Percepção de ruído em sala de aula por estudantes universitários e suas consequências sobre a qualidade do aprendizado

Abstract

Purpose: To identify the perceptions of university students about the noise in the classroom and its consequences on learning quality. Methods:The participants were 100 healthcare undergraduate students from ten noisy classrooms indicated by their teachers. They completed a questionnaire with open and closed questions about the presence, source, type, and valuation of noise, its impact on lessons and strategies to minimize it. The closed responses were descriptively analyzed, and compared among courses. Results: Mean age was 21.3 years, female predominance (85%) and unmarried (91%). The university and the classrooms were considered noisy by the students; they indicated themselves as the largest source of noise; they react to noise with an effort to listen, difficulty in concentration and irritation which interfere in learning, grades and health. In noisy conditions, the students ask for silence, to sit in front of the class or to study at home. Conclusion:Students identified noise as a harmful factor for the teaching-learning process, realized their role in this context and were proactive in creating an environment compatible to learning.

Voz do professor: sintomas de desconforto do trato vocal, intensidade vocal e ruído em sala de aula

“…The composition of this study's sample is similar to other related studies, which presented participants with an average age close to the end of the vocal efficiency period (8,11,20) . The average time of profession found was higher than in other studies (2,8,21) , and the workload was lower when compared to some studies (2,21,22) , which may be related to the fact that most of the primary education teachers in this study only teach classes in one period per day.…”

“…Thus, the noise assessment objectively performed with the sound level meter at different times and school sites (11) as well as the self-assessment of symptoms reported by teachers (12) contribute to understanding the noise-voice relationship and the environmental and organizational aspects.…”

Percepção do ruído, saúde auditiva e qualidade de vida de professores de escolas públicas

“…However, unfavorable conditions related to physical structure of school (such as noise level) have been a recurrent teachers' complaint and considered as one of the main risk factors, being harmful to classroom development, to student learning and to communication (1) . The noise in classroom comes from internal sources, stating the most frequently as furniture, conversation between students in classroom, corridors or courtyard and proximity to multisport courts; besides external sources -traffic and proximity to urban centers (2) .…”

“…Although the objective evaluation aims at creating important data to compare with allowed levels of noise in different workplaces, it is extremely important to consider the information contained in perception of workers daily exposed to this risk factor (2) . Reduction of work satisfaction and stress elevation also represent a direct impact of noise in teachers' life, reflecting in restriction of everyday activities and in deterioration of their quality of life (1) . There are several definitions for the term "quality of life" and they can include factors related to health or not.…”
