1.0 Introduction
Going back to school, buying new stationaries, and meeting friends and classmates are some of the
most awaited days of many students but since the Covid-19 pandemic cause a huge setback to the education
in many countries in the world that leads to a massive change. Resulting in many schools choosing to
continue the education flow using a modular and online classroom setup.
Finding a proper place where you can study at home is hard considering the different ways how
students can keep themselves focused and comfortable. Not every single student has their own room to adjust
to this new system.
According to the article of Safetyline Jalousie, there is a right placement of window so that there is a
right amount of sunlight coming through that help students to be more focused and not be easily be distracted
by its surrounding.
Many traditional classrooms place windows where the sunlight can go through since based on the
study they conducted the students progress 20% faster when natural light is present. Teachers are dedicated to
preparing their students for adult life. This individual effort is of course very important. But some of them
may be canceled due to issues beyond the control of the teacher. A poorly designed building can play a huge
role in student learning outcomes. Even ventilation and lighting have an effect on a student's success in
school.
Background of the Study
Our Lady of Fatima University- Antipolo Campus is a private university that has undergone an
Online School year due to COVID-19. In addition, all students and teachers are forced to set up their own
school in their own home.

Statement of the Problem
This research has a chief concern regarding the effects of window placement on the academic
performance of Senior High students. To obtain all essential knowledge, data, and information, the research
sought to answer the crucial questions as follows:
1. . How does the window placement affect the student?
2. Does it affect positively or negatively?
3. Does having proper natural light coming through the window can affect the students' performance in
school?
4. Can visible green scenery affect the students' performance in school?
5. Can the quality of air ventilation affect the students’ performance in school?
General Problem:
To determine the effects of different window placement on the academic performance of senior high
students of Our Lady of Fatima University-Antipolo Campus.
Specific Problem:
Specifically, this study aims;
1. To know the possible effects of direct sunlight on student retention and performance during class.
2. To know possible effects of window placement on the mood of students during class.
3. To know the possible effects of scenery that can be seen in the window to the attentiveness of
students during an online class set up.
4. To determine the best window placement that students may refer for an online classroom setup.

10
Scope and Limitation
This study is conducted to know the possible effects of window placement on the academic
performance of senior high students in Our Lady of Fatima University-Antipolo. The respondents were
chosen through a purposive sampling where respondents are selected through the appropriateness to the
objective of the study.
The respondents were chosen through purposive sampling where respondents were selected
through the appropriateness to the objective of the study. The respondents will be composed of senior high
students of OLFU who are currently undergoing an online classroom setup. A questionnaire and a checklist
survey that will analyze how different window placement will affect their academic performance will be
prepared and will be filled up by the respondents. With the help of the checklists, statistical graphs were

2.0 Literature Review
This chapter includes the ideas, finished studies, generalization or conclusions, and others. It is also
composed of related literature from both local and foreign studies which contains facts and information on
the research problem at hand. In this chapter, explanations and logical connections between the previous
researchers and the present work will be provided.
Foeign
Namorin C. et al. (2022) found that the visual appearance of the study room could have an effect on
the academic performance of students. Cultural differences also have an effect on the satisfaction of the
students in their room.
According to the study of Sullivan W. (2016), high school students perform better on tests if they are
in a classroom with a view of a green landscape rather than a windowless room or a room with a view of built
space. The result also shows that students in the room with the green view have a greater physiological
recovery from stress after the break than the other students.
Chen Chen(2014) study about the Impact Of Nature Window View On High School Students Stress
Recovery that aims to know the impact of natural scenery that they can see through windows during class on
the students coping stress. In this thesis, 94 participants were randomly assigned to three different window
view conditions in high school classrooms: 1) nature window view, 2) barren window view, and 3) no
window. Then participants completed the standard Trier Social Stress Test (TSST) to induce stress. . Even
though the participants’ self-reports do not show a statistically significant relationship between the window
view conditions and stress recovery, the two physiological measurements revealed a significant relationship
between window views and stress recovery. The physiological measurements indicated that a natural window
view has the most positive impact on participants’ stress recovery.

14
Mott M. and Robinsons D. (2012) topic “Illuminating the Effects of Dynamic Lighting on Student
Learning” says that how the quality and color of lighting either enhance or impair the students way of
learning. Results shows that light quality can actually help students way of learning.
Local
The study titled “Classroom Climate and Student's Academic Performance of a Public School in
Antique” by Gentova C. & Madrigal D. (2020) shows that the perceptions of student in their learning
environment affect the way they perform in the classroom. And how it determines the correlation between
classroom climate and academic performance of junior high school student. The findings of the study showed
that climate affects the performance of the students depending to their moods.
Ayon A. (2020) stated that color has an effect on academic performance. He found that because of its
high visibility and intense color, the color red has an effect on enhancing cognitive skills and brain function.
According to the study of Sullivan W. (2016), high school students perform better on tests if they are
in a classroom with a view of a green landscape rather than a windowless room or a room with a view of built
space. The result also shows that students in the room with the green view have a greater physiological
recovery from stress after the break than the other students.
According to the study of Herminia N. Falsario, Raul F. Muyong, Jenny S. Nuevaespaña(2014)
entitled Building Better Learning Environments in the Philippines that focused on the relationship between
classroom climate and student’s academic performance. The respondents were the 123 fourth year Bachelor
of Secondary Education and Bachelor of Elementary Education students taking the Teaching Profession.

Theoretical
Framework
Figure 1:
Study Model for Academic
Performance, and Study
Environment on Cognitive
Learning, Parametric
Model, and Color Scheme
Figure 1 Variables
The Variables depicts a model of the relationship between independent variables and
dependent variables, as well as the theoretical context used in the analysis. Academic performance
and study environment are independent variables whereas the correlation of window placement to the
academic performance is the dependent variable. Three hypotheses, cognitive learning, parametric
model, and color scheme, describe each independent variable in this analysis.
Explanation of Adapted Variables
Cognitive Learning Theory
They believe that cognitive learning theory examines how people think (Mayer & Moreno,
2003). Grasp how we learn requires an understanding of mental processes. Learners can be impacted
by both internal and external factors, according to cognitive theory. The cognitive theory implies that
internal thoughts and external forces are both key parts of the cognitive process at its most
fundamental level. Students get more control over their learning and conduct after they grasp how
their thinking affects them.

16
Parametric Model Theory
A well-designed room can be defined psychologically as one that provides individuals with
inspiration and comfort that enhances their lives on a continuous basis, as well as a sense of
rejuvenation and a willingness to communicate with others (Hwang & Lee, 2018). People share
certain taste thus architects and designers should approach this issue through the lens of architectural
or environmental psychology. The value of the parameter defines the space for the model instance at
any given time. Therefore, the parametric model can essentially consider a large number of
alternatives and variations.
Color Scheme Theory
They believe that color scheme theory helps in sending the message behind the design on
both visual and psychological levels (University of British Columbia, 2009). They used different
colors and when compared to blue, red improved performance on detail-oriented activities like
memory retrieval and proofreading by up to 31%. In contrast, when participants were given blue
environmental cues for creative tasks like brainstorming, they produced twice as many creative
outputs as when they were given red color cues.

2.2 Variable Discussion
In this study we will discuss about how window placement affects the academic performance
of student, the researcher respondents will be the SHS student of Our Lady of Fatima Antipolo. Each
person will be given a questionnaire or survey for them to answer based on their observation of how
the factor of window placement affects their academic performance. At the end of the data gathering,
the researcher will perform a statistical method to determine the results
2.3 Conceptual Framework

Atipolo are selected in order to gther data for results. They will be given questionnaire for further
understanding that pertains to how window placement affects the student’s academic performance.
The second part is the process that includes the steps and procedures made by the researchers
in gathering the data or information. The results will be tested, validated, and therefore be proven by
the researchers. The data from the questionnaire was used in obtaining the factors and effects of
window placement.

27
6.0 Conclusion
The researchers conducted a survey to sixty senior high school students from Our Lady of Fatima
University Antipolo to conclude if window placement has an effect on the academic performance of students.
The respondents show different answers, most of them said that it’s neutral while others agreed and
disagreed.
Based on the results, the researchers concluded that most of the informants from Our Lady of
Fatima University Antipolo believes that window placement has no significant effect on their academic
performance. The respondents also disagree that proper natural light coming through the window and visible
green scenery can affect their school productivity but they agreed that the quality of air ventilation can affect
their performance in school.

28
7.0 Recommendation
This is to acknowledged that there are parts in this work that should be addressed. The limits of this
work are one of the areas which the researcher are aware of. The data collection method in this study was set
and not arranged. We recommend that an equal number of people participate. We also advise other
researchers to experiment with different sample methodologies, research instruments, and analysis
approaches.
We also recommend further researchers to take this topic and expand further upon its possibilities.
We believe that there are more variables to be explored about this topic that weren't included in the scope of
this research or were missed by the researchers. We recommend taking time to find those variables and
research them. We also suggest that further researchers explore more on the variable “window placement”
and on its relation to the academic performance of the students as there seems to be a gap.
