Neuroarquitetura e ambientes restauradores: o impacto nos processos de aprendizagem em instituição de ensino superior

Abstract

The relationship between individuals and their environment plays a fundamental role in everyday life and overall well-being. Understanding this interaction is essential for comprehending how environments affect emotional states and thus, creating environments that promote human development, health, and quality of life. This study investigated the impact of Neuroarchitecture and restorative environments, as considered by environmental psychology, on learning processes in higher education institution. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data, and 20 students regularly enrolled at the Federal University of Paraíba participated in the research, with 10 students from the Medical school and 10 students from the Electrical Engineering school. As a result, we found a significant influence of the physical environment on the educational experience of university students, focusing on elements such as lighting, acoustics and technology. Therefore, it is important to consider environmental design in promoting environments conducive to learning. This study contributes to understanding the crucial role of the physical environment in higher education and suggests practical guidelines for planning more effective and enriching educational spaces.
