A DEVELOPMENT AND OPERATIONAL PRACTICES OF STUDENT-CENTERED CLASSROOMS

A. Sripakagorn, T. Singhanart, K. Maneeratana (2019).  A DEVELOPMENT AND OPERATIONAL PRACTICES OF STUDENT-CENTERED CLASSROOMS. 11.

The modern student-centered classrooms in the Faculty of Engineering, Chulalongkorn University, were modeled after the SCALE-UP platform, a total disruption approach from the previously gradual improvement of classrooms. The first pilot room was completed in 2014 with five more fully equipped and two semi-equipped large classrooms in the next three years. The rooms were only allocated to courses with active learning only; lecturers who requested to use the classroom had to pass through the training. By the end of 2016, the classrooms were used around 48% of the working hour for regular courses, and 14% of all lecturers passed through the utilization training. While the classrooms were very popular, the invested resource and effort were equally high in order to meet the demand of the stakeholders. While the conception and infrastructure development was quite challenging due to financial regulation and bureaucratic practices, the real tests were the strategic deployment and operational practices for the room utilization, management, maintenance, and continuous development.
