RATIONALE
speaking in class: answer and ask questions, make comments, and join in discussions.
Students who do not participate in those ways mentioned above are often considered to
asking questions or comments about the topic they are into or the lack of interaction
with the teacher when they are discussing in front of the class. Classroom participation
has always been a critical factor in yielding positive learning outcomes for students of
knowledge, demonstrate they have understood the curriculum, and develop confidence.
With so many positive benefits associated with classroom participation, why do many
students struggle with it and why it is so difficult to get them to participate in class?
Students struggle with participation due to factors that relate to their personal traits, as
well as the formal and informal structure of the classroom environment. Numerous
studies have been conducted on the factors that influence classroom participation. One
of those is Fassinger (1995) in which he indicated that there are following factors that
affects students poor participation, and that includes the students preparation for class,
confidence and poor comprehension. Those are just one of the factors that hinders the
students to participate in their classes. Poor participation can really affect the students
way of learning because they cannot express what they want to ask, share their
thoughts and opinions in class and even participating to their activities due to the factors
The purpose of this study is to examine and to find out which factors affects
students participation in the class and to also give awareness about these factors
This study argues that there were factors affecting students’ participation in
class.
it is striking that professors are often assumed to be the dominant influence shaping
classroom interaction. Projects often inquire about the professors’ interpersonal style
participation. A second striking component is its focus on the individual student as the
unit of analysis, even in studies which sample classrooms or observe classes (e.g,
Brooks, 1982; Heller et al., 1985; Sternglanz & Lyberger-Ficek, 1977; Howard, Short &
Clark, 1996; Karp & Yoels, 1976; Person & West, 1991).
Fassinger’s study further indicated the following factors that influence classroom
Confidence, Self-esteem also can have a marked effect on academic performance (Dr.
Ken Shore). Students usually avoid participating due to lack of self trust.
Student preparation for class, Research shows that some students reported to not be
participating in classes if they did not prepare on the subject matter prior to coming to
class, therefore did not feel comfortable engaging in discussion (Howard et al., 2002).

higher rates of participation and showed trust among students as there was visible
encouragement from peers and professors to express opinions. Fassinger noted that
professors play a key role in fostering this type of environment by ensuring cooperation
through activities that create a positive climate in the classroom and ensure the
Participation, students who actively participate in the learning process learn more than
those who do not. “Involvement matters” as Tinto (1997) points out, and this
involvement can occur both inside and outside the classroom. The importance of
(Fritschner, 2000; Howard & Henney, 1998; Howard, James & Taylor, 2002; Nunn,
Active involvement in class facilitates critical thinking (Garside, 1996) and facilitates the
talk almost 80% of the time (Fischer & Grant, 1983; Smith, 1983). Only about 10 in 40
students participate in discussions and typically, just 5 of this dominate the discussion
(Karp & Yoels, 19760. Karp and Yoels (1976) refer to this overriding pattern of
that professors are seen as the leaders of authority within the classroom, the way they
build their relationships with students is critical in getting them to participate (Karp &
Yoels, 1976; Wade, 1994; Weaver & Qi, 2005). Faculty authority can hinder
participation and studies have shown that effective ways to deal with this include,
learning students’ names, creating a climate of respect and openness, and allowing
students to refer to them by first names (Fassinger, 1995; Nunn, 1996). Classes with

does -- on the way she engages in activities, deals with challenges, and interacts with
others. Self-esteem also can have a marked effect on academic performance. Low self-
esteem can lessen a student's desire to learn, her ability to focus, and her willingness to
take risks. Positive self-esteem, on the other hand, is one of the building blocks of
school success; it provides a firm foundation for learning. The challenge in working with
children with low self-esteem is to restore their belief in themselves, so they persevere
in the face of academic challenges. You do not need a formal program to promote
self-esteem, however. Educators shape self-esteem every day, in the normal course of
participation (Weaver & Qi, 2005). Students deal with fears of not being smart enough
to address their class and therefore holdback on providing insight on subject matter due
confidence through participation. Research has shown that this is linked to classroom
with participation” (p. 157). Wade (1994) noted that students will only engage in class if
they feel that what they have to say is important and interesting.
Center at Louisiana State University, has written extensively about specific phobias and
social anxiety disorder, and has worked with plenty of patients dealing with anxiety
around public speaking. Davis says that a social-psychology concept known as the
Yerkes-Dodson law helps explain the terror of audience participation: Basically, there’s
a bell curve when it comes to stress and achievement. A bit of stress is productive —
but too little means you’ll never feel motivated to do much of anything, while too much
can turn you into a quivering mess. One thing that helps keep public speaking on the
Antonia Hamilton of University College London says that fear of judgment may be
handled by the medial prefrontal cortex, an area of the brain that’s also linked to fear
conditioning — and concerns about being judged are common in lots of speaking
scenarios, from giving a wedding toast to calling your elected officials. Yet these sorts of
situations allow the speaker time to develop some expertise, or at least the semblance
reluctant to speak up. This paper discusses the reasons for students to speak up in the
active students and three groups of passive students identified through a five weeks
observation on three classrooms at the Faculty of Social Science and Humanities, The
National University of Malaysia. The study found that the size of a classroom,
personalities of the instructor and students and the perception of peers influenced the
students to speak up in

The results of the study will be valuable and significant to the following people.
Students– This study will provide information regarding to those students who have
Teachers– This study will help the teachers to be aware and to help their students cope
Parents– This study will help the parent of the students to distinguish the problem and
eventually help their children to cope up with their poor participation in class.
Future Researchers – This study will provide baseline needed for future researchers
Poor Participation – is the lack of capabilities and courage to take part in making action
of something inside the class. It is how the students speak in class, learning on how
being taught. It is estimating the amount of knowledge that a student gained in the
class.

considerations. The state of how a student prepare before the participation in everyday

some of the better known theories which she divides into single strand and composite
The main line of argument here is that participation depends on the extent to
which a person has been able to meet a range of primary and secondary needs (after
Maslow 1954). And the influence of positive and negative forces (see, also,’force-field
analysis below). For example, as basic primary needs are met (as one economic and
social position ‘impoves’), higher needs are activated, and the balance between
negative and positive force shifts. As a result people are more prepared to take part in

According to Barbara B Wasson, Paul L Beare, John B Wasson’s by the year
1990. The purpose of this study was to investigate objectively observable categories of
behavior for good and poor readers in classroom settings. Seven specific observable
behaviors of 3 good and 3 poor readers from each of three regular classrooms at each
of six grade levels were viewed under natural classroom conditions. Trained observers
A two-way analysis of variance procedure was used in data analysis. Results indicated
that poor readers did not differ from good readers in starting to work assignments,
having necessary materials available, making unacceptable noise, being out of place,
or making unacceptable contact with other persons or their property. Poor readers,
however, were off task more and volunteered less than good readers did. The results
were interpreted to suggest that poor readers could be viewed as uninvolved students.

the year 2005 and 2006, used GPA to measure student performance because the main
focus in the student performance for the particular semester. Some other researchers
used test results or previous year result since they are studying performance for the
specific subject or year (Hijazi and Naqvi, 2006 and Hake, 1998). Many researchers
have discussed the different factors that affect the students’ academic performance in
their research. There are two type of factors that affect the students’ academic
performance. These are internal and external classroom factors include students
competence in English, class schedules, class size, English text books, lass test result,
material, teachers role in the class, technology used in the class and exam systems.
External classroom factors include extracurricular activities, family problems, work and
financial, social and other problems. Research studies shows that students’
performance depends on many factors such as learning facilities, gender and age
differences, etc. that can affect student performance (Hanses, Joe B., 2000). Harb and

engaged in the classroom; students impacting a curriculum design; and students feeling
analysis processes, benefits and challenges of, as well as motivations for students
participation. The findings revealed that students low diverse understandings of student
participation and that the degree of participation is dependent on students and teachers

STATISTICAL TREATMENT OF DATA
In gathering data, we need tools and materials in collecting this essential part of
research so that we can get the exact and accurate information that would lead us to
know the common factors that affect the students poor participation.
In order for us to gather those information, the following formula was applied.
Weighted Mean: A mean where some values contribute more than others.
When the weights add to 1: just multiply each weight by the matching value and
sum it all up
Otherwise, multiply each weight w by its matching value x, sum that all up, and
w = the weights.
x = the value.
