Smart School for Secondary School with Sustainable Architecture Approach in Tonekabon

Abstract

The school environment is particularly important because most of the time students spend there falls during the most sensitive period of their personality development. Traditional schools no longer meet students' needs because their educational programs are mostly teacher-centered and do not align with students' talents, abilities, needs, and learning styles, each of which has its own rhythm. For this reason, there is a need for schools that, by having flexible curricula, the possibility of teaching with modern methods, having a wide range of educational programs and methods, and focusing on the role of the student by considering individual differences and paying more attention to their needs, interests and talents, can be effective and useful in eliminating or reducing this educational gap. Smartization of schools is the Ministry of Education's transformational strategy for developing information and communication technology as the most prominent feature of the present era. In fact, in the smartization process, the participation and interaction of school-related elements, namely parents, teachers, and students, and work efficiency in schools are expected to increase. On the other hand, due to the school building's specific potential in relation to the environmental sustainability approach, and also the climate of the northern region, due to its vast resources of renewable energy, a school design has been considered that can have the least impact on the natural environment and the least reliance on fossil fuels.
