Researchers gathered data using modified survey questionnaires, originally created by others, which had been rigorously checked for accuracy and relevance. The study's findings demonstrated that classroom learning environment, classroom assessment practices and student engagement have a descriptive level of high. Furthermore, there was a significant interrelationship between classroom assessment practices, student engagement and classroom learning environment.
