THE STATISTICAL SURVEY ON STUDENT SIGHT LEVEL (A CASE STUDY OF KWARA STATE POLYTECHNIC, ILORIN)

ABSTRACT

        The research work is to examine the students seating arrangement with respect to their vision challenges.

        During the course of the work, it was discovered that students at the back row have the challenges of seeing the board. This was as a result of the distance and the area of the classroom to students ratio, while the middle row experience less challenges unlike the back row with the same causes. Students at the front seat do not experience any challenges.

CHAPTER ONE

1.0            INTRODUCTION

Effective communication in the classroom is essential to the success of both the student and the teacher. The kind of communication as well as the amount of communication that occurs in the classroom has long been thought to be partially a function of the seating arrangement of students. Where there probably is an infinite number of ways of arranging a classroom, three are most common; traditional, horseshoe and modular.

The traditional arrangement for classroom typically consists of about five or six perfectly straight rows, each containing five to seven chairs equidistant from each other or as Rosenfield and Civikly say, “something like tombstones in a military cemetery”. Historically, Sommer explains the straight-row arrangement evolved to make the best use of the only adequate lighting then available-natural light from side windows. In spite of development in lighting which make the straight-row arrangement unnecessary, this traditional arrangement persists, in fact dominates. A recent survey of classrooms on a University Campus found over 90 percent of the classrooms to have this arrangement.
