Examining the Direct Influence of Classroom Lighting Quality on Students' Learning Abilities and Academic Achievement

Abstract

This study examined the impact of quality of light in classroom on student’s learning abilities and academic achievements, with primary objectives to know about quality of light in classrooms, and, to determine and evaluate its importance. Sixty students of grade XI from one government girls’ higher secondary school were selected as judgemental sample. Sample students were divided into two (experimental and control) groups, housed in two separate spaces, and taught for three weeks. To set a baseline about the academic level of students, a pre-test in the subject of English was developed. After three weeks treatment, the academic achievements of students were evaluated through post-test. Data obtained through pre-test and post-test was analysed and interpreted. Findings revealed a considerable impact of the quality of light on students’ academic achievement. The study suggests improving lighting conditions to create more supportive learning environments and enhance educational outcomes.
