BUILDING A CLASSROOM ENVIRONMENT FRIENDLY TO VISION: APPLYING LIGHTING DESIGN TO SUPPORT SENSORY DEVELOPMENT FOR PRESCHOOL CHILDREN

Abstract

In the context of early childhood education increasingly focusing on the comprehensive
development of children’s senses, the design of the classroom environment must not only meet safety needs
but also stimulate cognitive and aesthetic emotions. This topic focuses on creating a visually friendly
classroom environment through the application of lighting design that aligns with the psychological
and physiological characteristics of preschool children. The aim is to enhance the quality of sensory
education and support the development of vision, which is one of the dominant senses at this age.
The implementation method is based on integrating early childhood education theory, lighting design
principles, and current classroom organization practices. The results propose a system of principles and
solutions for appropriate classroom lighting design that can be flexibly applied in preschool facilities,
contributing to the establishment of a child-centered educational environment that is rich in aesthetics
and sustainable development.
