Effect of Time-of-Day on Learning of Mathematics A Case of Secondary Schools in Karachi

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the effect of time of day on learning Mathematics by examining the optimal time of day to teach mathematics in a high school setting. Using a quantitative study, the data was gathered from high school students in Karachi-based schools. Classroom polls were used to obtain data for this research study. The sample included high school students, currently enrolled in VII grade (sections E and F). The school was associated with the Aga Khan Board. The findings of the study revealed a statistically significant relationship between time-of-day and the learning achievements of students and students’ performance in mathematics. As students learn more efficiently when they are taught and graded during their preferred time of day; therefore, it is recommended that parents and school management should pay attention on the students’ preferred learning timing.
