The Impact of School Infrastructure on Professional Learning Community and Teaching Practices: A Systematic Literature Review Framework for Maldivian Schools

Abstract

Literature shows a clear impact of the schools' physical environment on the professional learning community and teaching practices. As Maldives' quality of education depicts a decline, the paper intends to examine the influence of school infrastructure on the professional learning community (PLC) and teaching practices. A systematic literature review was done on articles between 2018 – 2020. A descriptive analysis and thematic analysis were followed by a framework to comprehend the impact of school infrastructure on PLC and teaching practices. The integrated framework may be used by policymakers and school leaders to create a positive learning environment through a standard infrastructure and improve Maldives' teaching practices. The paper may be examined later to collect empirical evidence to support the study
