THE IMPACT OF CLASSROOM LEARNING ON THE INTERPERSONAL COMMUNICATION SKILLS OF GRADE 12 ACCOUNTANCY BUSINESS AND MANAGEMENT AT IMMACULADA CONCEPCION COLLEGE

Abstract

Classroom learning is an educational approach that fosters face-to-face interactions among teachers, students, and the current generation. In contrast, interpersonal communication involves exchanging information and ideas, serving as a vital skill that significantly impacts both personal and professional relationships. This study aims to assess the impact of classroom learning on the interpersonal communication skills of Grade 12 students in the Accountancy, Business, and Management program at Immaculada Concepcion College. The researchers collected 171 responses from sections ABM 1 to 8. This study utilized simple random sampling as a method and employed a descriptive design. Most respondents agreed that classroom learning enhances their communication skills. The findings indicated average weighted means of 3.30 and 3.19, suggesting that classroom learning positively impacts the interpersonal skills of the participants. Effective communication is one of the most essential skills to develop in the classroom. It goes beyond participating in group activities and interacting with classmates, groupmates, and teachers. Researchers recommend that teachers actively engage with their students, as this can motivate students to communicate more and enhance their interpersonal skills.
