Learning Environment and Academic Achievement: A Descriptive-Correlational Study of Fifth Graders

This study aimed to determine the extent of the learning environment and the academic performance of Grade V pupils in Bansud Central School. This study made use of Descriptive- Correlational methods of research. The study's respondents are Grade V pupils from the five sections of Bansud Central School. The researcher's self-made questionnaire was used. Results were measured using weighted mean and Pearson's correlation. The result showed that the academic performance of grade V pupils was directly influenced by their learning environment, specifically the physical and psychological aspects of their environment. The study found a significant correlation between the academic performance and the learning environment of Grade V pupils physically and psychologically. The pupils were easily distracted by the things they could see in their surroundings, affecting their ability to perform well in class, and they had low confidence during examinations due to the fear of getting low scores. Hence, it was found that during this school year, despite the transition that the pupils faced from modular learning to face-to-face learning, they were emotionally stable and could receive all the emotional support from the people around them.
