BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY:

Classroom facilities are essential components of the learning

environment that impact student academic achievement. The quality of

classroom facilities in schools has been found to have a significant influence on

student performance. The physical environment of the classroom can affect

student motivation, engagement, and academic success. Facilities such as

lighting, seating arrangements, and classroom size can all impact student

learning outcomes.

Amparo High School is a public secondary school located in the

Philippines. The school has a total population of approximately 1,500 students,

with Grade 11 students being the largest group. The school has undergone

several renovations and upgrades over the years, but there is still a need to

assess how these changes have impacted student academic achievement.

Research has shown that classroom facilities can have a significant

impact on student academic achievement. Studies have found that classroom

conditions such as lighting, air quality, and temperature can affect student

motivation and engagement, leading to better learning outcomes. Additionally,

classrooms with adequate resources, such as textbooks and technology, can

enhance student learning and performance.

RELATED RESEARCH LITERATURE:

Introduction:

The quality of classroom facilities plays a crucial role in shaping the learning

environment and directly impacting the academic achievement of students. This

review of related literature aims to explore the existing research and studies that

investigate the impact of classroom facilities on the academic performance of

Grade 11 students at Amparo High School. By examining various aspects of

classroom facilities and their influence on student outcomes, this review seeks

to provide valuable insights into the importance of creating conducive learning

environments.

1.Relationship between Physical Classroom Environment and Academic

Achievement:

Several studies have shown a positive correlation between the physical

classroom environment and students' academic achievement. Factors such as

classroom size, lighting, ventilation, seating arrangement, and overall aesthetics

have been found to significantly influence student learning outcomes. Improved

classroom facilities, including spaciousness, adequate lighting, comfortable

seating, and appropriate temperature control, have been associated with

enhanced student engagement, motivation, and academic performance.

2.Impact of Technology in the Classroom:

The integration of technology within classroom facilities has gained significant

attention in recent years. Studies suggest that access to modern educational

technologies, such as interactive whiteboards, computers, and internet

connectivity, can positively impact student achievement. These technologies

facilitate personalized learning, interactive teaching methods, and access to a

vast array of educational resources. Incorporating technology into classroom

facilities can enhance student engagement, critical thinking skills, and overall

academic performance.

3.Importance of Classroom Resources and Materials:

The availability and quality of instructional resources and materials in

classrooms are essential for student achievement. Adequate textbooks,

supplementary reading materials, science equipment, and other learning

resources contribute to a comprehensive educational experience. Research

indicates that well-equipped classrooms positively affect student engagement,

understanding, and knowledge retention. Furthermore, the presence of

appropriate learning material

s can foster a conducive learning atmosphere and enable teachers to implement

effective instructional strategies.

4.Influence of Classroom Design on Collaboration and Communication:

 Amparo High School

The physical design of classrooms can significantly impact student

collaboration and communication skills. Flexible seating arrangements, group

workstations, and interactive learning spaces promote collaborative learning,

peer interaction, and effective communication among students. Studies have

demonstrated that students in classrooms with well-designed layouts and

arrangements exhibit improved teamwork, problem-solving abilities, and

academic achievement.

5.Impact of Safety and Security Measures:

Ensuring a safe and secure learning environment is crucial for optimal student

performance. Classroom facilities that prioritize safety measures, such as

emergency exits, fire prevention systems, and secure entrances, contribute to

students' overall well-being and enable them to focus on their studies without

unnecessary concerns. Research suggests that students who feel safe in their

classrooms demonstrate better academic outcomes, attendance rates, and

overall engagement in the learning process.

Conclusion:

The reviewed literature highlights the significant impact of classroom facilities

on the academic achievement of Grade 11 students at Amparo High School.

THEORETRICAL FRAMEWORK:

The impact of classroom facilities on the academic achievement of Grade 11

students of Amparo High School can be examined through a theoretical

perspective. One theoretical framework that can be applied to understand this

relationship is the Environmental Psychology theory.

Environmental Psychology focuses on the interplay between individuals and

their physical environment, exploring how environmental factors influence

human behavior and well-being. In the context of the classroom, the theory

suggests that the quality and adequacy of physical facilities can significantly

impact students' academic performance. Here are some theoretical points to

consider:

Environmental Factors: The physical aspects of the classroom, such as lighting,

temperature, seating arrangements, acoustics, and overall design, can affect

students' cognitive processes and concentration. For example, poor lighting or

uncomfortable seating can cause discomfort and distractions, leading to

reduced attention and lower academic achievement.

 Amparo High School

Cognitive Processing: Environmental factors can influence students' cognitive

processing, information retention, and problem-solving abilities. A

well-designed and adequately equipped classroom can create a conducive

learning environment that supports students' cognitive processes, enabling

better information processing, retention, and application.

Motivation and Engagement: The physical environment can impact students'

motivation and engagement levels. A visually appealing and well-organized

classroom, with access to necessary learning resources and technology, can

stimulate students' interest and enthusiasm, enhancing their motivation to learn

and participate actively in class activities.

Classroom Interaction: The physical layout and arrangement of the classroom

can influence social dynamics and classroom interaction. A classroom design

that promotes collaboration, group work, and teacher-student interactions can

facilitate better knowledge sharing, discussion, and peer learning, positively

impacting academic achievement.

Health and Well-being: The physical environment can also impact students'

health and well-being. Factors such as indoor air quality, ventilation, and

cleanliness can influence students' physical comfort and overall well-being. A

healthy and comfortable classroom environment can enhance students' focus

 Amparo High School

and reduce absenteeism due to illness, thereby positively affecting their

academic performance.

Overall, the theoretical perspective of Environmental Psychology suggests that

classroom facilities play a crucial role in shaping students' academic

achievement. By providing an optimal physical environment that supports

cognitive processes, motivation, engagement, and well-being, Amparo High

School can create an atmosphere that promotes learning and facilitates

improved academic outcomes for Grade 11 students.
