Impact of Natural Lighting in Classrooms on the Mental Health of Students of Selected Secondary Schools in Ikorodu
Abstract
Natural lighting has emerged as a crucial environmental factor influencing the mental health and well-being of students in educational settings. Despite its importance, the direct impact of natural lighting on students' mental health remains underexplored in secondary schools. This study employed a mixed-methods approach to investigate the effects of natural lighting on the mental health of students in selected secondary schools in Ikorodu. Data were collected through surveys, interviews, and observational studies, focusing on students' mood regulation, stress levels, and overall mental well-being in classrooms with varying levels of natural lighting. Spatial analysis and user experience assessments were utilized to determine how natural lighting influences students' emotional states and academic performance. The findings revealed that classrooms with adequate natural lighting significantly contribute to improved mental health outcomes, including reduced stress and enhanced mood stability. These results highlight the importance of incorporating natural lighting into educational infrastructure design to create supportive learning environments that promote students' mental health and academic success. The study underscores the strategic role of natural lighting in fostering a healthier and more productive educational setting.
