The Effects of Classroom Design on Pupils' Learning in Casimiro A. Ynares Sr Elementary School

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Looking into its deeper sense, the pupils in the classroom are not only developed academically nor intellectually, they are expected to attain holistic development, that means they need to be imbibed with values, and in doing this, teachers should impose discipline in the classroom so that students would manifest the respect, love, and care to the people around them in school and in the community. Having a classroom design that is as visually pleasing as it is functional is vital to the success of children Children and teachers spend the majority of their waking day within the four walls of the classroom, so making it a place that all want to be is one of the keys to success. Although it is important for classrooms to be attractive to the eye, it is equally, if not more important, that they function effectively.

METHODS

The researcher was motivated to conduct this action research in the observation that there are some teachers who encounter problems and feel stressed due to miscommunication with the school administrators and other teachers. Teachers are sometimes blamed for the low performance of the pupils in their National Achievements Test. The classrooms should be profound places of revelation and discovery. Well-designed space has the ability to elevate discourse, encourage creativity, and promote collaboration. Though technology and contemporary design serve an important role in connecting learners to the fast-paced modern world, preservation of historic spaces contributes to an otherwise unachievable gravitas and majesty.
