The designated learning environment for autism is unique and should consider sensory issues to overcome their needs. The purpose of this paper is to review related articles to gain a better understanding of autism needs regarding sensory design, sensory issues, sensory space, internal environment, and physical learning environment. This paper will outline the sensory design of the physical learning environment that would impact the sensory design towards the physical learning environment. This research paper concludes to be a guide for the designer to overcome sensory input so that autistic can learn more efficiently and develop with less stress.Keywords: Autism; sensory design; sensory issues; physical learning environmenteISSN: 2398-4295 © 2019.

This paper is to determine the sequela of smartphone usage in the learning environment among school students in Malaysia. The sample size of the study was 150 (n=150). The result demonstrated that smartphone usage increases sympathetic education, understudy commitment, and the upgrade of the student's intellectual limit as well as an inspired concentration in both formal and casual settings. Also, self-governance and certainty assisted with the advancement of customized learning in helping low-accomplishing students to achieve academic excellence. The suggestions confirmed that smartphone usage in the classroom brings about a compelling and legitimate procedure in the learning environment.Keywords: Smartphone Usage; Learning Environment, Student EngagementeISSN: 2514-7528 © 2020 The Authors.

Outdoor recreation gives different project benefits likes gear rental and outdoor exercises. Safety awareness is related to outdoor recreation activities such as climbing and hiking. The objective was divided into three aspects, the relationship between personality and responsible behavior, the relationship between personality and attitudes, and the relationship between safety awareness attitudes and responsible behavior among climbers. This study used a quantitative method that involved 378 climbers of four mountains in Malaysia. The finding indicated that responsible behavior influences personality and a personality influences attitude. It is showed that there was a significant relationship among the climbers.Keywords: safety awareness; personality; attitudes; responsible behavioreISSN: 2398-4287 © 2020. The Authors.

The objective of this paper is to determine the influence of smartphone usage among secondary school students. The sample size of the study was 150 students. The findings showed that smartphone usage increases compassionate teaching with significant student engagement through the enhancement of the learner's cognitive capacity, motivation to study in both formal and informal settings, autonomy and confidence, as well as the promotion of personalized learning in helping low-achieving students to reach their academic performance goals. The implications verified that implementing smartphone usage in the classroom will result in an effective and proper process in the learning environment.Keywords: Humanizing technology; Smartphone Usage; Learning Environment; Student EngagementeISSN: 2398-4287 © 2020.

The Impact

Preschool physical environments significantly affect children behavior and development. Efforts by the Malaysian Government to improve the quality of preschool education shows a lack of emphasis on the physical learning environment - despite overall improvements, school readiness remains moderate. In Malaysia, the impact of preschool physical learning environments on children’s school readiness is still unclear; thus, this paper aims to investigate, highlight and conclude a clear theoretical relationship between these two aspects through literature review. Findings are hoped to lay the groundworks for future research into this matter to improve preschool education in Malaysia.Keywords: Malaysian preschool education; Physical learning environment; Children school readiness; Children developmenteISSN 2398-4279 © 2018.

Sensory Design

Autism is a lifelong handicap that affects their social skills, repetitive behaviors, speech, and nonverbal communication, as well as by unique strengths and differences. Knowing them as a unique person, designated learning environment should consider the sensory issues to overcome their needs. However, designers are lack of awareness in terms of sensory design during their design stage. The objective is to identify the sensory design of the classroom environment, while the paper aims to develop the Design Criteria Checklist of sensory design for Autism Centre. The result of the study highlighted factors that relate to the quality physical learning environment.Keywords: Autism; sensory design, physical learning environment; design criteria checklist;eISSN 2398-4295 © 2018.

This study provides insight into the role of experience in facilitating conceptualisation process to enable students to harness relevant problems-solving skills. One of the key strategies of the current study is to analyse how students transform their ideas from abstract to physical form through the conceptualisation process within the studio learning environment. Two aspects were considered (1) the factors that influence the student's actions in designing, and (2) the role of critique in stimulating the student's conceptual design towards final design stage. Evidences were gathered from students' dynamic cognitive interactions with knowledge and experience as transpired through the studio environment.Keywords: Conceptualisation, conceptual design process, reflective knowledgeeISSN 2398-4295 © 2018.
