Abstract

In recent years, a paradigm shift has taken place in school architecture, the beginnings of which date back to the 1960s. Cluster and open-plan structures are replacing the previous system of corridors and classrooms, with fl exibility, inclusion, clustering and networking identified as key criteria. However, the direct effectiveness of the new paradigm on learning outcomes has not yet been demonstrated by any studies. Meta-studies such as “Visible Learning” allow conclusions to be drawn about indirect effects resulting from the idea of “collaborative expertise” as a decisive factor. There are two important prerequisites for sustainable success of the new paradigm: participatory involvement of users in the planning process and pedagogical training that prepares them for working in innovative learning environments.
