THE INFLUENCE OF CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT SKILLS ON ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT

Abstract

Effective classroom management is one of the most crucial determinants of student success and overall academic performance. It refers to the strategies and practices teachers use to maintain a positive learning environment, minimize disruptions, and promote student engagement. Classroom management is not limited to enforcing discipline—it encompasses planning, communication, motivation, and the ability to build relationships. The presence or absence of strong classroom management skills significantly influences students’ academic achievement by shaping the learning atmosphere and determining how efficiently instructional time is utilized.
