Abstract
In an open-plan elementary school, a field study to make better use of sound environment was conducted by collaboration between school teachers and researchers in architecture. For the conservation of sound environment in the open-plan classrooms, workshops were held and handouts for children to understand the manners required to prevent noise problems were produced. Besides, educational practice to take advantage of various room reverberations in the school was suggested and two types of learning program were performed.
