“…They further note that learning comfort will be found when the learning atmosphere or environment is supportive. (Puteh et al, 2015) have stated that the classroom physical environment is one of the elements in creating a conducive and (Puteh et al, 2015). This situation would bring students more opportunities to learn, relieve boredom in learning, as well as reach the expected educational goals.…”

Former studies have demonstrated that the success of language learning is influenced by several factors such as cognitive, affective, and social factors. Learners with high motivation in learning will surely influence their success in language learning. On the other hand, those who have a poor motivation to learn will result in poor academic achievement. One of the affective factors that have also affected learners’ progress in language learning is boredom in language learning. Drawing on the qualitative lens, the current study has attempted to investigate factors underlying this notion at the secondary school level. Six learners voluntarily participated in this study as the research participants. In the meantime, a written reflection (WR) and Focus-Group Discussion (FGD) were distributed to them so as to know such factors underlying their boredom in learning English. The findings indicated that factors underlying learners’ boredom in language learning include classroom factors, linguistic factors, teaching and learning factors, and environmental factors. These findings have given an empirical contribution to the school. Suggestions are also put forward at the end of this paper.

“…Shelter and Security can be defined as the ability to provide a safe and comfortable learning environment, physical and psychological, to students (Weinstein and Novodvorsky, 2015). The physical aspect of the classroom can be related to the comfort level of teachers and students during teaching (Puteh et al, 2015). Elements of the physical environment in the classroom, such as heating, lighting and air quality, have a significant impact on student outcomes (Barrett et al, 2017;2015;Hurst, 2005).…”

“…Finally, the seventh research question related to the view of elementary school teachers on the overall effect of the classroom environment, it could be claimed that those teachers with optimum classroom environments were more satisfied than the others, their students were happier, and their learning processes were more effective. The classroom environment, where students were able to move comfortably, and the suitability of its factors, such as light, air, and classroom objects for student development, were positively associated with the learning and teaching comfort (Puteh et al, 2015;Asiyai, 2014;Clark, 2002), and the attitudes of teachers and students (Ford, 2019;Snow, 2002). The interesting classrooms facilitated the teaching-learning efforts, and the teachers who thought their classrooms were interesting were more willing in the teaching process than other teachers (Earthman and Lemasters, 2009).…”

Understanding the educational environment and effectively regulating it in consistent with educational objectives is an important factor in facilitating teaching and a crucial ability for the teachers. Investigating the perception of 12 classroom teachers at four elementary schools about their classroom environment, this study aims to reveal the situation about their classroom environment, its effects, and the desired classroom environment in terms of the functions of the classroom environment. Two analytical frameworks, Classroom Functions Theory as well as Environmental Competence, are means to understand this topic. A semi-structured interview form and an observation form were used as data collection instruments. In the study, it was observed that the majority of teachers were able to evaluate the classroom environment, but they remained unsolved about how the classroom can be designed better. Besides, the teachers stated that their classroom environments performed social, symbolic identity, and task instrumentality functions in a limited way for various reasons while largely functioning the shelter and security. Finally, the teachers emphasized that their classes did not fulfill growth and pleasure functions and that most of their desires about the classroom environment were related to these functions.

“…The PLE's built-in pedagogy would be a setting of what to learn or teach, how to learn or teach, and also how to act and respond. Built-in pedagogy is based on the belief that the cultural, psychological and behavioural attributes of PLE is linked to and embodies specific pedagogical practices that can shape learners' learning experiences and behaviours [29,30].…”
