Book Synopsis Flexibility and Design by : Joshua D. Lee
Download or read book Flexibility and Design written by Joshua D. Lee and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-12-17 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book questions flexibility as a design approach by providing a longitudinal analysis of an innovative architectural experiment called the School Construction Systems Development (SCSD) project. The SCSD pioneered the use of performance specifications to create an open, prefabricated, and integrated system of building components that provided four modes of flexibility. Educational facilities throughout California used the SCSD system and it spawned a variety of similar projects throughout North America. This book traces the development and subsequent use of the system over 50 years through archival research, personal observations, re-photography, re-surveying, plan evaluations, interviews, and an advertisement analysis. These new findings provide useful insights for architects, educators, historic preservationists, and others about the affordances of spatial flexibility, the difficulties associated with technological transfer, the impact of unstable market conditions, the importance of user input during the planning process, and the need for long-term social relations to sustain architectural experiments.
Book Synopsis Questioning Modern Approaches to Flexibility by : Joshua David Lee
Download or read book Questioning Modern Approaches to Flexibility written by Joshua David Lee and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 740 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The culture of design has struggled with how to address modernity’s quickening rates and forms of change. Between the dialectical dispositions of Parmenidean permanence and Heraclitean impermanence, a wide array of hybrid approaches emerged during the 20th century under the polysemic banner of flexibility. This dissertation questions flexibility as a design approach towards sustainability by providing a longitudinal analysis of a particularly robust mid-century modern experiment called the School Construction Systems Development (SCSD) project. In 1961 an influential group of philanthropists, architects, government officials, industry representatives, and school superintendents met to address various challenges facing schools at the time. They decided that an open, prefabricated, and integrated system of building components was needed that could afford four modes of flexibility—spatial variety, immediate change, long-range changeability, and expansion. The SCSD project was launched with sufficient financial backing from the Ford Foundation when a consortium of California school districts agreed to use the system on their anticipated projects and signed a joint powers agreement that guaranteed enough business to entice industry to develop components in accordance with the first performance specification to be used in the American building industry. The building system that resulted from this collaborative effort was adapted to the unique needs of thirteen unique schools, which have all been altered significantly over time. This dissertation builds upon and questions the findings of earlier studies of the SCSD through an in-depth, mixed methods examination of four representative projects. Archival research, personal observations, re-photography, re-surveying, plan evaluations, interviews, and a manufacturers’ advertisement analysis are triangulated and synthesized using the tools of grounded theory and actor-network theory. The results document the transformation of the intentions and receptions of the SCSD by various relevant social groups over 50 years. These new findings provide a great deal of useful insight for architects, educators, product designers, historic preservationists, and others about the affordances of spatial flexibility as a strategy for sustainability, the difficulties associated with technological transfer, the impact of unstable market conditions, the importance of user input during the planning process, and the need for long-term social relations to sustain sociotechnical innovations.

Book Synopsis Educational Design Research by : Jan Van den Akker
Download or read book Educational Design Research written by Jan Van den Akker and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-11-22 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The field of design research has been gaining momentum over the last five years, particularly in educational studies. As papers and articles have grown in number, definition of the domain is now beginning to standardise. This book fulfils a growing need by providing a synthesised assessment of the use of development research in education. It looks at four main elements: background information including origins, definitions of development research, description of applications and benefits and risks associated with studies of this kind how the approach can serve the design of learning environments and educational technology quality assurance - how to safeguard academic rigor while conducting design and development studies a synthesis and overview of the topic along with relevant reflections.
Book Synopsis The Impact of School Infrastructure on Learning by : Peter Barrett
Download or read book The Impact of School Infrastructure on Learning written by Peter Barrett and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2019-02-04 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'The Impact of School Infrastructure on Learning: A Synthesis of the Evidence provides an excellent literature review of the resources that explore the areas of focus for improved student learning, particularly the aspiration for “accessible, well-built, child-centered, synergetic and fully realized learning environments.†? Written in a style which is both clear and accessible, it is a practical reference for senior government officials and professionals involved in the planning and design of educational facilities, as well as for educators and school leaders. --Yuri Belfali, Head of Division, Early Childhood and Schools, OECD Directorate for Education and Skills This is an important and welcome addition to the surprisingly small, evidence base on the impacts of school infrastructure given the capital investment involved. It will provide policy makers, practitioners, and those who are about to commission a new build with an important and comprehensive point of reference. The emphasis on safe and healthy spaces for teaching and learning is particularly welcome. --Harry Daniels, Professor of Education, Department of Education, Oxford University, UK This report offers a useful library of recent research to support the, connection between facility quality and student outcomes. At the same time, it also points to the unmet need for research to provide verifiable and reliable information on this connection. With such evidence, decisionmakers will be better positioned to accurately balance the allocation of limited resources among the multiple competing dimensions of school policy, including the construction and maintenance of the school facility. --David Lever, K-12 Facility Planner, Former Executive Director of the Interagency Committee on School Construction, Maryland Many planners and designers are seeking a succinct body of research defining both the issues surrounding the global planning of facilities as well as the educational outcomes based on the quality of the space provided. The authors have finally brought that body of evidence together in this well-structured report. The case for better educational facilities is clearly defined and resources are succinctly identified to stimulate the dialogue to come. We should all join this conversation to further the process of globally enhancing learning-environment quality! --David Schrader, AIA, Educational Facility Planner and Designer, Former Chairman of the Board of Directors, Association for Learning Environments (A4LE)

Book Synopsis Conducting Educational Design Research by : Susan McKenney
Download or read book Conducting Educational Design Research written by Susan McKenney and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-09-03 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Educational design research blends scientific investigation with the systematic development and implementation of solutions to educational challenges. Empirical inquiry is conducted in real learning settings – not laboratories – to craft effective solutions to the complex challenges facing educational practitioners. At the same time, the research is carefully structured to produce theoretical understanding that can serve the work of others. Conducting Educational Design Research, 2nd Edition has been written to support graduate students as well as experienced researchers who are new to this approach. Part I describes the origins, outcomes, and generic approach. Part II discusses the core processes of the generic approach in detail. Part III recommends how to propose, report, and advance educational design research. In addition to expanded treatment of research goals and practicalities, more examples, and attention to design-based implementation research, this new edition features enhanced guidance. For each of the four core processes, this volume offers: assessment tools detailed, behind-the-scenes descriptions of actual project work examples of how specific theories have been used to enrich the work For decades, policies for educational research worldwide have swung back and forth between demanding rigor above all other concerns, and increasing emphasis on impact. These two qualities, rigor and impact, need not be mutually exclusive. This volume supports readers in grasping and realizing the potential of educational design research. It demonstrates how rigorous and relevant investigation can yield both theoretical understanding and solutions to urgent educational challenges.
