THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SEATING POSITION IN THE CLASSROOM AND LEARNING OUTCOMES IN THE COURSE 'COMPUTER NETWORKS'

The paper investigates the correlation between seating positions in the classroom and academic performance in the subject of Computer Networks, specifically focusing on students from the Faculty of Information Technology at Thai Nguyen University of Information and Communication Technology. The research methodology employed scenarios, situations, interview questions, and real experimental cases involving 500 students. These students were assigned different seating arrangements in classrooms throughout the course, from the beginning to the end. Through specific input data, the study quantitatively assessed the relatively accurate research outcomes, based on the final exam results. The research results, comparisons, and practical evaluations indicate that seating positions are related to students' academic performance. Specifically, students achieving grades of C or higher are predominantly found in the front and middle rows, while those with grades below C are in the remaining rows.
