Classroom noise and exam performance

Classrooms can be very noisy, but this noise is full of information. Sometimes the noise can help children learn, other times it is distracting and can make it harder. My project aims to study how classroom background noise may impact children’s learning outcomes. This will be completed by travelling to local schools and recording noise throughout a full school day within a Year 6 classroom. This will explore if classroom noise levels and students’ hearing ability relate to their SAT scores.
