Lingkungan sekolah merupakan bagian penting dari pengalaman belajar siswa, tetapi kajian sebelumnya lebih banyak menelaahnya melalui kondisi terukur atau keterkaitannya dengan motivasi dan prestasi belajar. Penelitian ini bertujuan menafsirkan bagaimana kepala sekolah memaknai lingkungan sekolah sebagai ruang pedagogis dalam mendukung motivasi dan proses pencapaian belajar siswa sekolah dasar. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan desain fenomenologi hermeneutik Gadamerian yang melibatkan tiga kepala sekolah dasar di Kecamatan Sekernan, Kabupaten Muaro Jambi. Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara mendalam semi-terstruktur dan observasi nonpartisipatif. Interpretasi dilakukan melalui pembacaan berulang, kesadaran terhadap pre-understanding, pergerakan dalam hermeneutic circle, serta fusion of horizons antara pengalaman informan, konteks lapangan, dan pemahaman peneliti. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kepala sekolah memaknai lingkungan sekolah bukan sekadar kondisi fisik, melainkan ruang pedagogis yang mencakup relasi sosial, suasana emosional, budaya sekolah, dan praktik kepemimpinan sehari-hari. Kondisi yang nyaman, komunikatif, tertib, dan suportif dipersepsikan kepala sekolah mendukung keterlibatan, kepercayaan diri, motivasi, serta proses pencapaian belajar siswa. Pemaknaan tersebut berkembang melalui pengalaman kepemimpinan, refleksi, dialog, dan perubahan konteks sekolah. Penelitian ini mengisyaratkan perlunya pengelolaan lingkungan secara holistik melalui penguatan kondisi fisik, relasi sosial, kenyamanan emosional, budaya positif, dan kepemimpinan reflektif. Keterbatasan penelitian terletak pada jumlah informan yang terbatas, dominannya perspektif kepala sekolah, dan cakupan penelitian pada satu kecamatan. Penelitian selanjutnya perlu melibatkan warga sekolah yang lebih beragam dan konteks yang lebih luas.
