A Study on the Analysis of Environment Status and Improvement of the Care Class in Elementary School

The purpose of this study is to investigate and analyze the reality and issues of elementary school care class facilities and indoor environment, which are closely related to the lives and health of elementary school students, and therefore consider a basic roadmap to develop a safe and comfortable elementary school care class environment and methods with which to improve the effectiveness of the facilities and indoor environment. To this end, we determined the background, contents, and major characteristics of the domestic elementary school care class policy. In addition, we analyzed both domestic and overseas literature in order to identify the key elements that constitute care class facilities and indoor environment. Afterwards, we conducted a case study of elementary school care classes in order to examine the key issues with the environment of care classes, the causes of these issues and use demand.
