[1] High schооl students perfоrm better on tests if they аre in а clаssroom with a view of a green landscape, rather than a windowless room or a room with a view of built space, according to research from the University of Illinois Department of Landscape Architecture. [2] The research found that students with a green view outside a classroom window performed better on tests requiring focused attention and recovered better from stress. It is the first study to establish a causal relationship between exposure to a green view and students’ performance, said William Sullivan, head of the landscape architecture department. [3] “It’s a significant finding, that if you have a green view outside your window, you’ll do better on tests,” said Dongying Li, a doctoral student who conducted the research with Sullivan. Students’ capacity to pay attention increased 13 percent if they had a green view outside their classroom window, the study found. [4] The research involved 94 students at five central Illinois high schools. Students were randomly assigned to one of three types of classrooms – windowless, with a window looking out onto built space (such as another building front or a parking lot), or with a window looking out onto green space. Each type of classroom had a similar size, layout and furniture. [5] The findings: Students did better on the attention tests given after the break if they were in a classroom with a green view, Li said. Those students showed a 13 percent increase in performance following the break. There was no statistical difference in performance for the students in the windowless room or the room with a view onto a built space. Similarly, the students in the room with the green view showed a greater physiological recovery from stress after the break than the other students. Views of nature enhance recovery from stress, and the students with a view of a green landscape showed a greater recovery from stress. [6]The researchers suggest their findings can help designers, planners and policymakers enhance students’ well-being and learning. For example, 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. According to the reading, how many Illinois high schools were part of this study?
