The Interior Design Guideline for Preschool Child Development Centers in Bangkok Based on the Brain-Based Learning Approach

Abstract

The objective of this research paper was to propose the interior design guidelines for Bangkok preschool child development centers, in order to enhance the learning environment of early childhood children according to the brain-based learning approach. The documentary research technique was employed in this qualitative study to synthesize knowledge and formulate interior design guidelines for boosting the learning environment of preschool children aged 2 to 6 years old in Bangkok’s preschool child development centers. The major findings of this research were the brain-based learning approach, psychological concepts, theories, and colors should be applied to design the interior architecture of each room, in accordance with children’s activities and brain development. Moreover, to promote children’s learning and perception, all relevant graphics, such as animal and tree images, should be designed to stimulate children’s interests, foster a learning atmosphere, and improve recognition skills. Theoretically, brain and emotions are related, and emotions also affect learning. If children are stimulated by their learning environment, it will help to enhance their learning because the learning environment influences the development of children in various aspects, including learning abilities, emotions, feelings, and behaviors.
