Enhancing Learning Through Productive Classrooms: A Case Study At Jining Normal University
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study examines the effectiveness of implementing productive classroom strategies to improve learning outcomes among undergraduate students at Jining Normal University in China. The research seeks to accomplish three primary goals: firstly, to evaluate the effect of effective classroom practices on student engagement and participation; secondly, to assess the impact of these strategies on academic performance and knowledge retention; and thirdly, to investigate student perceptions and satisfaction regarding the implementation of productive classroom techniques. The study employs a quantitative analysis methodology, encompassing 130 participants from diverse academic fields within the university. The data collection instruments comprise a meticulously designed, structured questionnaire consisting of 30 items. These items are specifically aimed at assessing the experiences and perceptions of students regarding effective classroom methodologies. The questionnaire covers elements such as active learning methodologies, cooperative exercises, teacher-student engagement, and classroom ambiance. The effectiveness of productive classroom practices in enhancing learning outcomes is determined by analysing participants' responses using statistical methods. The study's findings are anticipated to offer valuable insights into the effects of effective classroom strategies on student engagement, academic achievement, and overall learning experiences in a higher education setting in China. Furthermore, the research seeks to enhance the current body of knowledge on pedagogical strategies that facilitate active learning and student-centred education. The study's practical implications involve advising educators and institutions to incorporate effective classroom techniques into their teaching methods. This is done to create a dynamic and supportive learning environment that meets the diverse needs of students in modern educational settings.
