Research on Architectural Planning that Supports the Free Learning Semester Program School Curriculum in Middle Schools

摘要

In 2016, New education policy and school curriculum called the "Free Learning Semester Program in Middle Schools" would be applied to all middle schools as it is based on the departmentalized classroom program. To assess how space arrangements of school architecture can correspond to the needs of such educational curriculum, I have analyzed the school curriculum of the free learning semester program in middle schools, studied and analyzed the functions and spaces that need to be planned in response to the free learning semester program in middle schools curriculum. The research was conducted to 8 newly-built (since 2010) middle schools in Chungbuk. The findings would be beneficial for making the policy on architectural planning for future planning of middle schools.
