classroom facilities and environment. Classrooms are the youths second room for
learning. Classrooms are where students learn and gain more knowledge to what they
want to be in the future. This is a place where they freely imagine and express things
through the learnings they get from a class discussion. According to Ryan, wall arts,
chairs and table arrangements, energy of the classroom, and sounds within the
classroom has a big effect on a students learning. (Hannah, 2013)
Some of the classroom environment in Mapua Institute of Technology lacks a
conducive learning environment. Most classrooms have facilities that are not working
properly like the air conditioner, projectors and the ceiling fans. Most windows lack
cover from too much sunlight that causes students to feel lazy to focus on the
discussion, students cant stay sitting on chairs for a long period of time because of the
hard structure. Lights inside the classroom sometimes are too dim which causes
students to feel sleepy in the evening class. Other classroom in the south building have
too much big windows and too much cold temperature. Students studying with that kind
of classroom lose focus on the class discussion because they can see people and the
events happening outside. Cold classrooms make students feel cozy that affects their
participation in class and do things that are not related to the class discussion.
1.2
The study seeks to give awareness on the improvement of the classroom facilities and
environment affecting on students education.
a. What kind of classroom environment is conducive for students learning?
b. What is the effect of a bad classroom environment to students learning and
academic performance?
c. What is the effect of a good classroom environment to students learning and
academic performance?
d. How can 3D animation show a proper classroom environment conducive for
learning?
e. Is 3D animation effective on showing awareness to students of Mapua Institute of
Technology about their learning environment?
1.3
The objectives of this study is to make the college and the students aware about the
effective classroom that is conducive for learning and education. The study aims to
achieve the following objectives:
To give more idea of what a good learning environment the college should have.
To offer improved design ideas for classroom facilities and environment for the
the students.
To give importance to students learning through improvement of the learning
environment.
1.4
This study will give the college an idea of a more conducive learning environment for
the students.
This study will be a guide for the schools improvement of the facilities and learning
environment.
Using 3D animation about a conducive learning environment will not only open
awareness to the colleges facilities and classrooms improvement but will also show
awareness to students of what effects a good and bad learning environment gives to
their academic performance and participation.

to this study is Autodesk Maya 2014 for modeling and rendering and Adobe Premier
CS5 for video editing and compilation.

An effective lesson plan is not only the key to get a students attention to focus on
the class discussion. The conduciveness of the learning environment is also a big factor
attention,

on
class
discussion,
memorization, communication, reading, and listening. In short, students lack verbal and
visual attention inside the learning environment because of too much exposure on noise
pollution while on class hours and classroom activity. (Shield, 2003) A noisy classroom
environment is not conducive for a students learning improvement. Noise pollution does
not only affect the students academic performance, it also affects students health.
Activities conducted inside the classroom sometimes vary whether noise pollution has a
bad effect or a good effect on students performance on school activities and
examination. (Edmonds, n.d.) The most often reported noisy part of a learning
environment is the classroom itself, followed by the crowded place outside the school
campus, peoples voice and loud discussions, and the students talking inside the
classroom. Students admitted that they are also the one who create a noisy
environment inside the classroom. Most students complain about not understanding and
not hearing what the teacher is discussing in front of the class, loss of concentration and
focus on class discussion and loss of interest in learning because of too much noise
being exposed during class hours. (So, 2014)
Lighting inside the classroom also gives an effect to students performance inside
the classroom. Dim lighting inside the classroom makes it hard for student to see and
read properly. Some researchers in the University of California in Berkley stated that
lights with higher spectra and good quality gives a better and more efficient light for
vision. It was said that students that are in a classroom using daylight as a light source
tends to work and finish the tasks faster compared to the students who dont use
