Jennifer Platten Killeen

Sheila Danko

The objective of this study is to determine if the physical design of learning environments can foster a sense of student ownership in the learning process. Accommodation of permanent student artwork to school interior spaces may enhance student ownership. Sense of ownership incorporates personalization, sense of control, territoriality, and involvement. The authors uncover a significant association between school design and students’ sense of ownership. Furthermore, within a school incorporating permanent artwork, the stronger students’ perceptions are that their artwork can be permanently displayed, the greater their sense of ownership is.

Key Words: sense of ownership • territoriality • sense of control • personalization • student involvement
