Abstract:

Various factors influence the teaching-learning process in the environment where it takes place. It is crucial so that all work environment indicators meet the regulatory authorities' requirements in the form of permitted limits. These indicators also include students' satisfaction and well-being. Only under these conditions it is possible to reach the highest work performance. We can evaluate the state of using the building with a tool called post-occupancy evaluation (POE). POE helps to acquire the feedback from building's users in the form of questionnaires, and it can be accompanied by monitoring environmental parameters, such as temperature, noise level, lighting level and indoor air quality. Based on real measurements of chosen indoor indicators in the classroom, our article aimed to determine the satisfaction level of its final users – students. Simultaneously, we wanted to set the teaching-learning process's probability if bad environmental conditions influence it. We measured environmental factors, oxygen level, temperature, relative humidity and lighting in the classroom. We did our measurements in the cold period of the year, in March, and compared the obtained results with the limit values. The questionnaire survey took part in the classroom, with 27 students participating in the lesson. We distributed the questionnaire at the end of the lesson. The questionnaire results confirmed 96% dissatisfaction, mainly with the indoor air quality in the classroom, which students consider crucial for their attention and well-being. Contrary, students expressed their great satisfaction with the classroom insolation. Measurements confirmed the subjective evaluation of the environment with questionnaires. The identified problem of the given state is the excessive seat occupancy in the classroom.
