This approach requires a substantial change in the teaching process and it challenges the traditional hierarchical teacher-student relations as well as the physical learning environment.<\/p>\n<p>Today the learning environment should be flexible and dynamic to be adaptable to the changing needs of the teaching-learning process. This flexibility facilitates changes in the teacher-student interaction and improves the performance of various teaching-learning methods such as: teaching in a plenary session, peer learning, group learning, etc.<\/p>\n<p>It is also important to provide easy access to information for students. The learning environment needs to integrate the technical infrastructure allowing the student to collaborate with others and to interact with the teacher.<\/p>\n<p>The environment should create learning \u201copportunities\u201d; spaces that facilitate investigation and building of knowledge and skills. The interaction between the design of physical spaces, integration of technology and new teaching methods gives rise to a more holistic \u201clearning-oriented design concept\u201d.<\/p>\n<h3>PROJECT SCOPE<\/h3>\n<p>The recognition of the gap between modern and traditional approaches has led to a pioneer project at the School of Education, Ohalo Academic College, Qatzrin (Israel) and Steelcase Education.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-large wp-image-151900\" src=\"https:\/\/images.steelcase.com\/image\/upload\/c_limit,dpr_auto,q_70,h_1024,w_1024\/v1433529806\/www.steelcase.com\/Ohalo-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The scope was to create an experimental combination of interactive pedagogy within an innovative learning environment supported by technology. The physical learning environment should allow for a variety of teacher- student interactions by offering diverse types of \u201csettings\u201d through which students can have different learning experiences.<\/p>\n<p>Studies have demonstrated that the construction of a purpose-built learning environment influences attention, motivation and academic achievement.<\/p>\n<h3>A NEW LEARNING EXPERIENCE<\/h3>\n<p>Ohalo worked with Steelcase Education to design and outfit a series of active learning classrooms to bring their vision to reality.<\/p>\n<p>We wanted to understand to what extent does the design of a learning environment improve motivation to learn and how does the teacher perceive the influence of the new learning environment in comparison to the traditional classroom.<\/p>\n<p>The research sample was composed of 87 multicultural students and 12 teachers at the Ohalo College, Qatzrin (Israel). They completed the Active Learning Post-Occupancy Evaluation questionnaire online at the beginning and the end of the semester.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"print-only\"
