ON-SITE ACOUSTIC QUALITY DISTURBANCE ON EDUCATION & COGNITION : A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW

Abstract

Reverberation or Echo can disrupt desired sound conditions in a specific location, adversely affecting educational activities and cognitive processes of individuals present in that environment. It can impede learning, concentration, comprehension, and other cognitive functions. The objective of this study is to assess the current understanding of addressing reverberation issues in training rooms and establish an optimal learning environment for learners. Extensive research will be conducted to analyze the acoustics of existing training rooms, identify factors causing reverberation, and develop innovative solutions to minimize its negative effects. The project's outcomes will not only resolve the immediate reverberation problem in the chosen training room but also serve as a model for other training and educational institutions facing similar challenges. By implementing the proposed solutions and adhering to established standards, a superior learning environment can be attained. This will enhance speech clarity, optimize ambient noise levels, and ultimately improve overall educational outcomes. The project's findings will contribute to establishing a benchmark for creating conducive learning environments.
