Abstract
Since 2016, the Quality Development Services (QD) and the Centre for Learning and Teaching in Higher Education at the University of St.Gallen (IWP) have been offering Teaching Analysis Polls (TAPs) to instructors on a voluntary basis. TAPs are a participatory, formative feedback method with which university instructors can obtain qualitative feedback on their courses during the semester. Insights regarding what helps or impedes their students’ learning and any suggestions for improvement can be implemented directly in the same course SQUARE was ceremonially opened in 2022. Designed by the Japanese architect Sou Fujimoto, the building is intended to be an experimental field for teaching and learning, which enables interaction between students, university faculty, business and industry professionals, and local residents. At the request of SQUARE, specialized TAPs were developed and conducted in the spring semester 2022 to gain insights into teaching and learning within SQUARE. Our main research questions were: From the students’ perspective – what aspects of the course and SQUARE support and impede the learning experience? What suggestions do students have for improving teaching and learning in their course and in SQUARE?
