Abstract

Higher educational institutions internationally have shown a growing interest in developing learning spaces that support student-centred learning approaches. For engineering education, this development aligns well with an increased emphasis on cross-disciplinarity and a system-thinking approach. However, research and our own experiences as teachers and evaluators of such learning spaces suggest that teachers who enter these learning spaces need support, as the complexity of the teaching situation becomes more apparent, compared to the traditional lecture hall. In this workshop, we will investigate this complexity together with the participants.

Participants can expect to leave the workshop with a better understanding of:

• a conceptual framework that will assist the participants in navigating through the complexity of teaching in student-centred learning spaces.
• how to plan, implement and evaluate one’s own teaching in such learning spaces (Do’s and Dont’s).

The take-home message from this workshop is an appreciation for how the relational, pedagogical, spatial, and technological aspects intertwine and affect the learning environment in spaces designed for student activity.
