PROBLEM AND REVIEW OF LITERATURE

Introduction

Education is an undying process of learning (Singh,

2012) where development of all those capacities in the
individual exits which enables him to control his learning
environment and fulfill his capabilities. The forces of
environment begin to influence the growth and development
of the individual right from the womb of the mother.
Educational process of development occurs in physical,
social, cultural and psychological environment. A proper
and adequate environment is very much necessary for a
fruitful learning of the child. Especially the home and the
school should provide the necessary stimulus for learning
experience. The child spends most of his time in school and
here his environment is exerting a different influence on
performance through curricula, teaching techniques,
relationship.

Students’ academic gain and learning performance is

affected by numerous factor including gender, age, teaching
faculty, students schooling, father/guardian social
economic status, residential area of students, medium of
instructions in schools, tuition trend, daily study hour
and accommodation as hostelries or day scholar. The
learning environment can also be viewed from a pedagogical
perspective. The pedagogical learning environment covers
 Surigao State College of Technology
Surigao City

the pedagogical methods and practices used in learning and

teaching (Silander & Ryymin, 2012).

Learning environment has a big impact to the students

for this is where the place they allotted for their
learning and it happens to affect the Academic performance
of the BSEd students in Surigao State College of Technoloy.
Furthermore, there are also difficulties and problems that
the students would undergo in this matter. First, is the
availability of classrooms in the school wherein students
are having a hard time in focusing their studies because of
it. Second, is the population of the School we have now.

Review of Literature

The literature related to concept, definitions and

influencing factors on Home Adjustment, School Environment
and Academic Achievement.

Home Adjustment

The home environment plays a vital role in the

development of a child’s personality. The child constantly
interacts with the family and is invariably influenced by
the entire environment that surrounds it. Children need a
congenial environment, an environment characterized by
human care, particularly by the mother and at the same time
providing various experiences and stimulation (Caldwell,
1967).
 Surigao State College of Technology
Surigao City

The most desirable state of adjustment is one in

which the individual is perfectly happy and satisfied with
all aspects of his life at home. Home itself is a complex
unit. The assessment of its psycho-social environment is
not an easy matter. Home adjustment has been conceptualized
as the quality of human interactions, from the child’s
point of view. It includes those aspects which foster
growth and development, such as family, trust and
confidence, sharing of ideas, making decisions, parental
approval, parental encouragement, support, guidance,
affection and approval of peer activities.

School Environment

School environment as perceived by students has an

advantage of characterizing the setting through the eyes of
the actual participants. Students have a good advantage
point to make judgments about classrooms because they have
encountered several learning environments and have enough
time in a class to form accurate impressions.

Academic Achievement

In today's competitive world, education is an

important means for the socially disadvantaged people to
raise their standard of living; education has an important
role to play in development of the country. Academic
achievement constitutes a major and salient sphere of
child’s life. His career, status, income as well as
understanding knowledge, personality and happiness directly
 Surigao State College of Technology
Surigao City

or indirectly depend on education.

Academic achievement is the core of the entire

educational growth. It is the prime and perennial
responsibility of a school or any other educational
institution established by the society to promote whole
scholastic growth and development of a child.

Introduction Intelligence is not the only determinant

of academic achievement of a student. Academic achievement
of a student is always associated with the many components
of learning environment. According to Bosque and Dore
(1998), learning and teaching environment ought to
implement six functions: inform, communicate, collaborate,
produce, scaffold, and manage. They added that conceptually
speaking, the learning environment refers to the whole
range of components and activities within which learning
happens. Based on the Sandberg’s (1998), the definition on
the functions of a learning environment can be quoted as
“Teacher component’s role is to provide something between
loose guidance and direct instruction.

It can be a human agent (present or distant), an

intelligent agent, and instructions like some text books
provide. This component provides information from the
syllabus to the task level” Student's motivation for
learning is also generally regarded as on of the most
critical determinants, which contribute to the success and
quality of any learning outcome (Mitchell, 1992).

Conceptual Framework

Home adjustment is vital in academic achievements.

When students are in school sometimes they don’t feel at
home that is why the Department of Education mandated that
learning environment (schools) should be like home for the
learners. Theories in learning environment (reference 1, 2,
3, 4, year) is important in this current study.

Figure 1 is the research paradigm of the study. The

first box shows the Learning Environment that contains the
relationship between teachers, students, school facilities
and other stakeholders. It also includes the ambiance and
classroom setup conducive to learners. The second box is
the Academic Performance that contains the active and
passive learners, scores or grades, students’ outputs,
checklist, and performances that shows the effectiveness
of teaching and learning process towards the teacher and
the students. Overall, this figure describes on how the
learning environment affect the students’ performance.

adequate with an average mean of 2.64, interpreted as
agree.
The table shows that there is a good teacher-student
relationship. Item no.4 “The teachers provide guidance to
their students” is ranked one, with an average of 3.05,
interpreted as agree. This means that teachers serve as
real facilitators. They go hand in hand with students in
guiding their progress. Item no. 1 “The teacher treats
their students' faculty” is ranked second, with an average
of 2.86, interpreted as agree showing the close
relationship of the teacher and students. Teachers do not
only care for imparting knowledge but knowing their
students well. Item no. 3 “Teacher-student harmonious
relationship is festered” shows that there is a visible
closeness of the teacher and students. Lastly, item no. 3
“The teachers spend extra time for consultation”, with an
average mean if 2.68, interpreted as agree reflects the
great concern of the teacher. The teacher wants to help the
 Surigao State College of Technology

students in any way he/she can. This is of good benefit

both for the teacher and students.
The table reflects that the classroom is well
structured. Item no. 3 “The classrooms are well-lighted” is
ranked one, with an average mean of 2.54, interpreted as
agree. This is seen in almost every classroom in the
College. However, items no. 1 “The classrooms are clean”, 2
“The classrooms are well-arrange”, and 3 “The classrooms
are well-ventilated” are interpreted as disagree. This
means that classrooms are not good for learning for it is
not clean, well-arranged, and well-ventilated. This
inevitably affects the learning of the students for the
classroom is not conducive for learning.
The table reveals that there is a good student-student
relationship. Item 1 “Health competition among students is
observed”, and 2 “Camaraderie among students is fostered”
are ranked one, with an average mean of 2.68, interpreted

help one another.
The table shows a positive personality of students.
Item no. 4 “The teachers provide avenues for the students
to develop and grow” is ranked one, with an average mean of
2.88, interpreted as agree. This reflects the teacher’s
desire to help his/her students’ learning growth. Item no.
2 “The teachers are considerate and friendly” is ranked
second, with an average mean of 2.81, interpreted as agree.
A friendly and considerate teacher gives confidence for the
 Surigao State College of Technology

It can be gleaned from the Table that the obtained p-

values are greater than 0.05 when the extent of variables
on the assessment of the learning environment of the
respondents as to teacher-student relationship, classroom
structure, student-student relationship, school facilities
correlated with academic performance. This brought the non-
rejection of the null hypothesis which indicates that there
is no significant relationship between the learning
environment and academic performance of the respondents.

However, teacher’s personality has a P value lesser than

0.05 which leads the rejection of the null hypothesis

indicating that there is a significant relationship of

teacher’s personality to academic performance. It suggests
that if the teacher has a bad personality, it affects the
academic performance of the students.
