About this eBook

Study Environment Design explores how our physical surroundings profoundly impact learning and memory, arguing that learning environments actively shape cognitive performance and emotional well-being. It examines how specific environmental factors, such as sensory stimulation and spatial cognition, influence attention, memory, and motivation. The book highlights the impact of natural light and ventilation on alertness, as well as the importance of flexible spaces in promoting engagement.

The book uniquely combines environmental psychology with educational settings, advocating for evidence-based strategies in classroom design. Presenting both quantitative and qualitative data, including statistical analyses and observational studies, the book emphasizes participatory design, involving students and educators in creating optimal learning spaces.

By drawing connections to architecture, neuroscience, and educational psychology, it offers a holistic understanding of learning environments. Beginning with the principles of environmental psychology, the book progresses to examining specific design elements like lighting, acoustics, and layout. It then explores the application of these principles across diverse educational contexts and concludes by addressing emerging trends like biophilic design and personalized learning spaces.

This approach offers practical guidance for educators, architects, and designers seeking to create more effective and engaging environments to improve educational outcomes and student well-being.
