| सारांश: | Final report from a project that was carried out over a two year period by a project team based at three Australian universities: Swinburne University of Technology, Victoria University, and The University of Queensland. The project was designed as an investigation into the purposes, theory and practice of learning space evaluation in the university sector. There were three major strands of investigation: (1) a review of literature and practice in the evaluation of learning spaces; (2) trial evaluations of learning spaces in each of the partner institutions, and (3) an exploration of the spread of stakeholder ownership and understanding in the evaluation of learning spaces in the university context. Findings showed that institutions share a range of challenges in relation to learning space design and evaluation, specifically: (1) a lack of resourcing dedicated to comprehensive evaluations; (2) sensitivity of evaluation processes and findings; (3) a tendency to present spaces positively and without contextual information, and (4) the complex nature of evaluation itself. However, over the period of the project the team saw significant changes in thinking, and a broadening of understanding of the nature of the evaluation process. Provided resourcing constraints are resolved, this is likely to result in improved rigour and reporting of evaluation processes and outcomes. |
