A conceptual framework for developing spatially responsive educators

<p>  </p> <p>The framework conceptualises professional learning in school learning environments as having three key components: knowing <em>what</em>, knowing <em>how</em>, and knowing <em>with</em> (Mahat, 2022) illustrated in the figure. Knowing <em>what</em> or replicative knowledge demonstrates competence or knowledge in spatialised pedagogies. Knowing <em>how</em> or applicative knowledge demonstrates applicability of spatialised pedagogies in teaching practice, and knowing <em>with</em> or collaborative knowledge demonstrates collegial learning and reflection within teaching as a profession. These three key components provide the knowledge base for developing teachers’ spatial competency in implementing and using school learning environments. </p>
