CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

This chapter includes the background of the study,conceptual

framework,statement of the problem,hypothesis,scope and limitations
significance of the study and definition of terms.

Background of the Study

The classroom environment plays a significant role In the level of

student engagement and academic success. A comfortable and conducive
learning environment encourages students to be more engaged, attentive,
and likely to participate in meaningful discussions. Student engagement is
closely linked to their attitudes and perceptions, and a well-structured
classroom environment can meet their learning needs (Brackett, 2012).
Examining the classroom environment allows educational stakeholders to
identify ways to create effective learning spaces that foster student
achievement.

Academic performance is a crucial aspect of a student’s educational

journey, as it measures the extent to which they have achieved their short or
long-term educational goals. In senior high schools, a student’s academic
standing determines their graduation or progression to the next grade level.
The quality of instruction that prospective teachers impart to children at the
basic and secondary school levels is also based on their performance
(Tadese, 2022). Several variables can influence academic success, including
the classroom learning environment.

This phenomenon calls for a comprehensive investigation into the

impact of the classroom learning environment on students’ academic
performance. Understanding the effects of the classroom environment on
academic performance will help identify areas that need attention and
provide recommendations for improving academic performance in the study
area of DIHS.

This research study aims to explore the relationship between the

physical classroom learning environment and student academic
performance, with student engagement serving as an intervening variable.
The physical classroom learning environment includes factors such as
lighting, temperature, noise level, air quality, and classroom resources.
Student academic performance, the dependent variable, will be measured
using standardized tests, grades, and other assessments. Student
engagement, which can be defined as a student's level of interest,
motivation, and involvement in learning activities, will be measured using
self-reported surveys or observations of student behavior in the classroom.

Statement of The Problem

 DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION | REGION IV – A CALABARZON | CITY SCHOOLS DIVISION OF DASMARIÑAS

DASMARIÑAS INTEGRATED HIGH SCHOOL

This study generally aims to determine the impact of classroom

learning environment on the Academic Performance of the respondents.

1. What is the demographic profile of the respondents as to:

 Sex
 Section
 Age
 GWA for the first semester

2. Does the classroom environments below does have an impact the

academic performance of the respondents?

 Noisy Room
 Dirty Room
 Congested Room

3.What positive or negative impact does this learning environments bring

on the academic performance of the respondents?

Hypothesis

Alternative Hypothesis (H1): There is a significant relationship between

the physical classroom learning environment and student academic
performance, with student engagement as an intervening variable.
Specifically, a positive physical learning environment will lead to higher levels
of student engagement, which in turn will result in improved academic
performance.

Null Hypothesis (H0): There is no significant relationship between the

physical classroom learning environment and student academic
performance, with student engagement as an intervening variable. The
physical learning environment does not affect student engagement, which in
turn does not impact academic performance.

Scope and Limitations of the Study

 DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION | REGION IV – A CALABARZON | CITY SCHOOLS DIVISION OF DASMARIÑAS

DASMARIÑAS INTEGRATED HIGH SCHOOL

Congressional South Avenue, Burol 1, City of Dasmariñas, Cavite

This study focuses on the impact of classroom learning environment on

the academic performance of Senior High School students in Dasmariñas
Integrated High School (DIHS) for the school year 2022-2023. The study will
only collect data from selected students who will represent the population of
the school. This study will not cover other factors that may impact academic
performance such as socio-economic status, family background, and other
personal factors.

The limitations of the scope include the possibility of sampling bias since
the study only focuses on a specific school and population. Additionally, the
study only covers a single school year, and the results may not be applicable
to other school years or institutions. Finally, while the study aims to explore
the impact of classroom learning environments on academic performance, it
cannot establish causality due to the limitations of the research design.
These limitations should be acknowledged to ensure that the findings are
interpreted within their context and limitations.

Significance of The Study

This study will be beneficial to the following:

The Students - The results of this study can be of great help for
students to address different issues that affects their academic performance.
It will help to shape them even more as learners and improve their learning
attainment.

School Administrators – The results based on data gathered can be

used to develop a program or intervention that can help address the
problems and make improvements on the classroom learning environment
that affects the academic performance of students.

Future Researchers – They can use this study as a guide or basis for
the possible Research with the same topic.

Academic Performance. It is the measurement of student achievement

across various academic subjects.

Learning Environment. A space in which students feel safe and

supported in their pursuit of knowledge, as well as inspired by their
surroundings.

Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMSS). strand offered to senior high

school students under the Academics Track. It is designed for students who
intend to take up journalism, communication arts, liberal arts, education, and
other social-science related courses in college.

Dasmariñas Integrated High School (DIHS). It is the place where the

study is conducted.

School Administrators. They are the ones responsible for providing

instructional leadership and developing, implementing, and evaluating district
and school systems and policies.

General Weighted Average(GWA). A statistical measure used to

determine the average value of a set of data with different weightings
assigned to each data point. The weights represent the relative importance
or significance of each data point in the overall calculation of the mean. The
GWA is commonly used in academic settings to calculate the average
grades of students in a course, with the weight of each grade being
determined by the number of units or credits assigned to the corresponding
course.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

This chapter presents a comprehensive review of related literature that

is relevant to the study. The review covers both local and foreign studies that
are aligned with the research objectives. The purpose of this chapter is to
provide a systematic and critical analysis of existing literature on the topic to
identify gaps, inconsistencies, and areas for further research. The review will
be organized thematically, focusing on the key concepts and variables of the
study.

Local Studies
One local study conducted by Santos (2018) examined the impact of
classroom design on student engagement and achievement. The study found
that classroom design significantly affects student learning outcomes and
engagement. This is consistent with the findings of Brackett (2012) who also
investigated the relationship between classroom environment and student
engagement.Another study by Garcia (2019) explored the relationship
between teacher-student interaction and academic performance. The study
found that positive teacher-student interaction has a significant impact on
academic performance. This highlights the importance of fostering positive
relationships between teachers and students in creating a conducive learning
environment.

Furthermore, a study by Lim (2017) focused on the impact of school

facilities on academic performance. The study found that school facilities
significantly affect student academic performance. This highlights the
importance of investing in school infrastructure to create a conducive
learning environment.

Foreign Studies
According to Wang and Guo (2017), the physical classroom environment
plays a significant role in students' academic achievement. They found that
classrooms that were well-lit, quiet, and well-ventilated had a positive impact
on students' academic performance. In addition, a study by Sallis et al.
(2018) showed that classroom design that promotes physical activity and
movement can lead to improved academic performance.Similarly, a study by
Weinstein et al. (2018) found that classroom design that promotes
collaboration and interaction among students can lead to increased
engagement and academic success. These findings were supported by the
study of Kennedy et al. (2017) who found that a classroom environment that
promotes social interaction and collaboration is positively associated with
academic performance. Moreover, the study of Conzemius and O’Neill
(2018) highlighted the importance of classroom management practices that
promote a positive and supportive learning environment for students, which
can lead to improved academic achievement. The study of Phan et al. (2019)
further emphasized the importance of creating a positive classroom learning
environment through teacher-student relationships and communication.
Other studies have shown that classroom design that incorporates
technology can lead to improved academic performance (Cripps et al., 2017;
Farajollahi et al., 2018). Overall, these foreign literature and studies highlight
the importance of the classroom learning environment and how it can impact
students' academic performance.
