to work in their future learning environment. How proud are you of your school? Do you feel secure? Are there spaces for concentration? Are there spaces for collaboration? How does the classroom work?

Data

All data gathered from the web survey and from our meetings, discussions and workshops is compiled in a report. Together with you, we go through the report and its conclusions. We make recommendations about the physical environment and what is important to consider in the next stage, when a design is drawn up. The report provides a basis for creating the very best learning environment for you.
