Creativity in Design Data Collecting Instruments
Space preferences Experienced by School-age Children
Abstract
The environmental scholar experience by school-age children, and the sensational reflections, generated by their stimuli; are interesting to stipulate as aesthetic quality of educational centres. New data collecting instruments are necessary, to allow researchers approach smaller scholar voices. From Arts based Research and by using fostering creativity techniques, we propose an instrument that combines: participant observation, like a way to get closer; the interview and visual language, to express answers; and documental analysis by categories, to obtain information.
The study shows the results of plural research, developed at 3 schools in Alicante city. It categorizes the preferred places between early years. The conclusions demonstrate the relation between aesthetic pleasure, pedagogic activities which stimulate all senses, and educational environment.
