Abstract

Amongst academics and academic institutions comes the awareness of how environmental factors can affect students’ academic performance, in and out of the comfort of their homes. As explained by Hoang, Samara, Solina, et al. (2022), an environment plays a critical role in how people can absorb information and various environmental factors can aid in that such as lighting, temperature, and sound can affect one’s learning ability. This study provides a closer look into the use of those factors and how it is able to affect different aspects of a student’s academic performance by looking at key aspects of their behavior, general weighted grades and the measurement of their environmental factors. With accumulated respondents of 77, 4^th year Industrial Engineering Students, the study utilized the statistical tool of multiple linear regression (MLR) to measure the before and after results of the two deployed surveys, with the researchers providing a guide on the median conditions of each environmental factor prior to the deployment of the 2^nd survey. Results showed statistical significance and correlation for both surveys between GWA to Sound & Sex, both Hours studied & Academic Assessment behavior between temperature. These findings are shown to cement the factors’ ability to affect academic performance as well as be the key to modifying these conditions to bring out optimum performance in students. Additional research is recommended as well as a larger sample size and selection in order to create a universal/broader approach to modifying and studying the environmental factors.
