For this purpose, measurements were taken from a random school in a province of Elazig and the results of these variables were compared for compatibility to literature on the subject. Humidity, temperature, light and noise measurements was performed by a DT 8820 Environment Meter, Oxygen, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide was performed by a PN 66094 GMI and the magnetic field was measured with a SPECTRA AARONIA AG device. It was observed that based on the measurements of variables that the possibility of health problems arising in some of the learning environment could occur. The obtained measurements were to experience health problems due to variables in the learning environment in some classes.

Our research adds a new dimension to this with this each passing day. One of these dimensions is the learning environment. The learning environment cannot be expressed as a single space now. Depending on the nature of the course, we need to accept the fact that studios, laboratories and even libraries can be considered a classroom. These spaces will be expressed as learning environments, such as the effects of these environments on learning, and what variables to pay attention to while teaching in these learning environment are things to think about as educators before instruction begins.
