Evaluation of The Effects of Natural Lighting and Ventilation On Children Cognitive Development and Academic Performance: A Literature Review
Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Environmental Learning Design
Abstract
This study looks at the effects of natural lighting and ventilation on children's cognitive development and academic achievement. Recent study has shown that exposure to natural light improves cognitive skills such as memory recall, attention span, and information processing, all of which lead to better academic achievement. Furthermore, proper ventilation is vital in maintaining indoor air quality, which is necessary for students' alertness, attention, and overall well-being. The study examined diverse classroom settings to determine how differing levels of natural light and airflow affect students' learning experiences. According to the findings, classrooms constructed with enough of natural light and efficient ventilation not only produce a more conducive learning environment, but also contribute to better student health outcomes by lowering fatigue and stress. This study emphasizes the necessity of optimizing classroom surroundings to improve educational experiences, recommending that educational officials and school administrators prioritize the inclusion of natural lighting and sufficient ventilation in school designs.
