Abstract

This paper investigates student transitions between formal and informal learning spaces in a UK STEM university using a mixed-methods ecological approach. Quantitative occupancy data and qualitative ethnographic observations and interviews revealed spatial, pedagogic, and agentic transitions and tensions. These findings informed modifications to institutional spaces to enhance active learning pedagogy.
