Teacher-Student Interaction towards Chemistry at Secondary Level

Abstract

Interaction is a live construct for the investigation which enhances the corrdination and minimizes the understanding gap. This study was aimed to investigate the teacher-student interaction towards chemistry at the secondary level. This descriptive study tends to the positivistic paradigm. 250 subjects were selected based on a random sampling procedure. The responses were collected through the adapted research tool. Mean, standard deviation, independent t-test, and one-way ANOVA were applied to analyze the data. The results show that IX grade students have better interaction than X grade students; female students have better interaction than the male students towards chemistry; private school students have better interaction than the public school students; success in chemistry is affected by teacher-students interaction. Furthermore, the students with more interaction have more success in chemistry. Present study proposed solutions to unpredictable problems regarding the teacher-student interaction. This study was applied to improve teacher-student interaction towards chemistry at the secondary level. This study is delimited at the secondary level in the Pakistani context only. Further research studies may be conducted with the same construct in primary, elementary, higher secondary,and higher education with varying populations and samples.
