COMMUNICATION STRATEGIES FOR EFFECTIVE CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT IN PAKISTANI EDUCATIONAL SETTINGS

Abstract

This study investigates communication strategies for effective classroom management in Pakistani educational settings using a mixed-methods approach. A sample of 100 teachers from diverse public and private schools participated in structured questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. The research identified key themes such as clarity of communication, student engagement, feedback mechanisms, conflict resolution, and adaptability of communication styles. Quantitative analysis revealed strong positive correlations between clarity, student engagement, and feedback, while qualitative insights highlighted challenges faced by teachers in multilingual classrooms. The findings underscore the necessity for targeted professional development programs to enhance teachers' communication skills, particularly in conflict resolution and adaptability. Recommendations include establishing structured feedback systems and promoting collaborative practices among educators. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of the dynamics of classroom communication and its impact on student learning outcomes.
