El espacio escolar actual: ¿una oportunidad para la inclusión?

This paper gathers the findings of a case study on the dimension of space in schools.There are not many works that reflect on the use that institutions make of school spaces and their impact on the socioemotional development of students.This qualitative study analyzes the spatial reality of 3 public primary schools in the Basque Country (Spain).A total of 169 people participated, of whom 144 are students and 25 are professionals from teaching teams.The results show the importance of reflecting on the use of space in the school, since it is often not adapted to the socioemotional development needs of the students.The close relationship between human development and space is evident, so multidisciplinary work is urgently needed to address architectural renovation with a pedagogical approach.
