Designing Teaching Facilities: Pedagogy as the Driving Force

Stump, K.H. and J. Swensen (2005) Journal of College Science Teaching, v34 n7 p25 Jul-Aug 2005 Abstract: Pedagogy, the art and science of teaching, should be the driving force behind the design of any teaching facility. What is taught and how it is taught should determine the size, type, and configuration of educational space.

This report describes four steps that should be followed to ensure success.
