Interaction between learners within Self-Organized Learning Environments-Spaces of Architectural Engineering Department Case study

Abstract

Self-organized learning environment considered as a contemporary concept that directed towardtransform the education system from traditional environment architecture to scalableenvironment which could be formed by students and teachers. Descriptions components of thisenvironment are varied in previous studies, constraining some time on intellectual side or onphysical side or on behavioral side. Most of them describe teaching approaches betweentraditional and contemporary one, but there is lake in determining the nature on interactionbetween learner and teacher within specific physical learning spaces. The research problem is"Lack of knowledge about interactive relationship between self-organized learningenvironments components-intellectual, physical and social- and in particular physical rolein promoting interaction between the learners within these environments". Researchmethodology consists of three steps. first establish theoretical framework about characteristics ofself-organized learning environment and identify the items if interaction between learner .Secondapplied these items on case study consist of two different learning environments in department ofarchitecture in technological university, traditional and non-traditional and using questionersmethods, third, analyze finding and draw conclusions .main conclude is self-organized learningenvironment is a scalable interactive environment compering with traditional one according tolearning approaches that applied in them.
