Creating a Conducive Learning Climate for Grade 8 Students: Insights from a Government Girls High School in Gulhar, Kotli, Azad Jammu and Kashmir

Abstract

This study explores the development of a conducive learning environment for Grade 8 students at Government Girls High School Gulhar, Kotli, Azad Jammu and Kashmir. The primary objective was to assess the presence and effectiveness of such an environment within the school setting. The study employed quantitative action research design, with data collected from twenty teachers using a structured questionnaire. A universal sampling technique was applied, and the data were analyzed using SPSS. The findings revealed that parental involvement plays a significant role in shaping a supportive learning atmosphere. However, the lack of a systematically structured conducive learning environment emerged as a key issue. Based on these insights, the study recommends that educational institutions establish and implement well-defined schedules and strategies aimed at fostering conducive learning environments. The implications underscore the importance of teacher professional development, student-centered instructional design, and continuous feedback mechanisms to enhance academic outcomes and promote student success.
