- A Study Exploring Learners' Informal Learning Space Behaviors, Attitudes, and Preferences Harrop, Deborah Turpin, Bea Informal Education Cognitive Style Preferences Student Behavior Student Attitudes Academic Libraries Space Utilization Interior Design Longitudinal Studies Qualitative Research Statistical Analysis Observation Concept Mapping Learning Resources Centers Interpersonal Communication Interaction Privacy Scheduling Educational Environment Food Foreign Countries What makes a successful informal learning space is a topic in need of further research. The body of discourse on informal space design is drawn from learning theory, placemaking, and architecture, with a need for understanding of the synergy between the three. Findings from a longitudinal, quantitative, and qualitative study at Sheffield Hallam University, explore learners' behaviors, attitudes, and preferences toward informal learning spaces in higher education, within and outside of the context of the academic library. The learning spaces study contributes to the discourse on informal learning spaces design by producing a typology of nine learning space preference attributes which address aspects of learning theory, placemaking, and architecture. The typology can be used to evaluate existing spaces and inform redevelopment of informal learning spaces in higher education institutions. Implementing the typology will be subject to localized conditions, but at Sheffield Hallam University the key conclusions have included developing a portfolio of discrete, interrelated learning environments, offering spaces with a clear identity and encouraging students to translate their learning preferences into space selection.
