A REPORT ON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
A better understand aggregate patterns in the way
elementary school students are assigned to classes, the
lowest school giving formal instruction, teaching the
rudiments of learning, and extending usually from six to
twelve years is known as Elementary school . It’s vary
,there is an increasing recognition that children learn
differently, that collaborative teaching across
disciplines is an increasing necessity. We conduct a
careful analysis of observed classroom assignment
outcome in the 5th grade in north Carolina elementary
schools. These findings have important implications for
researchers. Finally, we find that classroom assignment
patterns are generally stable across the racial, income
and geographic characteristics of schools.

5. REFERENCE 92
7. The Byzantine Empire had an established
schooling system beginning at the
primary level. The concept of grouping
students together in a centralized
location for learning has existed since
Classical antiquity. Formal schools have
existed at least since ancient Greece ,
ancient Rome , ancient India (see
Gurukul), and ancient China.
Islam was another culture that
modern sense of the
developed a school system in the
word. At first,
mosques combined both religious
performance and learning activities, but
by the 9th century, the madrassa was
introduced, a school that was built
independently from the mosque, such as
al-Qarawiyyin , founded in 859 CE. They
were also the first to make the Madrassa
system a public domain under the
control of the Caliph.
Under the British rule in India, Christian
missionaries from England, USA and
other countries established missionary
and boarding schools throughout the
country. Later as these schools gained
in popularity, more were started and
some gained prestige. These schools
marked the beginning of modern
schooling in India and the syllabus and
calendar they followed became the
benchmark for schools in modern India.
Today most of the schools follow the
missionary school model in terms of
tutoring, subject / syllabus, governance
etc. with minor changes. Schools in
India range from schools with large
campuses with thousands of students
and hefty fees to schools where
children are taught under a tree with a
small / no campus and are totally free
of cost. There are various boards of
schools in India, namely Central Board
for Secondary Education (CBSE),
Council for the Indian School Certificate
Examinations (CISCE), Madrasa Boards
of various states, Matriculation Boards of
various states, State Boards of various
boards, Anglo Indian Board, and so on.
The typical syllabus today includes
Language(s), Mathematics, Science —
Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Geography,
History, General Knowledge,
Information Technology / Computer
Science etc.. Extra curricular activities
include physical education / sports and
cultural activities like music,
choreography, painting, theater /
drama etc.
In ancient India, schools were in the form
of Gurukuls. Gurukuls were traditional
Hindu residential schools of learning;
typically the teacher's house or a
monastery. During the Mughal rule,
Madrasahs were introduced in India to
educate the children of Muslim parents.
British records show that indigenous
education was widespread in the 18th
century, with a school for every temple,
mosque or village in most regions of the
country. The subjects taught included
Reading, Writing, Arithmetic, Theology,
Law, Astronomy, Metaphysics, Ethics,
Medical Science and Religion.

1.4 SCHOOLING AT DIFFERENT STAGES?
01.NURSERYSCHOOLS:
Nursery schools are stand-alone schools
for children aged three and four. They
have their own head teacher and staff.
Some are state-funded, others are
privately run (though your child might be
eligible for a free part-time
place).Nursery classes are attached to
primary schools. They may have a
separate building and playground away
from the main school but share
02.PRIMARY SCHOOLS:
P r i m a r y s c h o o l s cater for children
aged 4-11. While at
children start with the
primary school,
Early Years
(Foundation) curriculum, followed by Key
Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 of the National
Curriculum.
03.SECONDARY SCHOOLS:
S e c o n d a r y schools cater for children
aged 11-16 or 18. They take pupils through
Key Stages 3 and 4 of the National
Curriculum. Sixth form colleges cater for
young people aged 16-19. Students study
for A levels and other qualifications that
you can do after the age of 16, eg BTEC
National Certificates.
10. Elementary school is a school for students in their first
school years, where they get primary education before
they enter secondary education. The exact ages vary
by country. In the United States, elementary schools
usually have 6 grades with pupils aged between 6 and
13 years old, but the age can be up to 10 or 14 years
old as well. .
In Japan, the age of pupils in elementary school
ranges from 6 to 12, after which the pupils enter junior
high School. Elementary school is usually only one
part of compulsory educational especially in Western
countries

11. 1.6 HISTORY OF AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL?
Elementary schools were the first schools in
England which were funded by taxation.
They operated between 1870 and 1944 and
provided an education for children between
the ages of 5 and 14. In some areas older
children were educated in separate 'higher
elementary schools', which were ruled un-
permissible by the cockerto judgement1899
and regularized by the 1902 education act.
Many of these schools converted to primary
schools after 1944. Elementary schools in
japan were first established by 1875.

ensure the broad-based development of
pupils. This means ensuring that all pupils
are able to develop their cognitive, social,
emotional, cultural and physical skills to the
best of their abilities, preparing them for
their further school career.

13. 1.9 THE ROLE OF THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
Elementaryschoolstudents'developmental needs
The elementary years are a time when students begin to develop their academic self-
Concept and their feelings of competence and confidence as learners. They are beginning
to develop decision-making, communication and life skills, as well as character values. It is
also a time when students develop and acquire attitudes toward school, self, peers,
social groups and family. Comprehensive developmental school counseling programs
provide education, prevention and intervention services, which are integrated into all
aspects of children's lives. Early identification and intervention of children's academic
and personal/social needs is essential in removing barriers to learning and in promoting
academic achievement. The knowledge, attitudes and skills that students acquire in the
areas of academic, career and personal/social development during these elementary
years serve as the foundation for future success.

Learning environment can refer to an
educational approach, cultural
context, or physical setting in which
teaching and learning occur.
Learning environments are highly
diverse in use, learning styles,
organization, and educational
institution. The culture and context of
a place or organization includes such
factors as a way of thinking,
behaving, or working, also known
as organizational culture. The

17. Classroom ventilation rates often
do not meet building standards,
although it is considered to be
important to improve indoor air
quality. Poor indoor air quality is
thought to influence both children’s
health and performance. Children
spend much of their time in
schools; it is the indoor
environment where they spend
most of their time besides in their
home. It is therefore important that
schools have a good indoor air
quality.
2.3 IMPORTANCE OF VENTILATION
A REPORT ON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
15
Ventilation is the
intentional introduction
of outdoor air into a
space and is mainly
used to control indoor air
quality by diluting and
displacing indoor
pollutants; it can also be
used for purposes
of thermal comfort or
dehumidification.
2.4 PURPOSE OF THE
VENTILATION SYSTEM
18. 2.5 Natural Ventilation
Ventilation where possible should be
natural ventilation by means of
permanent wall vents and windows
with opening sections. In determining
the way in which a room is ventilated
the design team should also consider
performance and comfort levels,
acoustic factors, safety, ease of
operation and maintenance factors
along with Running costs. The
ventilation through permanent vents
and opening sashes shall exceed the
current building regulation guidelines,
and shall be designed to suit the
class environment having regard to
the high levels of occupancy

2.5.2 SEASONAL WIND CIRCULATION
21. 2.6 THE BUILDING ENVIRONMENT
Basically , thermal comfort in a building is achieved by
maintaining temperature, humidity, air movement and human
activity conditions within a certain range. Space heating
and/or cooling loads, which are required to maintain this
comfort, to some extent, depend on the building’s quality itself
to modify the Eternal conditions the and how far the outdoor
conditions are from acceptable range.
Orientation:
solar heat is the main source to warm the surface of the
whole Earth and every single building anywhere in the world.
Building layout:
links to the building shape, which heavily affects the heat
gains and losses, as the exchange between the outside and
the envelope is directly proportional to the surfacearea.
Windows:
the larger the windows the more the solar gain and the
greater the het loss.
Air quality:
Air quality has become increasingly important nowadays due
to several factors: constant internal conditions, limited fresh
air, absence of daylight and universal use of carpets. They
provide an ideal environment for house mites to damage the
air quality of aroom.

22. Research in the use of light in schools has shown that cool-white fluorescent bulbs, (which are
used in virtually all classrooms) cause: bodily stress, anxiety, hyper-activity, attention problems and
other distress leading to poor learning performance. Many types of fluorescent bulbs have become
the standard by which schools operate lighting. Fluorescent tubes and other lighting that is used in
schools.

23. Lighting is a dominant factor in
the brain's ability to focus.
Studies show that learners in
brightly lit environments got
higher grades than those in
dimly lit classrooms. And full-
spectrum lighting (like
natural light) works best to
improve behavior, create less
anxiety and stress, and
improve overall health.

24. The impact of color is often overlooked, color is an inseparable part of our
everyday lives. It’s inherent in everything we see and do and studies indicate
that it plays a role in emotion, productivity, communication and learning.
Classrooms are used for a variety of purposes, but the main intent is active
learning. For this reason color in a classroom environment should maximize
information retention and stimulate participation. Overstimulation is often
cause by large amounts of bright colors, especially reds and oranges.
Calmness, relaxation, happiness and comfort are feelings elicited by colors
such as green and blue.

enjoyable in its own right, participation in cultural activities, also gives young
people the chance to develop important life skills such as creativity,
confidence, self discipline, effective communication and the ability to work in
teams. It widens horizons and can add another dimension to life

Much has been written about the potential impact of information technology on the organization
of learning and the implications of the increasing use of computer-mediated activities for the role
of the teacher, note that a good deal of the work on the future of teaching and learning is written
from a technological stance, perhaps because technological developments are often seen as
the most obvious and most visible manifestations of change in this context. The authors argue that
the use of ICT will bring increased flexibility in teaching and learning in the future. Pedagogical
innovation demands a space that enables exploration by both teacher and student.

It is imperative for schools to have the latest and high
quality science lab supplies these days. Science is
different from any other subject. In order to understand
its concepts, one has to look beyond the books and
conventional classroom teaching. Effective teaching and
learning of science involves seeing, handling, and
manipulating real objects and materials. The knowledge
that kids attain in classrooms would be ineffectual unless
they actually observe the process and understand the
relationship between action and reaction.

This school project is a thesis project
done by a student from BUET named
Mukimul Islam Khan
Site and Existing Problem(s): A
1.5 acre of land for school site in
Pallabi Dhaka, Total number of student
is 1500 (Pre-class to class- XII). The
population of Pallabi is almost
412217 with an area
25.28 sq.km and this number is
increasing because of housing and new
development of residential area where
single or two storied buildings are
transforming into six to ten storied
buildings. Studying psychological
pattern of various age groups different
types of crisis came up. As children of
preschool to STD 2 takes initiative to
explore the world by making toys, arts
with raw materials. Immediate senior
students than them from std 2 – 6
participate in exploration with a
competence and students from std 7 –
12 works more with leadership, moral
values, ethics and control. In the event
if they are not given legitimate
environment then they
may experience some negative effects,
for example, guilt, inferiority, confusion
etc. This might cause the end of a
blooming flower.

49. The students’ approach
regarding the project
Different case studies of children from
different income group deliberately
explains their leisure activities,
requirements and imaginations about
their school’s outdoor spaces
which influenced the design part too.
Here we become more acquainted
with primary level which needs their
own particular spaces for exploration,
secondary level is more hopeful about
utilizing the materials around us,
besides they go on experiments and
higher secondary level goes isolated, as
they request space of their own, for
being more objective about
exploration of morals.

for primary school, Secondary school and Higher-secondary school. First, the primary
School. The interaction between cluster 1(Pre Class to class-2) with cluster 2(Class 3-

57. From the architect. The Dutch foundation
Pani commissioned SchilderScholte
architects to design an educational building in
the north Bengal town of Rajarhat. The
architects couple embraced this pro bono
assignment coming from ideological motives and
knowledge sharing. The building serves as a
community centre
During the design process attention was mainly focused on locally available materials
and weather conditions. The starting point was to realize a building using materials and
skills from within a 15 miles radius around the site. Bamboo, hand- shaped brick, Mango
wood, reused steel, local mortar and wafer-thin recycled corrugated panels are the
main materials used in the building. The drive was to encourage locals to become aware
on the basic principles of sustainability and durable building concepts. In effect close to
zero electricity or fossil fuels were used during construction and other necessities
required for erecting this building. Thus realizing an environmentally friendly building that
contributes to the community in a significant way. The plan (79x105 ft) is East-West
oriented and consists of two volumes under a large bamboo roof
Pani Community Centre

58. The classrooms and lavatories are positioned on the South side and on the North side
we find the workshop with store. Two sight lines traverse the building in all four directions.
The lifting of the roof high above the volumes has achieved a considerable reduction of heat
build up within the spaces. Further cooling is provided by cross ventilation, surrounding
vegetation and the nearby pond. With the completion of this striking design the architects
have proved that conventional local resources and materials can be used to build successful
environmentally friendly The composition of volumes housed under one big U-shaped roof
creates interspaces that are open for public use. There is no architectural loss. On the ground
floor there is a covered plaza with adjacent collective lavatories. At first level, on top of the
workshop, there is a freely accessible assembly floor for public meetings. This part of the
building is connected by a footbridge coming from the classrooms. Although bamboo is seen
as an inferior material in the region, the architects have chosen to make the whole roof
construction out of it. Even the walls and French doors of the workshop are cladded with it!
Thus being a reference to the bamboo bicycle frames that are made here. The final assembly
of the bikes take place at the backside under the roof. The front of the workshop faces the
main road and houses the bicycle shop.
A REPORT ON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

61. From a bioclimatic point of view the orientation of the building allows to emphasize the
natural cross ventilation, which prevents costs with electric fans. The roof of the building is
suspended to both sides (East and West) providing shade, protecting the biggest openings
against rain and collecting rainwater into the courtyard. The concept is to combine and
optimize local techniques with local materials. For this the strategy is to participate
in the evolution and modernization of the local construction processes without a
rupture in the ‘’know how’’ofthepopulation.
In the North of Bangladesh buildings are almost all constructed with bricks in
combination with corrugated panels, so we propose also the use of bricks but in an
optimized and locally unknow brickwork bond that doesn’t require whole-brick walls for
stability, minimizing the costs and maintaining the main advantage, the use of local
materials and craftsmanship. U- shaped brick columns support the South facade of the
building, thus creating a row of small vertical windows. Ultimately, this can be understood
as a single stone wall,a great saving on construction costs, time andlabor.
The dimensions are chosen with great care, in such a way that direct sunlight into the
classrooms is minimized still providing in optimal daylight illumination. Also the use of
nearby ponds for natural draft to cool the classrooms was taken into account in the
design. The techniques use for this project are also very easy to learn and diffused by the
main contractor, which will contribute to the local construction modernization. This
application of local bricks is less expensive and reduces the use of construction wood by
combining bamboo with thin concrete floors. This minimizes the shortage of wood in
Bangladesh as well future maintenance costs.

63. Context: Bangladesh is a fertile alluvial land in the Gulf of Bengal and the land with the
highest population density in the world. Construction techniques are error-prone and
many buildings lack foundations and damp proof coursing. Such buildings require regular
maintenance, are often prone to damage and last on average only 10 years.

64. .
The construction method used is a
historical earth building technique
similar to cob-walling which is ideal for
‘self building’.
Earth construction: the most
important technical improvement in
comparison to traditional buildings is
the introduction of a damp proof
course and a brick foundation. the
traditional building technique (which
uses very wet earth) has been
replaced by the ‘weller’ technique
that is quite similar to the traditional
one.
Building construction and
techniques
the school building was built by experts
and volunteers from Germany and
Austria along
with craftsmen, teachers, parents and
students from Bangladesh over the
period of
September to December 2005
The wet earth is mixed with straw
and applied to the wall in layers.
Each layer is approximately 50-70
cm high, and after a couple of days
drying , it is trimmed on the sides
with a sharp spade to obtain a
regular flat wall surface.
After a second drying period, a
further layer can be added. the
earth in this region is well-suited for
such construction and the stability
of the mixture was improved by
adding rice, straw and jute. the aim of the project is to improve
existing building techniques, to
contribute to
sustainability by utilizing local materials
and labor and to strengthen regional
identity.

organization that is a NGO (non-
governmental organization). This
is a charity institute that has
managed to provide the students
with a different educational
atmosphere based on the latest
methods in the world at no

education, the classical form of
schools and the educational
system comes into mind. Most of
the people believe that serious
learning only takes place at that
classical system. Some others
believe that learning can take
place anywhere! There is no
single answer to the question of
what Education is, yet we can
consider the ultimate purpose of
education. Noor e mobin

emphasized the freedom of
students by providing open
educational space and a
distinctive educational system.

site is located in a 20 hectares area, an
outlying district of Bastaam, in Semnan
Province.
The site has a
comprehensive plan
including different
functions that come
together to shape Noor

school, we came to face
a program, which is
different from the
schools we have
experienced and seen so
far; a distinct
educational structure;
another experience of
building invisibility and

82. From the architect. “The brief called for
us to design a franchise for a popular
north Indian school chain called Delhi
Public School. Since the model was to be
potentially replicated across several
schools in South India, we were asked to
create a simple and cost effective
language that could be adapted easily to
different site conditions and slightly
varying programs.“While the overall
master plan currently under
construction comprises a kindergarten,
junior, middle and senior school block
that will eventually cater to 4000
children; the current kindergarten facility
has 25 classrooms, and with 40 children
a class, a total strength of 1000. The
corrugated sheets also gave us the
opportunity to play with pattern and use
tropical colours typical of the vernacular
architecture of the region. Other
contextual references are in the
vernacular terracotta jaalis (shading and
ventilation screens used traditionally in
India) that wrap around parts of the
building and are included on both sides
of each classroom to facilitate adequate
cross ventilation from NE to SW. The
jaalis cut down the sun especially on the
western face of the building where we
have effectively used them in breakout
areas.
The central linear open-to –sky court
that runs the entire length of the
building is the soul of the school and
facilitates learning outside the

89. This nursery school in Sakura, Chiba
was planned to accommodate 60
pupils. Seiyu-Kai, a local social welfare
firm specializing in elderly care facilities
approached us for this project. The
overarching concept for this plan
started with an idea: “a nursery school
is a large house.” Surrounded by
mountains and forest, the southern
area of the site rests on a gentle slope.
Putting this topography to use, we
designed the school room to resemble
a large set of stairs.
A REPORT ON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
87
90. One unique feature of this “large
house,” for example, is that a 3-year old
child is in the same room as a 5-year old
and these children of different ages can
interact in the wide, one-room space.
Additionally, should a 3 year-old child
be sleeping while a 5 year old child
plays nearby, these differences in
rhythm reinforce the "domestic"
qualities of this "large house." Keeping
in line with Seiyu-kai's longstanding (26-
year) philosophy, we made it a priority
to minimize the number of blind-spots
within the room in order to keep safety
measures as uninstructive as possible
Utilizing large sliding window frames
along the northern and southern faces,
along with the space created by the
slope, ventilation is created as a breeze
draws in from the south of the
structure, passes through the forest-like
interior pillars making its way upwards
before finally blowing out across the
terrace on the northern side. A small
pond on the southern end which
gathers rainwater as well as water from
sprinklers installed on the southward-
slanted roof also contributes to the
airflow as the water is absorbed into
the wind that blows into the structure.
This was part of a comprehensive plan
to create a space that was inseparable
from the
environment that surrounds it. We
believe that in pursuing the original
concept of a “nursery school as a large
house” we achieved something not
unlike the houses in farming
communities that surroundit.

Elementary school is an exciting period of reform. Technological advances and
improved knowledge about how children learn are being infused into the curriculum
and instructional practices and governance of elementary schools continues in the
same historical tradition. Education and policy-makers throughout the world are
grappling with the determination of the skills and knowledge necessary for effective
citizenship in the twenty-first century.
