INVESTIGATING THE IMPACT OF CROWDED CLASSROOM ON STUDENTS' LEARNING AT SECONDARY LEVEL IN QASIMABAD HYDERABAD

Abstract

This paper aims to investigate the impact of crowded classrooms on students learning at secondary school level. The study was descriptive in nature. Five-point Likert Scale close ended questionnaire was developed for the collection of data. The simple random sampling method was used in the study for selecting the sample. The questionnaire was used to collect quantitative data from the 96 secondary school students of 9^th and 10^th grades comprising of both boys and girl students. The data was analyzed through SPSS version 29. This study points towards the obstructive impact of large classroom size on the students overall learning. Moreover, according to the findings the larger classes are not beneficial for the students’ academics. Thus, suggests that the school management may arrange students in classes of 25-30 students per class. The concerned authorities are hence suggested to make proper arrangements for the classrooms as per need of the school attendance to create positive academic impact.
