Sweden debuts first classroom-less school. Desks, chalkboards and even classrooms themselves are a thing of the past at Telefonplan in Stockholm, Sweden. Education scholars have long been experimenting with tactics to facilitate learning in the classroom. Are kids more likely to take in knowledge when at desks arranged in tidy rows? When divided into smaller groups? Perhaps when sitting in a circle on the floor? Now, a freethinking school in Stockholm, Sweden wants to take the classroom out of the picture altogether.
Telefonplan, one of 30 schools from the Swedish education company Vittra, has done away with the concept of the classroom completely. Architizer reports: The principles of the Vittra School revolve around the breakdown of physical and metaphorical class divisions as a fundamental step to promoting intellectual curiosity, self-confidence, and communally responsible behavior. The school takes advantage of the flexibility that is allowed when learning takes place through digital media. Images: Kim Wendt/Rosan Bosch. School Library Design.
