An ecological approach to understanding transitions and tensions in complex learning contexts

L. Mccrone and M. Kingsbury

This research conducted by Luke McCrone and Martyn Kingsbury explores the dynamic shifts between formal and informal learning spaces in a UK STEM university. Through a mixed-methods ecological approach, it uncovers significant insights into spatial, pedagogic, and agentic transitions, leading to enhancements in active learning environments.

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.
