The Gate School Escape Room : an educational proposal

Abstract

In recent years there has been much interest in the concept of innovation and its relevance in the educational field. In fact, educational innovation has broadened its perspective deepening beyond the physical architecture of spaces in which teaching and learning take place, and strengthening the idea of creating new learning environments in which pedagogical and psychosocial aspects are encompassed (Fraser and Fisher as cited in Davies et al., 2013). In this respect, and considering that educational innovation is still evolving, most researchers in the field agree that in order to create successful learning environments, educators should take a step forward, leaving their comfort zones aside and challenging themselves to spark innovation within the classroom; being necessary to highlight the willingness on the part of the teachers to explore and experiment with those new teaching and learning spaces.
