To know
the relationship
between the
condition of
school facilities
and students’
academic
achievement.
This research is qualitative
methodology. All of these studies are seminal
works that aply demonstrate the devastating
effect of unwanted noise in the classroom. The
findings of these studies are important and can
be relied upon because appropriate methodology
wasused and the researcherswere able to control
the student population. The ability to clearly hear
and understand what is being spoken is a
prerequisite for effective learning. When this
ability is impaired through unwanted noise
students do not perform well.
The study has measured overall
building condition and its connection to
student performance; these have
consistently shown that students attending
schools in better condition outperform
students in substandard buildings by several
percentage points. School building
conditions also influence teacher
effectiveness. Teachers report that physical
improvements greatly enhance the teaching
environment. Finally, school overcrowding
also makes it harder for students to learn;
this effect is greater for students from
families of low socioeconomic status.
Analyses show that class size reduction
leads to higher student achievement.

This paper
investigated the
effects of school
facilities on the
educational
quality of pupils
in kupe-
muanenguba
division, south-
west region of
Cameroon.
This research design is categorized in
quantitatvive in nature methodology.
The population constituted 210 teachers of public
primary schools in the kupe-muanenguba division,
purposefully sampled. The instruments used were
mainly questionnaire and direct observation. The
likert scale was used to classify scores under:
Strongly agree (SA), agree (A), uncertain (UC),
strongly disagree (SD), and disagree (D)
From the ANOVA table served, the
level of significance (p-value 0.05)
shows that the regression model is
significant. Considering the element
regressed, we realize that apart from the
nature of toilet facilities, all other factors
are significant predictors of pupils’
academic output in the primary school.
Based on these results presented in table 3,
we can conclude that school facilities are
significant determinants of pupils’
academic output in Kupe Muanenguba
division.
So, A major concern in educational
reform is in improving the quality of
education offered to its citizens. This is to
ensure that children complete schooling
with a dignified quality of basic skills.
When children enjoy a pleasant learning
environment, they are likely to attend
school with a lot of passion thus, allowing

The purpose
of this study was
to establish a
relationship
between the
quality of school
facilities and
student
performance and
achievement, in
relation to the
field of
Technology and
Livelihood
Education (TLE).
This is qualitative research; mixed methods
design was used in this study where questionnaires
were administered to and interviews were carried
out with the respondents who were department
heads and selected instructors in the field. In
addition, data was also collected from the school
anecdotal records. Independent z-test was
conducted to specifically identify the difference in
students’ performance and achievement prior to and
after the procurement and utilization of new
facilities in the TLE department.
Results revealed that the component
with the highest mean rating was the
exterior environment (3.50) and the
component with the lowest mean rating was
support space (2.97). In terms of student
performance and achievement, the largest
increase was observed during school year
2010-2011 (22.0%) while the smallest
increase was noted during school year
2009-2010 (2.8%). These findings support
the assumptions that insufficient school
facilities were negatively impacting student
performance and achievement, and the
administrators concerned take no
significant action in addressing this
educational issue. Since the lack of
educational facilities was proven to pose
serious ramifications on student
performance and achievement,

relationship
between school

achievement;John
Chapman High
School, George
Washington High
School, Creekside
High School.
Interviews were conducted in the chosen
schools during the month of May 2008. Because
the end of the school year was approaching, time
was valuable and therefore the importance of
brevity was recognized. The interviews consisted
of nine participants, three from each of the
chosen schools; John Chapman High School,
George Washington High School, Creekside
High School. Ages of participants ranged from
38 to 61 with a mean age of 46 years (SD=7.04).
The number of years experience the participants
had in education ranged from 10 to 38 years with
a mean of 22 years (SD=9.15).
All three of the chosen schools were in
rural Appalachian Ohio and the student
population ranged from 540 to 1877 with a
median of 1250 (SD=668.93). The student
population at all three schools was predominately
The prospect of a new
facility for George Washington led
faculty to anticipate improvement
in student behavior and academic
achievement. Amber Greene,
however, seemed to be grounded
in reality as she was somewhat
hesitant to get her hopes up.
There are certainly issues which
made the current building obsolete and
which cannot be corrected with
renovations or additions. The biggest factor
was its location. When it was built, it was
built for a different generation. Nearly a
century later more space is needed for
students providing their own transportation
and there was no room to add on to
accommodate the current influx in
students.

(98% or more) white which is typical for the
Appalachian region. The graduation rate for the
chosen schools ranged from 88.1% to 97.9% with
the median of 94.9% (SD=4.35%). Two of the
schools received an “Excellent” designation on
their 2006‐2007 School YearReport Cardand the
third school received an “Effective” designation
for 2006‐2007 School Year Report Card.
The list of questions was kept short and
the longest interview with the faculty included no
more than 25 questions and most interviews
lasted 5 to 10 minutes.
The questions asked during the interview
were printed off in a questionnaire form (see
Appendix A). These questions were asked
verbally by the researcher to the participants
during the interview. The responses of the
participants were recorded on the questionnaire.
If additional space wasneededforthe open‐ended
responses, additional paper was used. The
questionnaires were kept on file to analyze the
The faculty at Creekside indicated
that their new facility had led to positive
change in their students’ behavior and
academic achievement. With more space,
discipline issues had decreased and
academic achievement consistently
increased. However, consistent with
Amber Greene’s hesitations, Chris Flowers
indicated that the newness of the facility
had begun to wear off and to students who
had neverknown any other school building,
Creekside is just another school.
Just because a building has an
antiquated infrastructure does not always
mean its needs to be replaced. In the case
of John Chapman Central, the building
lacked technology because the
infrastructure to support it was not there.
However, the building was structurally
sound, and there appeared to be ample
room at the school. Therefore the

data and report the findings afterwhich they were
shredded.
Interview responses that were quantifiable
were codified and entered into an Excel
spreadsheet. Using the capabilities of Excel,
analyses were run to compare the responses from
the control group (John Chapman) with those at
George Washington to establish what level of
anticipation, if any, existed with the prospect of a
new facility being constructed; and also between
George Washington and Creekside to determine if
those anticipations were realized in terms of
improved academic achievement whenthey moved
into the new facility.
Not all responses from the interviews
were able to be quantified. These responses were
usually given by participants to justify the closed‐
ended responses they gave during the interview.
The qualitative data will be used to categorize the
responses given by the participants to determine
patterns and justify outliers between the different

The purpose
of this mixed
methods study
was to examine
the impact of the
quality of
facilities on the
educational
environment in
high schools
located in
northeast Texas.
The intent of this
research study
was to determine
the relationship
between school
facilities and the
school-learning
environment.
This study was a mixed method research
that used questionnaires and interviews to
identify and appraise school facilities and
learning environment. The problem was that
school facilities were negatively impacting
student learning and faculty, and administrators
were not properly supporting stronger facility
management. The poor condition of some
schools raised serious concernsabout teacherand
student safety. Educators must understand and
find ways to help increase student performance.
This study used descriptive statistics to analyze
the data. The independent z-test was conducted
to determine the difference in student
performance before vs. after the new facility.
The results of the data
analysis findings indicated that
quality and educational adequacy
of educational facilities were
statistically significantly
associated with student
performance and teacher turnover
rate showing a statistical change
also.
