between technology and the academic performance in students when technology is permitted in classroom settings. The hypothesis predicts that academic performance in classrooms is increased when students are not allowed to use technology during class. 100 students from two classes will participate in a semester long study using regular class assignments to determine if technology has an impact on over all grades and academic performance. There will be a total of 200 students that will be analyzed at
Overcrowded school is the reason student are failing in school Education stakeholder, policy makers and the united states government designed a formal education system that would meet the economic demand of the students at that time. However, with the fast forward, current economic climate today and technological revolution, it is evident that the current education system will not be able to meet and sustain the needs of the present generation who as more hyperactive and are on the move towards

It is the supply base from which tertiary institutions draw their major clientele (students) for admission into their different programmes. It, therefore, presupposes that the provision of qualitative education is the sine qua non for the attainment of the goals of secondary education. Nevertheless, the main objectives of the secondary

Unfortunately, it is these types of students who benefit most from recess and the physical activity and break that is provided away from classroom instruction (“Yay For Recess”).

There are many different formats for peer tutoring, but most often a better performing student is paired with one that is struggling more, this is referred to as a heterogeneous grouping. Other examples include: homogeneous groupings, cross-age tutoring, and reverse role tutoring. Homogeneous groupings are made up of students at the same

This in turn is attributed to dwindling academic performance, as the students don’t feel accepted and motivated within the social parameters
