The virtuous collaboration between research - school and companies has made it possible to gather evidence on the impact of organising the learning environment with flexible furniture on student motivation and on a transformative approach to the design of teaching practices.
Indire replicated a research already carried out by two Australian universities (Melbourne and Perth) and thanks to the collaboration between a first cycle school and GAM Gonzagarredi Montessori it was possible to collect some data that will allow us to start a reflection on the role of flexible furniture in innovative learning environments.
