Catalyzing Constructed Environment Concept in the New Education Policy 2020: A Conceptual Analysis Based on the Pentagonal Review Matrix

This study aims to explore the concept of the "Constructed Environment (CE)" in the context of course design within the framework of the New Education Policy 2020 (NEP 2020). By synthesizing perspectives from various academic and professional sources, the study emphasizes the significance of the constructed environment, particularly its impact on industries such as tourism. The study seeks to introduce this concept into the educational system, aligning it with the policy reforms set forth in 2020. Utilizing a descriptive methodology, the research outlines two primary objectives: first, to assess the academic relevance of the constructed environment within the context of the NEP 2020, and second, to perform a Pentagonal Review Matrix analysis on CE concepts and institutional research. CE has emerged as an effective model for sustaining and advancing industrial development. It encourages policymakers to adopt conscious strategies and enables constructors to become more competent and adaptive, while also considering tourist psychology. CE's relevance strongly supports its integration into the education system through the NEP 2020. Backed by field data, tourist experiences, academic research, and successful global implementations, CE offers a rational foundation for adoption. It enhances stakeholder awareness, improves performance outcomes, and builds investor confidence by promoting sustainable practices and long-term economic resilience. Furthermore, the study take the opportunity in critically underscoring the potential benefits of incorporating CE concept into the Indian education system, advocating for its role in enhancing the competency and effectiveness of education in comparison to other developed nations. Ultimately, the study highlights the urgency of adopting CE concepts to strengthen the educational landscape.
