The Impact of Classroom Environment On Student Behavior
The Impact of Classroom Environment On Student Behavior
Abstract:
This paper examines how physical and emotional aspects of the classroom environment affect student behavior and
academic engagement.
1. Introduction
The classroom environment plays a crucial role in student motivation and discipline. Factors such as lighting, seating
arrangement, and teacher-student relationships contribute to student well-being.
2. Findings
A well-organized, safe, and inclusive classroom reduces disruptive behavior and improves focus. Research by Barrett et
al. (2015) suggests that classroom design can influence learning outcomes by as much as 25%.
3. Conclusion
Creating a positive classroom environment enhances both student behavior and academic performance. Educators
should consider both physical layout and emotional climate.
