Will classrooms still exist 20 years from now? Do we have traditional classrooms in a
physical sense anymore? What is the classroom anyway? For most of us, a classroom
consists of four walls, ‘closed’ doors, chairs, tables, perhaps a blackboard, and
sometimes a desk - simple but efficient pieces of furniture. A quick glance at the
history of pedagogical practices reveals that the classroom has scarcely evolved
over a period of many years. Is the traditional classroom intrinsically outdated or
has it rather survived the test of time because it is already self-reconfigurable and
has been adapted in many different contexts of use? Do we even need a classroom
anymore? Do we need a teacher in the classroom? What do we teach and what do
we want pupils to learn? What kinds of knowledge and skills will be required in the
future? These are some of the questions that we should bear in mind when thinking
about the classroom of the future.
