Impact of Classroom Environment on Student Motivation, Engagement and Academic Performance

Abstract

In this research, an attempt has been made to understand the influence of classroom environment on the motivation, engagement, and performance of the students. In order to achieve this objective, the researchers have used the quantitative method of correlation. The data has been collected from 300 respondents by adopting the stratified random sampling technique among the departments of Social Sciences and Science at the University of Sargodha.Structured questionnaire and CGPA of the participants were used as sources of data. The results indicated that there was a significant positive correlation between classroom environment and student motivation (r = .960), engagement (r = .997), and academic performance (r = .956). Regression analysis also showed that classroom environment was a good predictor of the three variables.
