Library Design and Academic Performance: Implications on Students’ Engagement
Journal Title: International Journal of Current Science Research and Review - Year 2025, Vol 8, Issue 05
Abstract
Libraries play a crucial role in shaping students’ engagement and academic success, not only by providing access to resources but also through the quality of their physical environment. This study determined the influence of library design on students’ engagement and academic performance. A total of 252 first-year students enrolled in Academic Year 2024–2025 were selected using the Taro Yamane formula and random sampling. A descriptive-correlational research design was used, and data were gathered through a structured survey questionnaire. Descriptive statistics such as frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation were utilized, along with multiple regression analysis to examine relationships among the variables. Findings revealed that students rated the library design—specifically in terms of physical layout and organization, lighting and acoustics, ergonomics, technology infrastructure, and green spaces—as generally very good. Academic performance, measured through GPA, and library engagement, assessed through library visits, resource utilization, facility use, and program participation, both received most of the time ratings. Regression results showed that physical layout and organization, green spaces or nature integration, and lighting and acoustics significantly influenced student engagement. However, when taken in isolation, ergonomics, technology infrastructure and GPA did not show significant influence. The positive average rating for library design and engagement suggest that librarians implement programs and activities that leverage well-rated design features to further enhance student engagement.
