Overview:
. In the context of education, learning is a continuous process and learning

environment is one of the most important factors for effective learning to happen within
the classroom setting. The influence of the physical environment is obvious towards
learning outcomes. Rukban (2010) defined learning environment as everything that is
happening in the classroom or department, faculty, or university. Learners are constantly
interacting with the physical environment of their schools during class hours
consciously or unconsciously. Asiyai (2014) asserted that a conducive classroom
physical environment is an agent of intellectual stimulation and important factor in
strengthening the child's educational development. Prayoonwong & Nimnuan (2010)
asserted that understanding how students learn as well as their performances is by focusing on
the learning environment.
The Department of Education emphasizes it desires to promote the right of every

Filipino to quality, equitable, and culture-based, and complete basic education where
students learn in a child-friendly, gender sensitive, safe and motivating environment. It
spells out the importance of the learning environment as well as the roles of teachers,
administrators and stakeholders.
As an academic institution, Camalanda-an National High School, supports the

stated above DepEd goals, and strongly believe that if the physical learning
environment is conducive and ready for learning, the learning processes on the
learners will follow and will become more effective. In line with the physical environment
of improving the school to become a conducive place for learning, environmental
preservation and conservation is also concerned.The protection of environment is a
global issue and it is not an isolated problem of any areas or nation and to protect and
conserve the environment is one of virtues of this academic institution.
