The Future Classroom Lab (FCL) is an inspirational, fully equipped, reconfigurable, teaching and learning environment in Brussels, challenging visitors to rethink the role of pedagogy, technology and design in their classrooms. In the Future Classroom Lab, visitors can explore:
- The competences and roles for students’ and teachers’ 21st century teaching and learning.
- Different learning styles and more personalised, active learning.
- Learning environment design and how it can impact student engagement and classroom interaction.
- Current and emerging technology to support all of the above and societal trends affecting education. http://www.eun.org/professional-development/future-classroom-lab
The Future classroom brings about many changes. It encourages the educator to ”rethink the role of pedagogy, technology and design in their classroom”. The Future classroom has 6 learning zones, with each space that highlights the specific areas of learning and teaching.
”All together the spaces form a unique way to visualise a new, holistic view on teaching. The zones reflect what good teaching should be about: being connected, being involved, and being challenged. Education should result in a unique learning experience, engaging as many types of students as possible.” Fcl.eun.org. (2016)
The Future classrooms encourage the teachers to promote a new way of teaching and hence move away from the traditional way of teaching which is not as beneficial to the learners,
