Technology and teaching space: a pedagogical approach to the classroom of the future

Abstract

[EN] Modern society means that significant efforts now have to be made to find teaching experiences that do not involve the presence of digital devices. These technologies have managed to invade – even occupy – traditional teaching spaces. Hence the reason that this paper seeks to reveal the pedagogical importance of the teaching environment and how, rather than a place where all kinds of instruction are possible, the classrooms of the future are tending toward more of a nonspace. We conclude by affirming that the changes classrooms have faced over the past decade, although they might indeed be beneficial, should be subject to a pedagogical analysis prior to their introduction to enable us to decide whether they truly fulfil an educational purpose.
