Now, there is a study that confirms: In years of warmer weather than normal, students do not get along on exams. The report of several American universities, including Harvard, shows that there is a significant connection between high temperatures and poor results at school.
Tests conducted over 10 million American high school students over 13 years clearly showed that hot weather has a negative effect on school results. A practical answer to this situation may be according to experts to the use of fresh air conditioning.
Students who took their exams in the summer have long complained that their intense anger did not allow them to concentrate properly. But this is the first time such a relationship is proved scientifically.
The study published by the U.S. Federal Bureau of Economic Research suggests that students had the worst results in their hot and best years.
Researchers have estimated that for any rise in average temperature by 0.55 degrees, there is 1% decline in the ability to learn. The latter was seen as the temperature rose to over 22 degrees Fahrenheit [32 ° C] and was then noticed even more when it exceeded 38 degrees.
