| dc.description.abstract | The goal of this thesis is to set a greater focus and priority to teacher workspaces outside of
the classroom today. In order to do this, scenario planning has been used to explore possible
futures of teacher workspaces in order to examine how future needs can be planned for and
implemented today. To this end quantitative research was done on teacher workspaces today,
and qualitative research was done in the form of literature review, interviews and scenario
planning.
The scope of the thesis is limited to Norwegian primary and secondary public schools. The
focus of this thesis is teacher workspaces and support spaces used for pre- and post teaching
activities outside of the classroom.
The thesis concludes that teacher workspaces of the future will require a greater variety of
flexible spaces where teachers can perform the various tasks outside of the classroom that
support their core operation, teaching. There should be spaces for both collaborative teamwork
and quiet concentrated work. A greater variety of workspace can be provided for
teachers without a significant increase in total area by providing more shared-use spaces for
students and teachers, such as group rooms nearby teacher workspaces that can be used as
meeting rooms and collaborative spaces for teachers outside of class time. New Ways of
Working or Activity Based Working are two workplace theories that could be implemented
for teacher workspaces. | nb_NO |
