Effects of Micro-Environmental Factors on Students’ Learning in Classroom at College Level in Pakistan

Abstract

The research aimed to determine the effects of Micro-Environmental Factors (MEFs) on students’ learning. Students’ learning was measured in controlled and uncontrolled MEFs within classroom. Researcher explored the effects of MEFs on students’ learning and find out the relationship between them. For this study, the experimental research design was used. In the first step, The Classroom Environmental Monitoring System (CEMS) was developed using (COTS) sensors to measure MEFs like temperature, CO2, humidity, and luminosity. In second step a test was conducted to evaluate students' learning. Data were collected by experiment in twelve (12) government and eighteen (18) private colleges of division Bahawalpur. Data analysis was performed in python using Logit, Probit Regression models, and Artificial Neural Network (ANN). The result of this study reveals that MEFs have impact on the students’ learning and both the variables are correlated. Henceforth, monitoring the MEFs during teaching learning process ultimately enhanced the learning of students.
