Latest research from the University Of Illinois Department
Of Landscape Architecture has indicated that students perform better on tests
if they are in a classroom with a view of a green landscape. They also recovered
better from stress. Students' capacity to pay attention increased 13 percent if
they had a green view outside their classroom window.
The researchers suggest “planners can identify sites for new
schools that already have trees and other vegetation, or they can plant many
trees on the site; architects can locate classroom, cafeteria and hallway
windows so they look onto green spaces; and school schedules can allow short
breaks to restore students' attention and help them recover from stressful
tasks.”
The findings are being published in the April 2016 issue of
the journal Landscape and Urban Planning.
