Space v. place for learning

Abstract

COVID-19 has and will forever change educational practices. It is time to review, reflect upon, and implement new ways of teaching to best engage students that will integrate place-based education and project-based learning with in-person instruction, no matter the environment. Returning to the “old teaching practices” will not suffice in a post-pandemic society. This paper explores the difference in creating a mere space for learning and the profoundness of creating a place for all learners through lived experiences.
