Acoustics 08, Paris, June 29- July 4
Abstract:
In recent years acoustic
requirements for classrooms were published in various guidelines. Of
course it
is important that the present knowledge will be implemented, but how
should
this be done? And what is the correspondence of acoustic requirements
and new
concepts of learning? These questions are the basis of a cooperation of
the
Laboratory of Acoustics at Empa, Dübendorf and the School of
Teacher Education,
Aarau in Switzerland. The cooperation itself is one possibility to
transfer
knowledge. In addition it was planned but not yet realized to develop
concepts
of knowledge transfer by student work (diploma thesis). Classroom
acoustics
were discussed in seminars and there were completed some diploma
theses. One project
dealt with the acoustic problems of a new teaching concept. Part of the
concept
is that teaching of four groups of pupils takes place in three
classrooms and
in the corridor. The doors of the classrooms remain open and at the
same time pupils
work individually, in groups, and a small group is instructed by a
teacher.
There were found suggestions for improving the acoustics, but for
different
reason the realization was not possible.
