Classroom design recipe is a learning and
teaching tool that aims to propose opportunities to rethink classroom space
design in order to facilitate and support learning and influence innovative
teaching practices. Additionally, Classroom Design Recipe inspire teachers to change, use and
prepare the classroom space to support and facilitate learning activities. This tools is available online on this
link http://classroomrecipe.blogspot.co.uk.
The
design of this tool responds to insights from the fieldwork. Inspired
by teaching
tools,
it
responds to
users’ diverse ways of teaching and learning, and aids understanding of
how
learning
spaces are used. In addition, the
tool
is
designed to
offer teachers
an opportunity to participate by adding their own ideas to the tool and to
inspire each other.
This tool consists of different cards.
Each card
offers
an
idea that could be applied in the classroom in order to facilitate and
utilise
classroom space
to support
learning.
The information
in these cards has been developed from PhD research. Each
card in this tool is divided to five sections:
- •Section 1. Title: This presents the title of the card.
- •Section 2. Why: This section tells users what benefits they will get from using the card and why they need to use this card.
- •Section 3.How: This section gives users guidelines on how to apply this card and what they need to do in order to apply it.
- •Section 4.What: The section shows users what to expect when they apply this card.
- •Section 5. Apply and Share: The Apply and Share section is about users’ applications and sharing their implementation with others. When users employ this card they can take a photo of their application and share it on social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, Instgram and Pinterest. Also, by using #Classroom_Design_Recipes and #the name of the card users can look at other users’ cards and applications.
Additional
card templates
will
be added to the Classroom_Design_Recipes tool that will
allow users
to add their own ideas and participate in the tool’s
design. Also, the template could be
