“…However, numerous studies have indicated that learning passively through listening to a lecture is less effective than active learning through group work, questions response, case studies, or other activities (Freeman et al, 2014). To facilitate active learning, many institutions have redesigned their physical learning spaces from traditional lecture classrooms to active learning classrooms (Peberdy, 2014). These active learning classrooms have flexible seating with movable chairs around tables, and whiteboards or technology that afford opportunities for students to share their work with the class (Beichner, 2006).…”

“…Facility management (FM) in the educational environment is a small area, but it has been widely debated in recent years (Sandberg Hanssen and Solvoll, 2015;Lok and Baldry, 2015;Kärnä and Julin, 2015;Wilson and Cotgrave, 2016;Ramprasad and Subbaiyan, 2017;or Poon, 2019). Kok et al (2011) conclude that effective FM adds value to universities because it leads to better student outcomes through facilitating successful studying.…”

Purpose This paper aims to investigate how the students perceive the cleaning of the university, from an in-house and outsourced perspective. Design/methodology/approach This research is based on a survey conducted in the different university buildings with a total of 240 students. The survey was then analysed through an ordinal regression. Findings The ordinal regression indicates a statistically significant result were student are more satisfied with the cleaning performed by the outsourced service provider. Research limitations/implications The research in this paper is limited to one Swedish university. But, the overall strategies for how to organise the cleaning service at the university do address all universities. However, the research is limited and more research has to be performed. Practical implications The insight the paper provides regarding how the students perceive the cleaning service at the university gives direct implications to university in relation to how to consider the cleaning service as an important factor. Originality/value It provides the first study from a student perspective on the question of cleaning of the university, when previous studies have indicated cleaning as an important function not least to student’s performance and academic results.

“…Based on these challenges, Ramprasad and Subbaiyan [24] carried out an evaluation of Further Education students’ attitudes concerning the importance of acoustic pollution and its prevention, whose results showed a correlation between the absence of noise and satisfaction in class, and between the academic performance of students and their positive perceptions of the classroom as a learning space. Structural measures were proposed that involve the improvement of soundproofing in classrooms to eradicate acoustic pollution in education centres [25].…”

Pollution is shown as the environmental challenge, which has the greatest impact on global climate change. Faced with this situation, numerous environmental summits agree on the fact that Environmental Education needs to be implemented within the different disciplines and educational institutions. Therefore, Further Education must foster the research and management of environmental education with the aim of developing responsible citizens with sustainable attitudes. Based on this idea, this paper aimed to analyse the attitudes in Further Education students towards different situations and habits linked to pollution, as well as some of its varied typologies (chemical pollution, acoustic pollution and management of solid urban waste and rubbish). To achieve this, a sample of 307 students from different degrees of Preschool and Primary Education was included, using a questionnaire as a measuring instrument. The methodology of the study was both descriptive, through the analysis of its measures, and inferential, with the preparation of a confirmatory conceptual model through the structural equation model (SEM). Results revealed that students are highly concerned about the different situations proposed, and that the predictive model forges strong correlations between the four variables of the study. Hence, the study focused on the idea of trying to enhance environmental awareness in the groups of students from different educational phases, to subsequently foster the implementation of specific actions aimed at preserving and conserving natural resources, and to guide society towards sustainable development.
