The Effects of Classroom Interaction on Students’ Academic Achievement at Secondary School Level

Abstract

This research study focused on investigating "The effects of classroom interaction on students' academic achievement at secondary school level". The main objective of the study was to see the students' academic achievement with and without classroom interaction. The study was significant because it tells about the effects of classroom interaction at the secondary school level. The population of the study was all the secondary level school students. 60 students studying in Class 9 th of University WENSAM School and College were taken as the sample of the study. The study was experimental, and pre-test, post-test were used for the collection of data. The experimental group was taught by the classroom interaction and the control group without classroom interaction method. Mean Standard deviation, variance and the difference between means t-statistics were used for the analysis of data. The result showed that experimental group performed significantly better than the control group on the post-test. It is recommended that teachers should adopt interactive learning style in their classrooms because it actively engages students in the learning process. Teachers may be provided support so that they may implement various interactive activities in the classrooms.

Learning Environment and Academic Engagement in Science of Junior High School Students

“…Other indicators, such as student cohesiveness (x =4.21) and investigation (x =4.18), also received positive scores, while the material environment had the lowest mean (x =3.92), suggesting a need for improved physical components. These findings are supported by Ozerem & Akkoyunlu (2015) and Hussain and Rizvi (2018), underscore the crucial link between the learning environment and academic engagement, influencing students' capabilities and achievement. The study advocates for educators to enhance the science learning environment through thoughtful organization and improvements in physical settings and activities.…”

Blended Learning: A Necessity for Indian Education System

“…Videos give the topic the necessary level of realism, and posting on blogs and browsing e-books give the content fresh, contemporary viewpoints. C. Peer group interaction: On the campus of the school, students learn formally as well as informally through their interactions with their peer groups (Hussain et al, 2011). Through informal interactions with their peer groups, students will practice many important social ideals and life skills (Collier, 1980).…”

The Place of Critical Thinking in Physics Instruction

“…Consequently, the use of ICT resources in physics instruction need to be embraced by teachers of physics. Hussain, et al (2011) examined the effect of "Peer group Activity-based Learning" on academic achievement of secondary school students in physics subject. The study employed an experimental and a control group.…”
