EVALUATING THE IMPACT OF THE ENVIRONMENT ON STUDENTS ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE

Abstract

The relationship between the environment and students' academic performance is a topic of significant interest in educational research due to its potential to influence learning outcomes significantly. A well-rounded understanding of how various environmental factors influence learning can inform the development of effective strategies to enhance educational experiences and outcomes. This study evaluates the impact of different environmental factors—classroom environment, home environment, and school facilities—on students' academic performance.

The classroom environment is a fundamental component of the educational setting and plays a critical role in shaping students' academic experiences (Khalfaoui, et al. 2021). Several elements within the classroom environment can affect learning outcomes, including physical aspects such as seating arrangements, lighting, noise levels, and the social dynamics between teachers and students. A well-structured and organized classroom can foster a conducive learning atmosphere that minimizes distractions and maximizes engagement. For instance, appropriate lighting and comfortable seating can reduce physical strain and improve concentration, while a quiet environment can minimize disruptions and help maintain focus on academic tasks.
