THE IMPACT OF SCHOOL FACILITIES TO THE TEACHING-LEARNING ENVIRONMENT

Abstract

Adequate facilities are an essential factor for student learning. The purpose of
this study was to determine the impact of School Facilities to the Teaching-Learning
Environment of the Cluster-A Schools of the Diocese of Butuan. The study utilized
the descriptive survey method of research. A questionnaire was used as the primary
instrument for data gathering. The respondents of the study were the Grade 9 and Grade
10 students, and the teachers of the Grade 9 and 10 of the Cluster A Schools of the
Diocese of Butuan. Findings revealed that the presence of school facilities as rated by the
teachers and students has motivated them and made them feel happy and satisfied with
the knowledge that they have gained through the utilization of the school facilities. The
findings affirm the expectancy-value theory which assumes that people are motivated to
do an activity if it is perceived to be linked to the satisfaction of personal needs and if
there is a positive expectancy for success (Deci & Ryan, 2014). It was recommended that
Seminar –Workshops should be conducted for teachers on the integration of technology
as part of their teaching strategies to enhance students’ motivation.
