Abstract

The objective of this study is to identify the hurdles posed by poor communication and its effects on students, as well as to compare the various communication styles that affect student learning. The research aimed to assess the efficacy of the tactics employed in government and private schools. This study will assist educators in enhancing their communication abilities and classroom management strategies, so ultimately elevating student accomplishment levels. The primary aim of the study was to identify the barriers to successful communication among various instructors that affect students' academic performance at the secondary level. The quantitative technique was employed, and data were gathered using questionnaires. The population consisted of government schools in the tehsil and district of Abbottabad. This study employed a convenience sampling strategy. The total sample size comprised 250 students and instructors from 10 public secondary schools in the tehsil and district of Abbottabad. This study revealed that heredity, mannerisms, accents, and the purpose of information are significant factors of a teacher's communication abilities. Classroom noise may be from student disputes, teaching methods, management styles, or internal disruptions. It was determined that teaching methods, management styles, classroom control by the instructor, and focus on the topic may mitigate noise in the classroom.
