Keywords:

The social and emotional development of children in primary school is very important as it influences their ability to interact with others, manage emotions, and form a healthy mindset. One of the main factors affecting this development is the learning environment. A supportive environment, both physically, socially, and psychologically, can have a significant impact on children's development. This research aims to examine the influence of the learning environment on the social and emotional aspects of children in primary school. The method used is a quantitative approach through surveys, observations, and interviews involving students, teachers, and parents regarding the conditions of the learning environment at school and at home. The research results show that factors such as a positive relationship between teachers and students, adequate learning facilities, and emotional support from family have a significant relationship with the development of students' social and emotional skills. These findings emphasize the importance of creating an inclusive and safe environment to support children's overall development. Based on these results, it is recommended that educators and parents pay more attention to environmental elements that can influence children's social and emotional development in elementary schools.References
