Strategisk studiemiljöutveckling : och relevansen för studieplatsen Kokong

Sammanfattning: The task for the work was to find out how the study environment at LTU can strategically be developed. The background to this work is that the learning environment is a subject that engages more and more people, SUHF (2016) writes that it could almost be said to be red- hot as a theme. LTU is currently making major investments to update the premises at the university and my own interest in pedagogical issues and study environment is why I chose to do my degree project on how a study environment can be strategically developed at LTU. During the period 1 April 2019 to 1 June 2019, I did a work on how a piece of furniture can be designed and complement the existing physical environment at Luleå University of Technology to lead to a better study environment for the students. It resulted in a physical prototype with functions of a furniture that enable students to adapt the place of study to their own needs as, working position, lighting, visual shielding and sound absorbing. This prototype is today called the Kokong and got its name from the butterflies' cocoon where they can shield themselves and protect themselves from the environment while it goes from being a caterpillar to a fully formed butterfly. In this work, it will also be investigated whether or not it is relevant to complement the environment with the Kokong in the strategically develop study environment. The work is based on first defining what the main purpose of universities and colleges is and then, through research, questionnaires and co-design with students, deciding how the study environment can be designed to contribute to the main purpose of universities and colleges.
