Questionnaire on repurposing of educational buildings and spaces to foster and promote student centred learning in UBC member cities
UBC is participating in the European project titled Creative Repurposing of Educational Spaces for Innovative Student-centred Environments (CREST), financed by Erasmus+ programme, that is addressing the ways of how and where the learning and teaching processes take place. The aim of the project is to build a model for repurposing of educational buildings and spaces to accommodate student-centred learning through the perspective of learning environment.

An important part of the project’s first phase is identification of needs of different stakeholders involved in management and re-purposing of educational and public spaces, therefore we are turning with this short survey to provide us information and feedback. Your inputs will be crucial for development of a model for repurposing of educational buildings and spaces based on collaboration and involvement of all relevant actors.  

What is Student-centred learning (SCL)?
Up until the 20th century the teaching environment resembled the industrial economy, since the main purpose was to deliver a message to a large group, which sat in silence, listening and taking notes. A definition of SCL, put forward by McCombs and Whisler, has been widely used and encompasses the major parts of the concept:“the perspective that couples a focus on individual learners (their heredity, experiences, perspectives, backgrounds, talents, interests, capacities and needs) with a focus on learning (the best available knowledge about learning and how it occurs and about teaching practices that are most effective in promoting the highest levels of motivation, learning and achievement for all learners).”
