| Teaching space is an important component of teaching system,and its structure characteristics and application practice have a profound impact on the teaching process and teaching effect.In the process of the development of The Times and curriculum reform,the teaching space is endowed with new significance and value,and the new teaching mode and teaching concept are also calling for the new teaching space structure.The Guidelines on Promoting the Construction of New Educational Infrastructure to Build the High-quality Education Support System issued by the Ministry of Education and other six departments make plans for new infrastructure in the field of education.The new infrastructure for education points out the direction for the current teaching space reform,and provides a strong material and technical foundation,which is of great significance for the realization of digital transformation and high-quality development of education.This study takes the new infrastructure for education as the background,constructs the analytical framework of teaching space in the context of the new infrastructure for education,combines the investigation of the current situation of teaching space in three primary and secondary schools,examines the existing problems of teaching space and analyzes the causes of them,and then proposes the path of optimizing teaching space,in order to provide ideas and reference for the optimization of teaching space in primary and secondary schools nowadays.Firstly,an ontological reading of the new infrastructure for education and teaching space is conducted to grasp the intrinsic connection between them.This paper interprets the new infrastructure for education from two aspects of connotation and meaning,as well as defines and analyzes the connotation,characteristics and types of teaching spaces,and then summarizes the relationship between them as follows: the new infrastructure for education and the optimization of teaching space are empowering in both directions,they share the common aspiration of helping education develop with high quality.On this basis,the contingent representation of teaching space in the context of new infrastructure for education is proposed as the investigative dimension and analytical framework of this study.Secondly,it conducts a survey on the current situation of teaching space in the context of the new infrastructure for education,summarizes the problems,and attributes the causes.In this study,three primary and secondary schools in Shandong Province,School M,School Y and School E,were used as the main research subjects.Questionnaires were administered to 630 students,in-depth interviews were conducted with 19 teachers and observations were made through a combination of field and remote on four basic questions: whether the teaching space meets the teaching needs of teachers,whether it pays attention to students’ learning experience,whether it incorporates elements of information technology to reflect the characteristics of the times,and whether it reflects the equity and justice of education.The study found that teaching space has the following problems: teaching space restricts teachers to implement precise teaching,teaching space ignores students’ learning experience,teaching space is fixed and rigid and lacks wisdom,and teaching space differences highlight the lack of equity.Then,the causes of the problems are summarized as follows: the lack of teachers’ teaching space literacy,the lack of students’ initiative and spatial perception feedback,the imperfect application mechanism of information technology in teaching,and the unbalanced allocation of teaching resources in teaching space.Finally,it explores the path of optimizing the teaching space in the context of the new infrastructure for education.The above review of the existing problems of teaching space in the context of the new infrastructure for education and the analysis of the attribution of the problems are combined to propose the optimization path of teaching space.First,improve teachers’ teaching space literacy to create a space that meets precise teaching needs;second,mobilize students’ spatial perception feedback to create a space that meets students’ physical and mental experiences;third,promote the precise application of information technology to build a flexible and diversified intelligent learning space;fourth,optimize the reasonable allocation of teaching resources to build a space that manifests justice in a harmonious and orderly manner. |
