ANALYZING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CLASSROOM FACILITIES AND CLASS ENGAGEMENT OF GRADE 12 HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES (HUMSS) STUDENTS AT IMMACULADA CONCEPCION COLLEGE A.Y. 2023–2024

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the relationship between classroom facilities and class engagement. Classroom facilities refer to physical learning elements such as classroom design, seating arrangements, lighting, ventilation, and access to educational materials that impact student motivation. Class engagement includes a student’s interest and participation in the learning process through active involvement, attentiveness, and overall enthusiasm for learning. Previous studies show a positive relationship between classroom facilities and class engagement. However, the connection between the two and their sub variables has not been clearly defined, highlighting the need for further exploration. This descriptive-correlational quantitative research used a researcher-made questionnaire to collect data from respondents. Various statistical tools were applied, with Pearson’s r employed to measure the relationship between classroom facilities and class engagement. The study discovered that, while improving classroom facilities can improve student engagement and attentiveness, they do not significantly boost overall enthusiasm, implying that other factors have a greater influence on student enthusiasm. The significant impact of classroom facilities on engagement highlights the need for educational institutions to invest in well-equipped and comfortable learning environments to enhance academic outcomes.
