ABSTRACT
The results of learners at the end of the academic year are one area in which the general public expects to see an improvement. This is not so in Namibia, when one looks at the results from the Junior Secondary Certificate (JSC) and the International General Certificate of Secondary Examinations (IGCSE) for the year 2004. It is this lack of significant improvement in some subjects that has caused concern among parents and the general public. In fact, this concern has motivated many stakeholders in education to attempt to establish the problems learners face in the classroom, the objective being to assist them to improve their learning. The major purpose of this study, therefore, was to obtain from learners their views regarding the factors in the classroom that affect their learning. In addition, the study attempted to identify teacher support strategies that learners would need in order to improve their learning. A learner questionnaire was administered to a proportional stratified sample of 637 grades 10 and 12 learners from the Khomas Education Region. Ninety percent of the learners completed and returned the learner questionnaire. The results obtained indicated that the most frequently reported factors that influence learning in the classroom were: motivation, learners’ self-esteem, self-efficacy, learners’ locus of control, attitude towards learning, relevance of subject matter, teacher factors and classroom size. There were some significant relationships of the learners’ views when broken down by grade level, gender, repeaters, and hostel or home dwelling.
