Diversified Teaching and Flexible Space Requirements:Insights from Architectural Anthropology
Diversified teaching,as a concept that guides teaching practice under the new curriculum reform,is an important way to enhance the effectiveness of teaching.However,the effective implementation of diversified teaching does not only depend on the use of multiple teaching methods and strategies,but also requires the support of flexible teaching spaces.In view of the neglect of flexible teaching space in the current practice of diversified teaching,this study introduces the theory of architectural anthropology to provide support for the creation of flexible and adaptable teaching space.As a comprehensive theory integrating architecture and anthropology,architectural anthropology emphasizes that architecture is a reflection of culture and also has a certain impact on individual behavior and cognition.This suggests that the builders of teaching spaces need to design spaces that combine cultural and social characteristics to serve the diverse learning behaviors of students.Based on the inspiration of architectural anthropology on the construction of diversified teaching space.The study proposes corresponding design strategies for space construction from three levels:physical space,cultural space,and psychological space.It is proposed that the integration of spatial needs should enhance the comprehensiveness of the functions of physical space,give full play to the invisible educational value of cultural space,and satisfy the psychological and emotional needs of students,so as to promote diversified"teaching"and"learning"at the spatial level.
