How do we deal with colors in classroom design, taking into account the stage and age of the students, clarifying the suitable colors and their impact on the student’s psychology? Each color has its own beauty, but colors that are red or close to nature are more suitable for classroom color, and not dark colors (such as red and black), which can be used for decoration but are not appropriate to cover the classroom, as they cause stress and depression among students. For example, the entire classroom color with its furniture should not be white, as white is a cold color. At the same time, it is better to choose classroom designs according to the stages, so they can feel the difference in their levels.
This was attended by a group of distinguished teachers and educators participating in the teaching methods course organized by the Teaching Methods Center at the university in coordination with the Duhok Education Directorate.
The seminar highlighted the fundamental concepts of financial literacy, including personal financial planning, principles of saving and investment, as well as managing debts and loans, as part of its efforts to enhance financial awareness and develop financial skills among educational staff.
This scientific activity aims to empower teachers and educators to build solid financial capabilities that positively reflect on their personal and professional lives, contributing to the upbringing of a financially aware generation capable of making sound economic decisions in the future.
