University learning scenarios design for learning-by-doing

Education is a global issue, including the spaces where it takes place. There is discussion regarding a change in education, but not about the space necessary for these new active methodologies. In the framework of the philosopher and pedagogue Dewey, following his principle of learning by doing, a historical review of learning scenarios at university level is carried out and the factors to be taken into account in their design are studied, observing the need for a change in learning scenarios, especially in the scale of interior design and furniture, which must be adapted to the methodology, activities to be developed and users. Within the change from the classroom scene to the scenario environment, the classroom and its main characteristic elements are deconstructed, analysing the transition from the fixed desk to the mobile prototype, from the blackboard and the platform to the interactive interface, and from the door to the opening.
