Learning environments

CDM Involver quickly produces measured and analyzed information from the users to support decision-making.

CDM Involver is based on the Finnish basic education curriculum and the well-being profile of each client school. The background is experience in planning 20 schools, solid expertise (principals, teachers, architects, builders, change managers and analysts) and two theses:

KatiBot-korkeakoulujen tilat opiskelijoiden silmin | SaniOvaskainen2021

"Based on the results of CDM Involver, the entire planning process started. The results clearly showed what kind of spaces, color worlds and learning spaces were wanted. Based on the results, a comprehensive change work was carried out in the school premises. CDM Involver is the number one implementation in Finland."

Participation in learning environment planning

1. Before the project

CDM Involver contains targeted questions separately for teachers and students. CDM Involver for teachers maps their vision of the new learning environment, teaching methods and pedagogy. CDM Involver for pupils maps preferences regarding the learning environment and study methods.

The best benefit from the survey arises when it is implemented in connection with the school’s pedagogical plan even before the new project.

2. In the planning phase

CDM Involver gives users the opportunity to influence the visual appearance of the new school building through colors, shapes and atmosphere.

CDM Involver is built in such a way that it gives guidelines without limiting the designers ability to create a unique environment. Designers get aggregated user opinions, which they can use in their design work as they wish.

3. After

CDM Involver collects feedback from users on the success of the design. It mirrors the questions to what was mapped. In CDM Involver, each object’s own photos are used. The best time for the survey is when the school building has been in operation for one academic year.

Let’s discuss the current situation at your school together! The meeting does not bind you to anything.
