Asiyai, R. (2014). Students’ perception of the condition of their classroom physical learning environment and its impact on their learning and motivation. College Student Journal, 48(4), 716-726.
Asiyai conducted a study that examined how the physical classroom environment impacted a students learning and motivation for that class. The study examined the opinion of secondary schools students on their physical classroom environment. For the study, Asiyai presented four research questions that helped to indicate the importance the physical classroom environment has on student learning. In doing this research study, Asiyai found that the students physical learning environment had the greatest influence on students learning as well as overall academic performance.

Berris, R., & Miller, E. (2011). How design of the physical environment impacts on early learning: Educators' and parents' perspectives. Australasian Journal Of Early Childhood, 36(4), 102-110.
In this research study performed by Berris and Miller they explored the quality and importance of the physical classroom environment on two early learning facilities. They mainly used qualitative interviews with parents and educators to understand how the design of the classroom may have an impact on children’s development. Through this student both educators and the parents agreed that the physical learning environment contributed significantly to the children’s development as well as increasing their learning outcomes.

In this research study performed by Brooks he examined the relationship between formal learning spaces and the outcomes of student learning. The research used an instructor who taught identical sections of a course, each of which would be taught in a completely different classroom environment. The study found that students that were in a classroom that was more conducive to the learning were able to enhance their learning far more than students that were not in a classroom that was nearly as conducive to their learning.

This paper by Kuuskorpi and Gonzalez presented the conclusions of a study performed throughout six European countries. This study focused on the physical learning environments of future classrooms. The study found that the physical classroom environment plays a critical role in the students’ desire to develop their learning. It also established that when the physical learning environment offers resources and possibilities that support learning, a child’s motivation in the classroom increases as well.

The objective of this article was to discuss the task of creating a classroom environment that stimulates students to learns. The article discusses the importance of creating a comfortable, non-static classroom, which will stimulate a student’s desire to learn. The article also moved its focus away from students and to the teacher who needs to expand and deepen a child’s eagerness to learn which is where the need for a non-static classroom environment stems from.
