OECD School User Survey: Improving Learning Spaces Together

The design of the physical learning environment can foster, or hinder, the teaching and learning of 21st century skills. The OECD Learning Environments Evaluation Programme (LEEP) explored how learning environments can most effectively support the pedagogies, curriculum, assessment and organisational forms necessary to develop students’ capacities for the 21st century. The OECD tool consists of three self-assessment questionnaires designed for students, teachers and school leaders. They can be used to collect and triangulate evidence on the actual use of learning spaces, as well as to solicit user perspectives. Dr Paul Weldon led the expert team that developed the survey instruments.
