Instructional Quality
Does your classroom or auditorium have any of the following conditions that degrade the effectiveness of the learning environment?
- The ambient noise in the room masks the speaker’s words.
- The instructor’s unaided voice doesn’t make it to the back row.
- The classroom or auditorium has poor acoustics in which to carry sound.
Studies show that normal-hearing students can miss up to 25% of what teachers say - up to 40% for students in the back row. This is due to many factors, including the inability of the instructor’s voice to project above the ambient noise level and the acoustics of a space hindering listening comfort.
Amplifying the instructor’s voice and evenly distributing the sound throughout the room greatly enhances the instructor-to-noise ratio, thereby improving teacher effectiveness. The end result is an overall boost in student achievement.
In a seminar setting, increasing the instructor-to-noise ratio also serves to address the very real problem of listening fatigue.
