DESCRIPTION:The current study focuses on the impact of learning space upon
  student learning in higher education. The issue of learning space has not
  historically attracted a great deal of attention in higher education\, bu
 t this situation is changing as notable studies of the connections between
  space and learning considerations have emerged globally recently. Among t
 hese discussions\, rigorous and multi-layered models and knowledge of the 
 role of learning space in influencing student learning in higher education
  is relatively lacking\, few conclusive agreements have been reached.\n\nT
 o fill the gaps in the literature\, the study aims to develop a detailed u
 nderstanding of the notion of learning space by incorporating contemporary
  insights of student learning in higher education\, and seek to investigat
 e how learning space impacts on students’ approaches to learning\, stude
 nts’ conceptions of learning and students’ learning motivation.\nThe f
 ocus of the empirical work will be on two learning spaces in China\, selec
 ted according to the distinct differences in their representative pedagogi
 cal purposes and physical features. By conducting a comparative case study
  through a variety of methods\, the results will be compared and contraste
 d to obtain an insight into how learning spaces could impact on student le
 arning in higher education.\n
