Abstract

Educational space, especially open spaces in schools, plays an important role in the physical and psychological interaction of students. Appropriate design of these spaces, by considering stimuli appropriate to the stages of growth, can pave the way for increased vitality, motivation, and quality of learning. Vitality in school leads to the comprehensive development of students in physical, cognitive, emotional, moral, and spiritual dimensions, and neglecting any of these dimensions will prevent them from achieving full competencies. In modern education, the need for dynamic, participatory, and happy environments to develop life skills and confront the challenges of the present era is felt more than ever. Designing the school yard, as a key element in creating mobility, social interaction, and direct experience with nature, can transform the school from a purely educational space into a center for collective life and comprehensive education.
