“…Moreover, Wi-Fi coverage causes a waste of time, due to an out-dated infrastructure which collapses with a multiplicity of electronic devices. These results bring to light a different ICT reality to the positive approach in the literature [50][51][52][53]. ICT research applied in education normally focuses on control groups, while, in this case, a population in its natural state is studied, in which there seems to be a lack of use of ICT methodology, which may explain the inverse correlations with GPA.…”

“…Moreover, ICT is related with student participation through the use of social networks [51]. It is a factor that connects active teaching methods with the learning space, as it attracts students with a psychological demand that relates to being involved in a technological environment with a comfortable feeling [52], which may generate a positive predisposition towards learning [53]. Previous research has indicated the need for adequate furniture to perform active methodologies in the classroom, although with traditional furniture and ICT infrastructure, this can be…”

The influence of learning space on users has been broadly accepted and tested. However, the literature has focused on single factor research, instead of holistic approaches. Additionally, lower educational levels have been the focus of interest, while higher education is moving towards multi-method teaching. This paper focuses on how learning spaces for different purposes (practice and lecture rooms) may influence academic performance from a holistic approach of learning physical environment perception. For this, the iPEP scale (Indoor physical environment perception) is used and validated through Cronbach Alpha and Exploratory Factorial Analysis. Then, multiple linear regression is conducted. The results indicate that iPEP measures near to 63 percent of the construct, which is structured in six factors. Moreover, linear regression analyses support previous literature concerning the influence of learning physical environment on academic performance (R 2 = 0.154). The differences obtained between practice and lecture room in terms of predictor variables bring to the light the need to diagnose learning environments before designing changes in educational buildings. This research provides a self-reported way to measure indoor environments, as well as evidence concerning the modern university, which desires to combine several teaching methods.These studies provide evidence that acoustic comfort is fundamental to support sustainable learning environments, which implement active pedagogies [15].Illumination combines artificial lighting and daylight to offer visual support and it influences visual perception, cognitive processing, behaviour, learning and academic performance [16][17][18]. Therefore, lighting design perspectives should be task-driven, as well as focusing on comfort to human health and perception [19]. Appropriate levels of visual comfort have been evidenced to improve social relations [20]. While daylight helps students to retain and learn information [21], long exposure to artificial lighting may cause stress and lead to irritability [22]. Buildings are highly artificial lighting dependent, as there was no concern about energy efficiency when educational facilities were designed, and nowadays represent a major factor of energy consumption.In traditional learning, the views through windows are considered as distractor, which may explain the lack of daylight through windows, despite its importance for children [23], who distinguish lighting requirements given the task performed. Nature inspires students through its aesthetic value and entails a restorative effect on the mind, which fosters concentration [24]. It stabilizes students' psychology and reduces their negative emotions [25], and leads to a proactive knowledge of the natural environment. This fact may foster a culture in which life-based learning is a must and encourage positive social interaction [26]. Landscape views and walls with living plants are correlated with better academic results [27,28] and may reduce stress [29], whilst increasing le...

“…Schools are communal facilities, designed and operated to provide diverse educational services to students (Parnell et al, 2008). The spatial layout of these educational facilities aims to provide different types of spaces, to support teaching the different theoretical and practical sciences (Masły, 2008;Ariani and Mirdad, 2016;López-Chao et al, 2017). Thus, schools need to be planned, designed and constructed to provide the required spaces that support the educational process, namely classrooms, laboratories, art rooms, libraries and other support spaces (Neufert and Neufert, 2012).…”

A Framework for Fire Safety Management in School Facilities

et al. 2022

Schools are high-risk type of facilities in fire emergencies. This requires the implementation of safety measures, which comprise administrative and operational efforts to mitigate the occurrence of fire accidents. The review of literature indicated the lack of practical approaches that can be easily adopted for safety management in school facilities. This paper presents the development and implementation of a generic framework for fire safety management in school facilities. A literature review in the domain of fire safety in schools was performed to comprehend various knowledge areas in this context. A generic framework for fire safety management in school facilities was developed. The framework was implemented in a secondary school, located in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia, as a case study, to illustrate its applicability. An action plan was developed to improve the level of fire safety in the school facility, under review. The findings indicated that the framework provides a methodological and systematic approach for assessing the level of fire safety in schools, as well as determine the possible actions for improving the overall safety condition in such facilities. The paper provides a useful focus for practitioners and researchers concerned with fire safety in the educational workplace.
