Today, the training method called ‘traditional education system’ is uniform, teacher-centered, connected to the book, and has a penalty–reward system. This has led to criticism of traditional education and the emergence of alternative perspectives in education. The ‘alternative education approaches’ are called new educational approaches. The spatial arrangements of these educational approaches are the most noticeable points. In this study, three alternative education approaches are discussed. These three approaches focus on spatial arrangements caused by educational philosophies. The main purpose of the study is to examine the close relationship between educational philosophies and educational spaces. In this study, education philosophy of each of these alternative education approaches was first explained and educational principles were determined. Then discussed about the sort of arrangements made on the space and how the space organisation was shaped. It has emerged that the ‘spaces’ and ‘space organisations’ in which education is given are shaped according to the basic philosophy of the center of education.

The purpose of this study was to reveal the Participation of the Moi Community in Kambik Education (Indigenous Education) in Maladofok Village, Sorong Regency. Kambik education is a Moi tribal education system in Sorong, West Papua. Kambik education (Moi tribal customary education) learns about leadership, learns the customs of the Moi tribe, traditional medicine, and understands human existence.  Various problems began to emerge in the life of the state, the demand for revival and reviving the values of local wisdom into an alternative. So it is important in this research, the researcher raises two issues that have been formulated in the question. First: What is the participation of the Moi community in the Kambik education process ?, and Second; to what extent are the values taught in Kambik's education in social life? This question is important to be formulated as the power of data which then becomes a reference in education policy that raises local potential. The research uses a qualitative approach. Researchers conducted in-depth interviews at the research location, more points than the ethnographic method itself is that researchers conduct research and also get meaningful education from the lives of local people. The results of this study are to encourage the acceleration of development in Sorong Regency. Because in addition to the academic interests, the Moi tribe Kambik (traditional education) education is a new alternative form of humanity awareness in the Moi tribe of Sorong Regency. The results of this study could be a recommendation and input for the Sorong Regency government to plant the values of Kambik education itself in the generation of indigenous Moi children in Sorong Regency in particular and the Moi generation in general.      The results of the study are, First: project files for alternative education design in Sorong Regency or can be synergized with a special curriculum.

AbstractThe design strategy common to the educational spaces for the “Up School” based in the metropolitan area of Cagliari aims to frame a flexible learning space open to experimentation and the active exploration of places. Indeed, learning does not merely mean collecting and memorizing information; it also requires the ability to select, connect, understand and integrate, first by acquiring self-awareness and by developing perceptual abilities. Space—as experienced in its dynamic dimension—plays a crucial role in this process. The principles of the dynamic perception of space established by the most important investigations in neuroscience of recent years, were declared by the experimentations of the Bauhaus workshops, ahead of their time, as being strongly related to space, body and mind. Beginning with this premise, the “Up School” project—nursery, preschool and primary school—integrates an innovative educational program with the spatial layout of its environments. These spaces are conceived as a fluid sequence of “affordances” where, from an early age, children can shape their world within a perspective guided by good sustainability practices, enabling technologies and psychomotor equilibrium. Thus, the school system changes by being more conscious of its fulcrum: namely, the psychosomatic dimension of the individual.

Transforming learning spaces has become a priority for many schools, not only for implementing emerging methodologies but also for sanitary reasons due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Schools struggle to find solutions for the lack of space in order to respect the required safety distance, especially public schools with a very tight budget and many administrative barriers to overcome. From participatory action research, findings confirmed that expanding and refurbishing indoor and outdoor space in many public high schools is urgent. Then, an opportunity emerged to develop a new learning space in one of the high schools in touch with the research team at Miguel Hernandez University working on educational spaces since 2017. This article describes the action research (AR) carried out, its main results regarding needs and deficiencies in public high schools in our surroundings, and a subsequent Service-Learning experience promoted by the research group as a solution for upgrading and extending educational spaces and simultaneously developing students’ soft skills, empowering youth, participation, local partnerships and other sustainable development goals meeting 2030 Agenda.

The COVID-19 pandemic has challenged many educational institutions around the world in 2020 and 2021 as traditional education has been interrupted to prevent the spread of the virus. This forced the transition from traditional education to fully distance learning envi-ronments for all levels of education. The widespread adoption of distance learning has led instructors to form new digital learning environments and methods. In response to this unexpected situation, data regarding engineering students and their interaction with the learning environment was accumulated and processed, generating a matrix of 129 × 165 variables. The motivation for this research is to identify new variables that impact student performance during the disorientation of the educational process due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Statistical analysis was performed and discussed in this paper including correla-tion analysis, factor analysis, and clustering. Reliability analysis was also performed and ANOVA (analysis of variance) was applied to clusters. The novelty of this work is to use student performance data and statistical analysis of online surveys to reveal patterns that can help reduce dropout rates and transform the educational process, under extenuating and imposed distance learning circumstances. A major finding is that by applying innovative teaching methods, thereby meeting the challenge of an imposed distance learning environ-ment, students' spatial conceptions improve, overcoming the absence of a physical learning space. Deep insights for individual students were discovered, as well as significant relation-ships between students' transition from secondary to higher education and their understand-ing of geometric features. Evidence of the effectiveness of the online learning framework that was integrated showed that it positively influenced students' learning styles.

<div><p><em>The transition from the traditional education system to the global system made some changes in the teachers’ educational philosophies. The teacher is a mentor, director, and educational leader in the educational process. A successful teacher is the one who is able to organize the work and classroom life, thus, teachers are somehow guided by certain philosophies as they enhance their pedagogical skills before practicing their profession.  This study aimed to find out the prevailing educational philosophies of teachers when taken as a whole and when classified according tosex, age and area of specialization. The respondents of the study were the 62 regularcollege faculty of the West Visayas State University-Janiuay Campus who were chosen through total enumeration.Data were gathered with the aid of a self-made philosophic inventory checklist which was validated by experts and pilot- tested. </em><em>It utilized the descriptive design to collect, analyze and classify data on the prevailing educational philosophies of pre-service teachers.  Results showed that college facultywere likely to accept reconstructionism, behaviorism and progressivism as educational philosophies when taken as a whole and when classified according to sex, age and area of specializations. Conclusions and recommendations have been drawn at the end of this study.</em></p></div>

AbstractIn these historic times, when there is a crucial shift in the way we consider the cultural and architectural aspects of learning spaces, it is important to investigate the role this spatial resource plays in the urban context. This, so we can understand the need to break with the outdated ideas about school that are deeply rooted in our society. There is common ground between architecture and pedagogy, a possible dialogue between space and knowledge, which can generate new explorations into the ordinary meaning of educational spaces and landscapes of knowledge, as a chance to expand the concept of inhabiting a space and how that impacts the world, and to devise a new urban condition. By first considering cities as a broad, extended learning space, we provide a chance and an incentive to reflect on the role of spatial design. The city is an important educational tool, since it represents a space of discovery, growth, socialization, tension, conflict and adventure. It is also where autonomy, adaptive intelligence and relational skills are developed. A new relationship between school and the city defines the future of learning and civilized co-existence.

Education with philosophy has a close relationship because philosophy is a view of life that leads to the goal of education. According to Dewey, changes that occur in society must exist and inevitable because education is always changing. The perennialism view at the moment that education is regarded as a container to direct the center of culture. While human beings are able to solve the problem and achieve its goals rationally. This condition of development in the flow of philosophy one of which is essentialism. And education as a tool to process humanize human, with the difference of orientation and philosophy that became his belief. Differences philosophy in a nation will bring a difference in the perspective or purpose of education itself. Learning with the P4C contributes to raising children to be sensitive individuals who respect different perspectives and are able to shape their own rights, have ethical values, take care and improve themselves, and embrace new ideas.

Современная модель общества претерпевает изменения в связи с технологизацией и цифровизацией пространства культурной деятельности, которые, в свою очередь, тесно связаны с виртуализацией личности и существенно новыми ценностными ориентирами. Кроме того, резкое внедрение информационных технологий во все сферы деятельности человека произошло резко и моментально, без последовательной и поэтапной трансформации. Причина этому - пандемия, которая стала основой для социального дистанцирования личности. В образовательной среде именно цифровые технологии способствовали формированию дистанционного обучения, что и позволило расширить возможности традиционного образования, однако с учетом и выявлением многих особенностей перехода и взаимодействия двух образовательных пространств. Включение дистанционного образования в систему обучения происходит с формированием новых противоречий, которые в основном связаны с массовой цифровизацией социального пространства. В данном случае информационные технологии выступают как инструмент обучения, что, с одной стороны, привносит в систему образования элемент адаптации к вызовам современности, с другой стороны, именно это позволяет рассматривать дистанционное образование в качестве современного этапа развития образования, формируя многомерность образовательного пространства, основывающегося на двух культурно-ценностных парадигмах. The contemporary model of society is undergoing changes in connection with the technologization and digitalization of the space of cultural activity, which in turn are closely related to the virtualization of the individual and significantly new value guidelines. In addition, the sharp introduction of information technologies in all spheres of human activity occurred abruptly and instantly, without a consistent and phased transformation. The reason for this is the pandemic, which became the basis for social distancing of the individual. In the educational environment, it were digital technologies that contributed to the formation of distance learning, which made it possible to expand the possibilities of traditional education, however, taking into account and identifying many features of the transition and interaction of the two educational spaces. The inclusion of distance education in the educational system occurs with the formation of new contradictions, which are mainly associated with the mass digitalization of social space. In this case, information technologies act as a learning tool, which, on the one hand, introduces into the education system an element of adaptation to the challenges of our time, on the other hand, this allows us to consider distance education as a contemporary stage in the development of education, forming a multidimensional educational space based on two cultural and value paradigms.
