Abstract

College of Medical Laboratory Science (CMLS) students face a demanding academic workload, and choosing an effective learning environment is essential for academic success. This study aims to analyze and compare CMLS students' levels of focus and productivity in three learning environments (home, library, and coffee shops). A validated Likert-scale questionnaire was distributed to 278 CMLS students at DLSMHSI using a quantitative-comparative research design. The data were analyzed using frequency, percentage, mean, and linear regression. According to the findings, the majority of students preferred studying at home since it was more convenient and flexible. However, there were no statistically significant differences in focus or productivity among the three environments. A moderate positive correlation (r = 0.385, p < .001) was found between focus and productivity. These results demonstrate how personal study habits impact the physical environment and provide valuable insights for educators and institutions in developing supportive learning strategies and environments for students.
