“…The overall noise intensity at a school is related to the number of people working in it 23 . In a convergent way, the results described showed a 28% higher proportion of loud noise reports in schools with more than 30 teachers.…”

RESUMO: Objetivo: Estimar a prevalência e os fatores associados à percepção de ruído intenso nas escolas da educação básica no Brasil. Métodos: Estudo transversal com amostra nacional representativa dos professores. A coleta de dados foi realizada com 6.510 professores, de outubro de 2015 a março de 2016. Todos os professores responderam a um questionário via telefone com perguntas referentes à saúde e às condições de trabalho. A medida de associação foi a razão de prevalência (RP), estimada com a regressão de Poisson. Resultados: A prevalência de ruído ocupacional intenso referido foi de 33,0%. Houve associação positiva ao desfecho os relatos de agitação em sala de aula (RP = 3,41; IC95% 3,07 - 3,75), percepção de trabalhar sob alto nível de exigência (RP = 1,33; IC95% 1,22 - 1,45), ter sofrido violência verbal praticada pelos alunos (RP = 1,21; IC95% 1,11 - 1,31), lecionar para diferentes modalidades de ensino (RP = 1,21; IC95% 1,02 - 1,42) e a escola contar com número de professores atuantes superior a 30 (RP = 1,28; IC95% 1,07 - 1,54). Os professores que relataram um ambiente agradável na escola (RP = 0,81; IC95% 0,75 - 0,87), assim como os que atuavam na área censitária rural (RP = 0,84; IC95% 0,75 - 0,95), perceberam menor ruído no trabalho. Conclusão: A prevalência de percepção de ruído intenso nas escolas brasileiras foi elevada e apresentou significância estatística com as características da escola e do trabalho de professores da educação básica. Esses achados demonstram a necessidade de planejamento de políticas públicas que considerem a redução dos níveis de ruído no ambiente escolar.

“…This means that a teacher speaks at a level of at least 70 dB during a good part of the day. This situation causes work-related disorders, such as loss of voice (according to the Spanish Federation of Education Workers, 22% of Spanish teachers suffer voice loss), sore throat, nodules [9,30,32] or even mental fatigue, anger and irascibility [16,18].…”

Acoustic Comfort in Learning Spaces: Moving Towards Sustainable Development Goals

et al. 2019

The association between learning spaces and new pedagogical approaches is a current issue. Research shows that the classical, more silent, master class is being bypassed by student centered methods with participative classes and active methodologies. Major efforts in teacher training are taken to help teachers implement these new approaches in their lessons. The conditions of the learning space are also influential. The following question is raised: Can acoustic comfort facilitate innovation and consequently help in the progress towards SDG? We have focused on public high schools in Spain (IES), in the Valencian Community. Data has been gathered from the visit to thirty high schools. International scientific studies and valid guidelines referring to noise have been reviewed. Findings on the research conclude that acoustic comfort is essential in education and is directly related with the implementation of emerging pedagogies. Likewise, the outcomes of the investigation hope to raise awareness among authorities and civil society that improvement of sound quality in learning spaces facilitates the achievement of sustainable development goals (SDG), particularly those concerning goal 3 (health and wellbeing), goal 4 (quality education) and goal 9 (sustainable infrastructures).

“…Different studies show that noise in the classroom can adversely affect different aspects: a) speech recognition and listening comprehension [32]- [36]; b) concentration [37]; c) vocal health [38]- [44]; d) hearing loss or hearing impairment [31], [45], [46]; e) bad sleep [47]; f) mental fatigue [41], mental health and stress reactions [48]- [50]; g) academic engagement or dropout rates [51]- [53]; h) annoyance, inattentiveness, or task orientation ratings [53].…”

Recent reviews addressing the impact of noise exposure in teaching and learning situations conclude negative effects on learning performance. Providing objective real-time feedback on noise is key for teachers and students to adjust it into suitable levels. This experimental work presents the results from a study exploring the visual feedback based on noise level and the impact on students' (n = 198) perceived learning performance collected in 24 sessions. The results suggest persuasive effects of the ambient display on the groups and an improvement of noise awareness in students. Measurements of perceived learningperformance, and perceived noise were collected and correlated with the objective noise samples concluding poorer perceived learning performance in noisiest groups. Finally, implications for further research as well as lessons learned to moderate noise levels in classrooms using ambient displays are discussed.
