ASSESSING THE IMPACT OF ART-BASED ECOLOGICAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS ON CHILDREN ENVIRONMENT AWARENESS IN NANJING

Abstract

Objectives: The main goal of architectural design is to create high-quality, comfortable spaces for people, ensuring that the area has a favourable effect on them. Studies on learning environments have produced broad guidelines for school design that should accommodate a variety of learning modalities (LM) in order to attain high-quality learning and teaching. The primary objective of the research is to expand Post-Occupancy Evaluation (POE) studies for school building assessments by using the notion of Learning Modalities. Methods: One crucial component for environmental comfort for educational institutions is the space's teaching role. Encouraging education by combining environmental sciences with artistic endeavours is a fun and inventive approach to get young people interested in both science and art. The results of a learning endeavour that students in Nanjing completed served as the basis for this investigation. The initiative included carrying out a number of activities that explored ideas pertaining to science, art, and solidarity. Results: The project's efficacy was evaluated based on the level of student participation, the calibre of the exchanges, and the final outputs. As per the students' perspectives, their involvement in this project was thrilling and enhanced their comprehension and enthusiasm towards environmental matters. Conclusion: This research emphasises how crucial it is to use artistic endeavours as a means of teaching and learning environmental science. This work attempts to examine educational research articles that have been published in the field of environmental artistic instruction with the goal of identifying the most influential element and shedding light on how it might enhance the policies put in place.
