dc.description.abstractThis research was conducted to determine whether classroom climate influences academic achievement of secondary school learners. The literature study indicates that the classroom climate factors such as organization of learning space, learner involvement and discipline have a direct influence on academic achievement. To confirm the influence of the above factors, the research was conducted at four secondary schools in the Amajuba District of Newcastle. The research revealed that a significant positive correlation exists between classroom climate and academic achievement of learners in secondary schools. The research further confirmed that the lack of organization of learning space, lack of learner involvement in lessons and lack of classroom discipline contributes to poor academic achievement in secondary schools. A positive classroom climate is facilitated by educators being given maximum opportunity to teach and learners being given maximum opportunity to learn. The benefit of a positive classroom climate is that the joy of learning is unfolded in an environment that enables each learner to thrive and to soar to greatness by achieving academic success. Ultimately the positive transformation of our society lies within the domain of our emerging generation. Thus positive classroom climate is necessary to raise matric the pass rate of 70% in the Kwa-Zulu Natal Province.en_US
