AESTHETIC PERCEPTION AND MOTIVATION MODEL FOR FORMAL AND INFORMAL VISUAL ENVIRONMENTS

Researchers claim that aesthetic qualities of Formal Learning Visual
Environments (FL YEs) have a persuasive role in intensifying learning motivation.
Unfortunately, designers seem to overlook the necessity of aesthetic designing of
FL YEs that could sustain Learners' Learning Motivation (LLM). The existing
literature on aesthetic designing of FL YEs primarily focuses upon environment
perspective and users' perspective. The existing studies, however, do not take into
account, Learners' Aesthetic Perceptions (LAPs) in Informal Visual Environments
(!YEs) which may also influence upon LLM. Recent research in this domain suggests
that IVEs are producing learners' with a new profile of cognitive skills, such as
visual-spatial intelligence and enhanced aesthetic perceptions. It is thus argued that
LAPs formed in IVEs may result in establishment of new schemas (set of aesthetic
expectations) and make learners' perceptually selective in judging aesthetics.
