Abstract

This research investigates how students perceive and experience interactive learning spaces compared to traditional classrooms within educational campuses. Learning extends beyond the classrooms and occurs across the educational facility, including corridors, canteens, and roads. Educational facilities offer both formal and informal learning spaces. The term "formal learning space" refers to the spaces that support educational learning, such as traditional classrooms and lecture halls. The development of pedagogy: In the past few years, pedagogy has changed toward interactive and collaborative learning. Educational campuses are incorporating interactive spaces that promote flexibility, engagement, and collaboration among students in response to the changing pedagogical shifts. This study aims to evaluate whether these interactive spaces enhance learning experiences of students compared to outcomes relative to traditional classrooms through case studies, surveys, and observational analysis. The findings will provide insights into the role of architectural design in shaping educational experiences and future campus design strategies.
