    The Impact of School Environments: A Literature Review

    Reaction Paper

    School Environment play a great role in the teaching-learning process. Numerous

    evidence prove its positive and negative effect on the learning and development of students and

    the comfort of the teaching staff in facilitating learning in the classroom. In this literature review,

    school environment is mapped into four fields, namely, Systems and Processes, Products and

    Services, Physical Environment, and Communication. Each field points out possible

    environmental factors that affect student and teacher functioning and provides evidences

    supported by research findings.

    Classroom environment encompasses things such as buildings, furniture, and many

    others that are directly and indirectly planned and constructed by people in various fields, aside

    from educators. Most of the times, construction of these doesn’t involve the opinion of education

    personnel, who are supposed to be the frontiers of such act since they are the agents of school

    environmental changes. School environmental improvements must be driven by and specially

    designed for the recipients of these changes, in such reason, students and teachers genuine

    involvement should be supposedly evident. Moreover, sensitivity to environmental improvement

    and considerations must be an exhibited by both neophytes and old-timers in the field of teaching.

    I couldn’t agree more to the opinion of experts that environmental improvement must be

    embedded in pedagogy, which in my humble opinion should also be incorporated with great

    emphasis in teacher education.

    School Improvement is not limited to the physical environment within the school grounds.

    It also includes community involvement which may be actively practiced by countries abroad but

    is minimal in ours. As much as community involvement is seen as both cause and effect of an

    improved school, it could also be an avenue for students to render service to their community and

    aid the ownership of both space, learning, and experience. Community partnerships should not

    be among leaders only but must be felt among constituents and is exercised all year round, not

    just during community immersions but even in students’ group studies and activities that involves

    parental and community support.

    Finally, the impact of school environment to students and teachers ranges greatly from

    the effect of just simple uncomfort into a disruptive condition that is not conducive for learning,

    stripping the child’s opportunity to participate and learn. Hence, policy makers must address

    environmental problems more seriously and invest more in environmental changes.
