ERGO-VISUAL ANALYSIS OF THE EDUCATIONAL SPACE FOR SMALL PRE-SCHOOL CHILDREN

Abstract

Always, in the educational process, it has been attempted to create a comfortable environment for transmitting information to small preschoolers so that the process itself is not vitiated by various interferences or sources of discomfort. Most research has focused on identifying and removing noise sources, improving air circulation and thermal comfort, and perhaps less on the chromatic analysis of the educational environment. These aspects, whether they are in the educational space of the educational unit, or whether they are in the personal home, can influence the capacity for memorizing, concentrating and assimilation of knowledge by children that will lead, in the long run, to the drop in training capacity of children and, last but not least, of lowering the performances of the educational act. In the first part of the paper are analyzed the aspects related to determining the influence of the state of comfort on the behavioral parameters and in the second part of the paper are emphasized the specific aspects of the educational environment for pre-school children. In the third part of the paper are presented three specific situations of work areas in the educational system and the ergo-vision levels with implications on the children's visual system are determined. The final part of the paper presents and analyzes the results obtained by the procedures mentioned in the paper. Thus, a series of conclusions emerge from these studies that highlight the need to build an educational space on ergo-visual principles in order to create an interactive environment, a developer for children. Choosing the most suitable combination of color/light for each learning space is the biggest challenge but also the most effective solution for improving performance and increasing the degree of assimilation of children's knowledge during educational training.
