"Many elements have been identified within the educational system, among which attention to their aesthetics can enhance learners' enjoyment of learning and place them in a satisfying educational situation. These factors include:
Aesthetics in the teacher's teaching methods: This means that the teacher's instructional approaches should be accompanied by enthusiasm, curiosity, and engagement.
Aesthetics in educational content: This refers to the educational content being characterized by inquiry, innovation, and novelty, as well as having physical beauty, color, and attractive design.
Aesthetics of the learning environment: This means that learners should feel good about being in the classroom and educational space, receiving a sense of calm, respect, and value."
Teaching is the art of inspiring, sharing knowledge, and fostering creativity. It relates to various disciplines, from psychology to linguistics and cultural studies. Aesthetics, as the expression of beauty and harmony, maintains its bright presence in different areas of life, including educational environments. In addition to the mentioned aspects, I would like to add a few more points to present the importance of aesthetics in classroom settings:
1.
The Aesthetics of Mentoring: A teacher should engage in indirect mentoring, enhancing students' self-awareness and helping them better understand their main purpose and direction in life.
2.
The Aesthetics of Independent Learning: As John Dewey suggested, students should be able to continue their studies independently outside of class, learning to find information on their own in addition to what teachers provide.
3.
The Aesthetics of Risk-Taking: A teacher should foster a safe, supportive, and collaborative classroom atmosphere to motivate students to take educational risks. This includes making mistakes, expressing views that differ from the majority, taking active roles in group discussions, and, in cases of failure, not feeling disheartened or diminished.
4.
The Aesthetics of a Value System: A teacher should help develop students' value systems, which consist of moral principles, psychological strength, determination, educational engagement, and intellectual curiosity.
5.
The Aesthetics of Perceiving Beauty: Students should be taught the ability to appreciate beauty—both spiritual and material, internal and external. As Oscar Wilde said, "Beauty is the wonder of wonders." They must be competent in the language of aesthetics to connect with the true essence of things, ideas, and the infinite mystery of the universe.
