EDSPEC 2020
During the Fall of 2014 Architectural Research Studio (AAE 789) with professor Kevin Kemner at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. An inquiry began looking at new trends in education with a focus on spatial conditions within the classroom. To better understand each trend, we (Melissa Avelar, Jesus Diaz and Kitty Slaughter) have all investigated what do these new trends mean when planning a learning environment that caters to each pedagogy. This includes understanding who the 21st century student is, what are the 21st century skill's that the student needs to learn and who is the 21st century teacher is. Each author, under the guidance of Kevin Kemner, has done extensive research on the new teaching practices through survey's with teachers from various schools and the UNLV's College of Education Professor's, through library research, internet research using educational websites, journal articles and other various reports. After researching, the authors complied an Ed-Spec that categorizes each learning trend, illustrating the pedagogy and the ideas for spatial implications that will impact the surrounding environment.
