The impact of the academic environment on student success

The academic success or failure of students in higher education institutions necessitates an in-depth investigation of the content of education and the factors influencing it. This article provided a scientific analysis of the key factors affecting students’ academic performance and examined the interrelation between these factors and the academic environment. The scientific and practical relevance of the study is grounded in the increasing demand for quality education and the growing influence of the educational environment on students’ academic outcomes. The purpose of the research was to identify the main factors influencing academic success among university students and to provide a comprehensive understanding of their interaction with the academic environment. The study employed systematic analysis, comparative method, survey, interview, and correlation analysis. The research involved students from higher education institutions in Kyrgyzstan. The findings revealed that internal motivation, pedagogical competence of instructors, the psychological climate of the educational environment, academic support, and collaboration among students significantly impacted academic success. The academic environment was conceptualised through three core components: infrastructural, axiological, and communicative-organisational. The analysis showed that academic failure was often linked to insufficient learning and living conditions, instructors’ attitudes toward students, and discrepancies between institutional corporate culture and its ideal model. The scientific novelty lies in the fact that, for the first time, the interrelationship between the factors shaping students’ academic success and the academic environment has been examined in a comprehensive manner. The practical value of the study is that its results can support higher education administrators, faculty, and policymakers in making effective decisions aimed at improving the academic environment. Consequently, this contributes directly to enhancing students’ educational achievements
