Pupil Participation in School Design in the UK

摘要

Over the last decade, an array of policy interventions relating to children, young people and education in the UK have positioned pupil participation in the (re)design of school environments as a key imperative. Indeed, pupil participation is an explicit, core ideal of major, ongoing school (re)construction and (re)design programmes in the UK such as Building Schools for the Future, Academy schools, and Primary Capital Funding. Pupil involvement in decision-making is central to this commitment. This research was undertaken to investigate how people participation was manifest and supported in 10 schools, with a view to finding instances of best practice and producing guidelines for teachers, Local Education Authorities and architects entering the process.
