    This document discusses rethinking school architecture and educational environments. It argues that school walls currently act as physical barriers that restrict social expression and the environment. To better support contemporary digital and globalized societies, schools need to integrate nature and bring the outside community into the school in more effective ways. This will allow for new forms of experiential learning that are more relevant. The document also reviews literature showing how physical learning spaces can influence teacher behavior, student engagement, and learning outcomes. Rethinking school design to provide both a home base and opportunities for adventure outside could help develop valuable job skills in students.

    Abstract

    Schools are places where we learn. A place where students are educated and train for the future

    preparation. Students spend their most of the time in school, so the school feels like home. In

    school architecture, walls act as a physical barrier towards the environment and restricting to the

    social expression. For changes in our society toward the digitalization and globalization with

    respect to nature and sustainable approach, we need to rethink on educational Environment. The

    walls of the schools should be rethought to bringing the community into the school in a effective

    way and also providing the physical space for experience from outside at school can create new

    way of learning and it may be more relevant for our contemporary culture.

    Keywords: School, Educational Environment, Sustainable approach

    Introduction

    The relationship between the student and their physical environment of school in social

    and cultural context can suggest meaningful approach to school architecture. It is more important

    to know how children psychologically and physically interact with environment of school and

    how this environment is influence by local culture and tradition. During school age children are

    naturally more interested towards the enjoyment and their ability to enjoy themselves and sense

    of enjoyment. Nowadays school only focus on theoretical knowledge so there is a change in the

    enjoyment patterns of the children because it is always influential of its surrounding

    environment. A good design makes a direct connection between the exterior of the school and

    children’s aspiration, inspiration, motivation and self-esteem. It was felt that school building

    should contribute to the aesthetic sensibility of the child by showing him standard beyond those

    of his own home. Considerable of health in school, the school environment needs to more

    connected with nature. Also the light can affect mood and natural daylight is today considered a

    fundamental requirement of learning environment. The reference of sharing reflects the

    perceived importance of social interaction and community in children’s learning. it was believed

    that open environment is encourage the natural sharing of facilities and space.

    Learning is that the central activity of faculties and universities. generally that learning

    occurs in school rooms (formal learning); different times it results from lucky interactions among

    people (informal learning). Space—whether physical or virtual—can have an impression on

    learning. It will bring individuals together; it will encourage exploration, collaboration, and

    discussion. Or, area will carry associate unspoken message of silence and disconnection. The

    influence of physical area on human action has been studied from each psychological and

    physical views. the sector of environmental psychological science explores such topics as place
    RETHINKING SCHOOL 4

    attachment, psychological comfort with area, and the psychological feature and sacred effects of

    area. those that study area from a physical viewpoint have an interest within the effects on

    activity of sunshine, temperature, and physical closeness. From the literature applied to learning

    areas in higher education, we are able to extrapolate some general patterns.

    Concerns regarding failure rates, reduced levels of abstract understanding, and high

    absence are all reasons why colleges and universities have searched for alternatives to traditional

    lectures because the primary mode of instruction .As a result, a comparatively new field of study

    has emerged that examines the influence of learning areas on pedagogue behavior, student

    engagement, and student learning outcomes. This field of learning areas primarily appearance at

    however area influences pedagogue and/or student behavior. whereas room style is a crucial

    issue, many other factors would possibly influence what happens within the room (e.g. teaching

    philosophy, pedagogue behavior, and students’ prior learning experiences). Finally, because

    space could be a major value element of instructional delivery, gaining a higher understanding of

    however area influences the learning method is important for instructional establishments

    making resource allocation choices. Prior research shows that pedagogue information, academic

    discipline, and individual pedagogy will influence teaching behavior. A artist approach is

    student-centered and supported the expectation that knowledge is developed or created through

    expertise. Instructors bring their philosophies into the room, that successively, can influence the

    kinds of learning activities that occur within the classroom and, ultimately, influence student

    engagement and learning.

    Classroom in order to provide as home base for child but simultaneously to provide

    experiential learning and adventure as children venture out. The term sustainability in design

    consideration for today’s perceived environmental threat and has not previously explicitly

    appeared as an objective in school building program. Learning through physical experiential

    intervention of Design, an architectural education, defines sustainability in a diverse way, citing

    the conservation of energy and resource, reuse of waste, conservation of nature, respect through

    involvement and the creation of buildings of long-term value. children are highly conscious of

    the environmental debate and, for them, it is important for their school buildings to meet the

    environmental challenges. It has been noticed that the current institutional courses of action to

    help specialized and professional training programs for populace beneath 25 years old is

    deficient. The social worthiness of professional instruction is likewise low. Currently, over 62%

    of the population in the nation is in the working-age crowd (15-59 years). Only 10% of this

    workforce (7.4 crore) is prepared, which incorporates about 3% who are officially prepared and

    7% who are casually trained. In created nations, gifted workforce is between 60-90% of the

    complete workforce.

    It has been noticed that the present educational program followed in schools doesn't

    enable children to obtain applicable aptitudes which are fundamental to become employable. The

    draft Policy features that the evaluation rehearses in the instruction framework center around

    repetition learning and testing the understudies' capacity to duplicate substance information,

    instead of on comprehension.
