3.8 Student personality and preferred learning environments
Design & Management of Learning Environments 2019 • 28m
With Hannah Wilson, Liverpool John Moores University
When students are uncomfortable, their learning abilities are affected. Science identifies that each individual experiences place differently. Hannah will share a framework of student’s preferences in the learning environment. With a large body of literature suggesting that there are personality differences across academic majors, her research used the Big Five personality traits to examine the relationship between personality and preferences for elements of the learning space. The session will look at how this impacts space design and learning environment provision.
Hannah Wilson is a Lecturer in Research Methods in Business in Liverpool John Moores University. Drawing on her background in psychology, she has a specific interest in people centred workplaces and how they can support wellbeing, productivity, and specifically for students, their learning experiences.
