Classroom Environment and Learning Styles As Predictors of Student Engagement

This study investigated the extent to which classroom environment and learning styles predict student engagement among education students at Davao de Oro State College. Using a quantitative-correlational research design, data were gathered through standardized survey instruments that measured indicators of classroom environment, preferred learning styles, and levels of student engagement. Results revealed that both classroom environment and learning styles were perceived at a high level, as was student engagement. Correlational analysis showed significant positive relationships between the variables, with classroom environment showing a stronger influence on engagement. Regression analysis confirmed that both classroom environment and learning styles significantly predict student engagement. These findings highlight the importance of fostering supportive, inclusive classrooms and employing differentiated instructional strategies to enhance learners’ participation, motivation, and academic involvement. The study underscores the need for student-centered practices in teacher education programs to ensure future educators can effectively engage diverse learners.
