Aesthetic Learning Environments and Their Impact on Concentration and Creativity

Gh. Hassan Bhat

Abstract: This research paper explores the influence of "aesthetic learning environments" on students? concentration and creativity, particularly in the context of foundational learning and early education. Drawing from the principles of NEP 2020 and NIPUN Bharat, the study highlights how murals, nature corners, and student-generated content contribute to joyful and engaging classrooms. A qualitative action-research methodology was used, combining observations, interviews, and FLN-based assessments. Findings reveal that aesthetically enriched classrooms foster deeper attention, creativity, and ownership of learning. Aligning with Edgar Dale?s Cone of Experience, the study emphasizes that multi-sensory and experiential learning environments lead to greater engagement and retention. The paper concludes that aesthetic design is not a luxury but a pedagogical necessity for advancing FLN and NEP 2020 objectives.
