A Design Assessment Scale for Elementary Schools.
Tanner, C. Kenneth
The Design Assessment Scale for Elementary Schools (DASE) assists educators and architects in planning and designing developmentally appropriate learning environments for elementary schools. This article examines DASE, its introduction and development, the first step in the instrument's validation process, and the initial reliability coefficients. Also described are each of the DASE facility design assessment components for measuring the degree of functionality, safety, adequacy, quality, pattern, and overall impression. The article concludes by describing a design assessment scale for elementary schools in terms of validity and reliability. Contains 23 references. (GR)
