For our first research experience, we wanted to ask a question that could contribute to the improvement of education for future generations. If school architects understood the current research about the influences of color on the brain and learning, it could benefit their designs. Our question focused on our own environment, in hopes that our work could have an impact. These questions may leave you wondering whether our school looks like a painting by Miro – but while gray on the outside, the interior is actually quite colorful. Our personal interactions with color in our environment inspired us to ask more.
Look for background information by exploring the field of research you will be working in and by reading available publications. Ask for guidance from scientists, in particular, about accessing the relevant scientific literature. Indeed, our lack of expertise in the field made it easy to get lost digging into issues of little relevance. Consider reading a few research articles to start. Though it may not be easy, the concepts are much more accessible if you read them step by step.
