Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Different studies were made about education. In this study, we assess the learning environment and its relationship to the pupils' academic achievement and were validated by school heads and grade three teachers.

METHODS

This study used a descriptive survey and correlation research design method. The respondents of the study were the 20school heads and 65 teachers. The subjects were 741 pupils from selected schools in Silang I and Silang II. The questionnaire was the main instrument used in the study. Weighted mean, mean, standard deviation, ranking, frequency, count and percentage, and chi-square were the statistical tools used to analyze the gathered data.

RESULTS

The school heads perceived that there was an inadequacy in the physical environment. They also perceived the psychological environment as very satisfying. The school heads and teachers have different perceptions in various areas of the physical and psychological environment. Majority of the pupils have satisfactory achievement. The learning environment is highly related to the academic achievement of the pupils.

DISCUSSIONS

The result of the study should be well known to teachers and be discussed to ensure their consistency of perceptions between the school heads and teachers. The learning environment should be adequate to learners. This can be done with the aid of the government and other private companies and even parents
