Alternative education approaches and their effects onthe learning space

Main Article Content

Abstract

Today, the training method called ‘traditional education system’ is uniform, teacher-centered, connected to the book, and has a penalty–reward system. This has led to criticism of traditional education and the emergence of alternative perspectives in education. The ‘alternative education approaches’ are called new educational approaches. The spatial arrangements of these educational approaches are the most noticeable points. In this study, three alternative education approaches are discussed. These three approaches focus on spatial arrangements caused by educational philosophies. The main purpose of the study is to examine the close relationship between educational philosophies and educational spaces. In this study, education philosophy of each of these alternative education approaches was first explained and educational principles were determined. Then discussed about the sort of arrangements made on the space and how the space organisation was shaped. It has emerged that the ‘spaces’ and ‘space organisations’ in which education is given are shaped according to the basic philosophy of the center of education.
