As MCCCD begins to plan the design and/or renovation of learning spaces associated with the bond and the capital development program, we must consider how learning environments affect student engagement and learning. |

(Abstract) This study addressed the general research question: "Does a flexible learning environment affect student engagement?" During the spring semester of 2007, students and faculty in a prototype learning studio were given questionnaires consisting of items related to learning styles, the manipulation of the learning environment, and student engagement. Qualitative data was collected from selected students in the study. Results suggest that, although a flexible learning environment may not create student engagement, it does support both student engagement and interactive teaching styles. In addition, the data revealed that careful consideration of room size and furniture styles is essential in creating a flexible space that can easily and quickly be reconfigured.
