This part of the study describes the respondents in terms

of their age, sex, and strand.

1.1 Age. The first item shows the age of the

respondents, table 1 presents the distribution of the
respondents according to age.
Table 1
Profile of the Respondents According to Age
Age Frequency Percentage

16 7 4.61%

17 45 29.6%

18 87 57.2%

19 13 8.55%

Total 152 100%

 Table 1 shows the distribution of the respondents
in terms of Age. Based on the figures, 7 or 4.61% of the
respondents are 16 years old. 45 or 29.6% of the
respondents are 17 years old. 87 or 57.2% of the
respondents are 18 years old. And 13 or 8.55% of the
respondents are 19 years old, for a total of 152
respondents or 100% of the population.

According to (Setiyani et al.) adolescence is a

transitional development between childhood and adulthood,
which includes biological, cognitive, and social changes.
Adolescent biology has physical changes such as changes
in body shape, voice changes, and hormonal changes.
Cognitive changes occur in adolescents, namely being able
to reason abstractly and logically and think more
idealistically. Teenagers will experience social
transformation, namely finding a new environment socially
with friends and peers.

1.2 Sex. The second item shows the distribution of the

respondents according to sex.
Table 2
Profile of the Respondents According to Gender
Gender Frequency Percentage

Male 81 53.3%

Female 71 46.7%

Total 152 100%

Table 2 shows the distribution of respondents in

terms of Sex. Based on the figures, 81 or 53.3% of the
respondents were male. As for the 71 or 46.7% of the
respondents were female for the total of 100% of the
population, therefore the majority of the respondents are
male which is represented by 81 or 53.3% of the
population.

According to Björkqvist (2018) males appear more

aggressive than females, and that this circumstance might
be directly or indirectly linked to testosterone. And
this belief is supported by the fact that in most
mammals, males are more aggressive than females.

1.3 Strand. The third item shows the profile of the

respondents is strand. The table presents the
distribution of the respondents according to strand.
Table 3
Profile of the Respondents According to Strand
Strand Frequency Percentage

STEM 86 56.6%

HUMSS 25 16.4%

ABM 36 23.7%

GAS 5 3.29%

Total 152 100%

Table 3 shows a total of 152 respondents where

students from STEM have a frequency of 86 with 56.6% of
the total population. Thus, the HUMSS has 25 respondents
or 16.4% of the population, Followed by the ABM with 36
respondents or 23.7% of the population, while Gas has 5
respondents or 3.29% of the total population.

The study was conducted at the senior high school

department where grade 12 students were the most
accessible population to survey.

Table 4 shows the motivation and achievement which

also affects the environment of the students inside the
classroom. Upon analyzing the given data, it is observed
that the lowest mean is 3.24 for item 3, which states
that “I feel safe and secure in the school environment,
leading to having the confidence to answer a question or
participating in class discussions.” This result implies
that they often feel secure inside the classroom.

According to Jamal Raiyn (2016), Based on various studies,

students remember information better when it is
represented both visually and verbally. These strategies
help students of all ages to better manage learning
objectives and achieve academic success. Visual learning
also helps students to develop visual thinking, which is
a learning style whereby the learner comes better to
understand and retain information better by associating
ideas, words and concepts with images. Visual information
is presented through various interactive visual tools,
such as information and communication technologies

On the other hand, the highest mean is 3.51 for item

4, which states “I feel my motivation increase as I feel
more connected to teachers and classmates in the school
environment, leading to better academics and easy
communication with them.” This result shows that students
are motivated when they feel more connected with their
teachers and classmates.

According to Sabol,et al.(2020), enhancing the connection

between students and teachers has significant, positive
and lasting impacts on students' motivation and academic
development. Students who have close, positive and
supportive relationships with their teachers will attain
higher levels of achievement than those students with
more conflict in their relationship.

The grand mean of 3.54 indicates that students

believe that the school environment does have an impact
on the motivation and achievement of students. According
to Hazrati Havidz and Mujakiah (2023), Students'
motivation is all their own efforts that lead to learning
activities, ensure the continuity of learning activities,
and provide direction for learning activities so as to
achieve the desired goals. Academic achievement is the
result of learning activities, or the result of a
person's efforts, practice and experience, and this
achievement cannot be separated from the influence of the
learner's own external factors. A supportive learning
environment can be in the form of no distractions while
studying. The effectiveness of learning will make it
easier for students to remember and understand the
students who have studied. With easy learning, it will be
easy for students to do exams and assignments given by
teachers at school. That way it will affect the value and
achievement of students.

In conclusion, the analysis of the data presents

that a positive school climate affects the motivation and
achievement of students inside the classroom. The lowest
mean suggests that they often feel secured and safe
inside the classroom which affects their motivation and
achievement, the highest mean indicates that a positive
relationship with teachers and students influences the
motivation of students. Finally, the grand mean indicates
that most students always feel motivated and have
achieved a lot.

data presented the lowest mean is 3.01 for item 10 which
states “I confidently participate in recitation with my
classmates.” This item suggests that some students often
feel confident participating in recitations with their
classmates, the low mean score indicates that some
students don’t feel confident enough to participate in
class recitations. However, the highest mean is 3.55 for
item 5 which states “I am happy when I get my high

indicates that most students often feel that a positive
classroom climate affects their academic performance
inside the classroom.
According to Ma and Wei (2022), classroom climate was
positively associated with academic performance and
student’s engagement inside the classroom. Students who
experience a positive classroom climate tend to be more
engaged in classroom activities and have good academic
performance.

According to Greenway (2017), a positive relationship

between classroom climate and students, this develops
their academic competencies which may improve their
academic performance inside the classroom.

In conclusion, the classroom climate has an important

role to the academic performance of students, how they
work and do their activities inside the classroom. The
lowest mean shows that some students often feel confident
when participating in class recitations, while the
highest mean shows that they always feel happy whenever
they receive high scores because they do their best to

According to Kapil et al. (2021), it was concluded that

the classroom environment directly impacts the academic
stress among the students. Better the classroom
environment, less the stress among students which helps
them concentrate better inside the classroom.

The highest mean is 3.04 for item 3 which states “Too

day to day life inside the classroom, positive classroom
climate helps students to become more concentrated and
perform better in their class.

In conclusion, a negative classroom climate highly

affects the students' life inside the classroom. They may
feel negative emotions and show negative behavior which
leads to loss and failure. The lowest mean shows that
some students often can’t handle stress because of
academic pressure, while the highest mean shows that they

item 9=100 or 10.3%, and item 10=122 or 12.6%.

In conclusion, most students use item 10 or listening

to advice as their coping mechanism. According to Mustafa
et al. (2020), there is an impact of welfare advice on
stress and it helps a lot of people to get insights and
comfort from other people. Coping mechanisms are
important for students according to Yazon et al. (2018),
this helps students to lessen stress and focus more on
their school activities, to avoid being burned out or
overwhelmed by school work and school pressure.
