Description
Adequacy of classroom learning spaces at the University of Guyana has historically been a challenge the institution faces. However, the coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic lessened the problem when the University of Guyana responded to the crisis by making rapid adjustments to continue operations online and to remain competitive while offering high-quality education. I created and implemented a flexible learning space choice model (FLSCM) to address the issues of inadequate physical learning spaces and the needs and preferences of contemporary students in the post-pandemic reality. The study used a concurrent mixed methods action research (MMAR) design to examine students’ perceptions of the model and the extent of the differences in student engagement and satisfaction with the teaching model. I collected quantitative data using an online questionnaire and qualitative data using one-on-one semi-structured online interviews. I used thematic analysis to analyze the qualitative data. I also analyzed the quantitative data using descriptive and inferential statistical analysis, including bivariate correlation, independent samples t-tests, and factorial multivariate analysis of variance (factorial MANOVA). The results indicate that students perceived the FLSCM as suitable for facilitating learning, student engagement, and satisfaction.
