The experience of school as place.
Crumpacker, Sara Snyder.

The experience of school as place. - 217 p.

Major Advisers: James P. Esposito; Gib Akin.

Thesis (Ed.D.)--University of Virginia, 1992.

Grounded in environmental psychology and humanistic geography, this is a study of place, of everyday surroundings and their effect on the people who inhabit them. With emphasis on the built environment--the school facility--the study portrays how people understand and experience a small rural school culture through what they say (both tacit and explicit), what they do, and the artifacts they use. The investigation illuminates the users' everyday shared stock of knowledge: how people make sense of their daily lives, how they order their environment and organize their understandings, what perspectives they have, the practices in which they engage, and the inventions and creations they use to make things work for them.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a Grounded in environmental psychology and humanistic geography, this is a study of place, of everyday surroundings and their effect on the people who inhabit them. With emphasis on the built environment--the school facility--the study portrays how people understand and experience a small rural school culture through what they say (both tacit and explicit), what they do, and the artifacts they use. The investigation illuminates the users' everyday shared stock of knowledge: how people make sense of their daily lives, how they order their environment and organize their understandings, what perspectives they have, the practices in which they engage, and the inventions and creations they use to make things work for them.
520 $a Informants for the research were the people who attend or work at Schuyler Elementary School, located in the foothills of the Blue Ridge in Nelson County, Virginia, and made famous by the television series, "The Walton's." One hundred seven students attended the school during the data collection period.
520 $a The study was conducted using interpretive and descriptive techniques. Most of these techniques are standard ethnographic research; the rest have been used in environmental design programming. Techniques included participant observation, observation of physical traces, photography, a card sort, interviews, artifact collecting, mapping, informal interactions, conversations, naturally occurring encounters, and a card sort.
520 $a Informant interpretations discovered and discussed in the study include: multiple meanings of smallness, the use of home as a template for school, the importance of feeling like family and supporting each other, preferences in the school surroundings, the community's vested interest in the school, how people experience comfort, the significance of ambient sensory information, implications of shared spaces, factors contributing to a sense of safety and security, how people derive feelings of significance and belonging, and school as a repository for cultural memories and lore.
520 $a Diagrams depicting the results of data analyses are found throughout Chapter III. These images add to the richness, depth, and texture of the written ethnography. The researcher provides implications for school facility planners and architects in the final chapter. Design ideas grounded in the study's contextual findings are also included.
