It emphasizes a holistic approach, advocating for environments that support emotional, psychological, and physical well-being. This presentation will culminate with the introduction of the NASAT framework, which provides a comprehensive model for creating learning spaces that foster natural interaction, activity, social support, and balanced technological engagement, all aimed at enhancing the educational experience.
