IMPROVING AIR QUALITY IN THE CLASSROOM THROUGH THE AIR CONDITIONING CLEANING PROGRAM AS AN EFFORT TO MAINTAIN STUDENT HEALTH IN THE LEARNING PROCESS AT THE ANNUR SIDOARJO ISLAMIC BOARDING SCHOOL

Objective: A clean, tidy classroom with adequate lighting and a cool, stable
temperature will encourage students to focus and feel comfortable during the
learning process. Room temperatures that are too hot or too cold can disrupt
concentration, cause drowsiness, and even cause physical discomfort, which
ultimately reduces learning effectiveness. Managing room temperature
through good ventilation or optimal use of air conditioning is important.
Additionally, a pleasant classroom environment—characterized by positive
teacher-student relationships, the use of interactive learning methods, and a
supportive emotional atmosphere—is essential. Method: The Waterfall
Method is one of the linear and sequential methods used in system or project
development. This method includes the initial observation and coordination
stage, scheduling of AC cleaning activities, AC cleaning implementation,
counseling and education, monitoring and evaluation, which must be
completed before proceeding to the next stage, like a waterfall. Results: The
classroom AC cleaning program has proven to have a positive impact on air
quality and the comfort of the teaching and learning process. Comprehensive
AC unit cleaning successfully reduced dust and dirt that could potentially
harm the health of students and teachers. Novelty: Observations and
questionnaires showed an increase in learning comfort and awareness of the
importance of regular AC maintenance. The educational activities conducted
also successfully fostered knowledge and awareness among teachers, staff, and
students about the importance of maintaining a clean learning environment.
This program is expected to serve as the first step in establishing a culture of
regular school facility maintenance as a preventive measure to safeguard the
health of school community members.
