Abstract
A child needs a space to stimulate understanding, recognition, and self-efficacy. Educational spaces play a significant role in the development and behavior of children. If these spaces are formed with the aim of promoting self-efficacy and based on the social, emotional and behavioral needs of the child, the child's interaction with the built spaces will be compatible and understandable. Self-efficacy is directly affected by the physical environment in the integration of children's educational spaces. This research has investigated the role of children's educational environment on the self-efficacy of children aged 3 to 6 years. The theoretical propositions of this study have been investigated in the field and survey in 5 samples of preschools in Foladshahr, Isfahan. The research method of this study is combined (qualitative and quantitative) and descriptive-analytical. The map of the educational spaces under study was drawn using Autocad software, and Depth Map software was used to analyze the degree of interdependence of the spaces. The level of children's self-efficacy and the correlation coefficient between the variables were measured using data from a researcher-made questionnaire in the Pressline system through Spss software. The results of the study indicate that educational spaces have spatial interdependence differences and significant effects on children's self-efficacy in the indicators under study.
