In an article entitled “Factors Affecting Students’ Academic Performance”


written last June 2012 by Irfan Mushtaq & Shabana Nawaz Khan of Mohammad Ali
Jinnah University Islamabad, Pakistan, it states that students are most essential asset
for any educational institute. The social and economic development of the country is
directly linked with student academic performance. The students’ performance
(academic achievement) plays an important role in producing the best quality
graduates who will become great leader and manpower for the country thus
responsible for the country’s economic and social development.

However, Multiple factors come to play when it comes to academic


performance of a learner, which need to be considered should one want to perform
better. Different people believe that different factors affect learners differently
under different circumstances (Ndapewa & Mbandeka 2012).

According to Muzenda ( 2013) teachers are regarded as the most imperative


school-based factor that influences students’ achievement levels. Poor academic
performance by numerous students in higher education and training public and
private institutions has gained significant attention by most researchers in the field
of educational management. Previous studies on the subject on the subject on
students’ academic performance by Al-Mutairi (2011) and Kang’ ahi et al (2012)
indicate although there exist several factors that influence students’ academic
performances, but teachers competence remains one major determinants of
students students’ academic performance.

Additionaly in another article entitled “Effect of Classroom Management on


Academic Performance” written by Prof. Thomas Brown last October 15, 2012 it
stated teachers play important roles in the classroom management. Effective
teaching and learning and learning cannot happen in a class that is not well managed.
Students tend to be disorderly, disrespectful and do not follow rules and procedures
in a classroom that is poorly managed and this affects student’s performance. This is
because the teachers struggle to deliver instructions and students do not learn well.

Aside from improving the classroom behavior of students to improve the


academic performance of students, Harry K. Wong (n.d) in his article entitled, “There
is Only One Way to Improve Student Achievement,” he stated that a student
achievement is a result of good classroom management. He added that it is teaher
practices that govern student learning. What the teacher does in the classroom to
structure and organize a learning environment is the most important factor that will
increase student achievement.
