OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Building from the findings of the EPSRC-funded HEAD (Holistic Evidence and Design) findings about the impact of the physical classroom design on the learning progress of primary school pupils, this talk will explore a range of practical implications. Examples will be drawn from experiences of applying the findings in diverse settings, such as Norway, Spain and Romania, as well as in the UK. Broader tensions or issues linking to the physical environment focus, such as questions of health, implications for pedagogy and the dynamics of change will be considered. A model incorporating all of these aspects will be proposed.
