Teaching notes, worked example & research connections
Keep the relationship in view.
Compare two fictional layouts while keeping the learning activity fixed. Inspect where materials can be reached and how the display can be seen. An illustrative model cannot certify the access or safety of a real room.
Prepare for the exploration.
Use the fictional arrangements to discuss spatial relationships. Check actual access requirements with the people using a real setting.
Use the representation thoughtfully.
The model is an explanatory aid. It does not assess a learner or establish that a teaching approach will suit every situation.
Connected to practice.
This fictional activity relates to the wider theme of participation in education. It is separate from participant material and from the model proposed in the doctoral thesis.
