The Effect of Learning Environment Factors On Students' Motivation and Learning
Learning Environment gives emphasis to the place or space where learning occurs.
A learning environment has many meanings according to the way it is used. Besides its definition as an
indicator of learning task (Tynjala, 1999), psychosocial environments in class (Henderson, Fisher, &
Fraser, 2000), and virtual environments formed with computer and internet technologies (Fulkerth,
2002), it is also used in a very wide range of ways. Studies on learning environments focus on behavior
management, classroom rules and discipline, motivation of students, teaching methods, the set-up of
classroom tools (tables, desks, etc.), and even the color of the classroom (Chesebro & McCroskey, 2002;
Slavin, 2000; Snowman & Biehler, 2003).

Learning environment is made up of both physical and psychological aspects of the environment.
Physical environment has an impact on human behavior, thinking, feeling and attitude. The study of how
human behavior, thinking, feeling and attitude change under different physical environments is known
as Environmental Psychology. According to Ken (2006), some learning environments are more
comfortable and offer fewer distractions than others.

It was found that, even though the students viewed the class positively, and
described themselves as highly motivated to learn, the level of cognitive
engagement was affected by two interrelated factors: the control the teacher had
over almost all activities, and student beliefs about learning in this context.
The learning environment is a purposefully organized set of physical, social and informative conditions in
which the pupil forms and implements his/her experience: knowledge, skills and attitudes to oneself and
the surrounding world (Šūmane, 2012).
According to Wilson the learning environment contains the learner and a setting or “space” in which the
learner acts using tools and devices, collecting and interpreting information, perhaps interacting with
others (Wilson, 1995).
The learning environment is also defined as the interaction of three factors (Learning Environment,
2013; Bates, 2015): • diversified physical space (not only the classroom), • context for what the pupil is
learning, • culture of what and how the pupil is learning (cooperation, relations, attitude).
