“…They postulated that this was the result of students working in well-lit conditions with fresh air. Hence, they ranked lighting next in order of criteria that had positive effects on student learning outcomes, as optimal levels of natural daylight offered the most positive effect [50] Supporting this assertion, Jago and Tanner [39] cited the results of seventeen studies from the mid-1930s to 1997, showing that the consensus was that appropriate lighting improves test scores, reduces off-task behaviour, and plays a significant role in student achievement. Similarly, Luckiesh and Moss [46] determined that lighting and its quality related positively to student test scores.…”

There are several , primarily carried out in the Western World, that have explored the reasons why parents' choice a school, which they consider best meets their children's needs and parental aspirations for their children. In order to contribute to the established knowledge it was essential to conduct an explore into parents' reasons for their selection private or public school in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). Such an investigation had not been conducted previously. This article details determent a factors highly regarded as effecting parental decision making: school facilities factors and physical education and sport activities factor. Analysis and discussion along with the study's conclusions and recommendations will be cited. Randomly selected parents, whose children attend private or public schools in Riyadh City, Saudi Arabia were invited to complete a standardised questionnaire after which to participate in a semi-structured interview to identify factors that influenced their preference for school. Two methodologies analysis of the reasons given highlighted demonstrating the frequency of cited range of reasons: school facilities, Such as computer services, the classrooms are a good environment and the school has a good theatre .Also the sport activities factor, For example, good outdoor games. And good indoor games those identified as the main elements that influenced their selection decision making.

“…One reported fewer sick days in classrooms with FSFL (London, 1987). Others found no effects of lamp type on absence rates (Kuller & Lindsten, 1992;Mayron et al, 1974;Wohlfarth, 1984). In Alberta schools, Hathaway et al (1992) assessed mean monthly attendance rate, among other variables over a two-year period.…”

“…Norris (1979) closed window blinds in those classrooms having windows, but could not entirely exclude daylight. Mayron et al (1974) did not report whether the classrooms had windows, but Mayron et al (1975aMayron et al ( , 1975b, described the rooms as windowless. Kuller and Lindsten (1992) followed classroom behaviour in four classrooms over one school year, crossing the presence of windows with the type of fluorescent lamp (FSFL or WWFL).…”

“…hyperactivity. O' Leary et al (1978a) performed a systematic replication of the Mayron et al (1974) study, studying children previously diagnosed as hyperactive, eliminating daylight, and controlling for illuminance level differences and expectancy effects on the part of teachers, observers, and children. They used a previously validated measure of classroom behaviour as the dependent measure of hyperactivity.…”

“…Several studies using videotape or time-lapse photography have concluded that FSFL reduces hyperactivity or aggressiveness, but have lacked clear coding protocols for these behaviours and have other internal validity deficiencies, including confounding illuminance and lamp type (Mayron et al, 1974;Ott, 1976;Wohlfarth & Sam, 1982). ix Moreover, most of the classroom studies did not randomly assign students to classes.…”

L.; Veitch, J. A. ABSTRACTBackground. Full-spectrum fluorescent lighting (FSFL) has been credited with causing dramatic beneficial effects on a wide variety of behaviours, mental health outcomes, and physical health effects, as compared to other fluorescent lamp types. These effects are hypothesized to occur because of similarity between FSFL emissions and daylight, which is said to have evolutionary superiority over other light sources.Method. This review, covering the period 1941-1999, critically considers the evidence for direct effects of FSFL through skin absorption as well as indirect effects on hormonal and neural processes.Conclusions . Overall, the evidence does not show dramatic effects of fluorescent lamp type on behaviour or health, nor does it support the evolutionary hypothesis.
