Abstract

The contemporary school yard is an influential element in developing many of the student's mental and emotional perceptions, achieving psychological balance for him and enhancing various aspects of his personality in general and for the student of Industrial Technical Education in particular, due to the values and design criteria it contains that make it the scene of many and varied theoretical and practical activities in which the teacher and the student participate in order to acquire knowledge, skills, behaviors and attitudes that prepare for life, and the school becomes the second home for students. By achieving this, the educational process will become more efficient and distinguished, and it will also necessarily lead to the advancement of traditional industries that depend on the skill and abilities of the student. There are many previous studies that have shown that the reasons for failure to achieve good success are not only due to the student's intelligence level, but rather a number of factors that contribute to reducing the chances of success, the most important of which is the school climate, where the student can learn a lot without feeling it through his presence in a rich educational environment that motivates him to love learning and connect parts to each other and enhances his mental and artistic abilities such as creativity, as creativity is not merely an independent ability or talent, but it is largely linked to the surrounding environment and the balance among these capabilities enables the student to produce creative products with a distinctive skill level, and this is what Social Ergonomic Science, which is based on Psychology, Architecture and Design Arts, is interested in (Raymond, Malouli - 2010).
