Abstract

Currently, the psychological issues faced by secondary school students and their impact on classroom instruction are widely discussed. Throughout the middle school years, adolescents experience both physical and cerebral development. As material living conditions improve and social attitudes diversify, secondary school children experience fast cognitive development, possess a strong sense of self, and may also exhibit anxiety and rebellious tendencies. Nevertheless, the present traditional classroom exhibits many drawbacks, including a singular teaching approach, disconnection from real-world applications, insufficient emphasis on perceptual skills development, and disregard for students' active engagement in information acquisition. Conventional classrooms are no longer capable of fulfilling the requirements of learners. Thus, considering the psychological traits of middle school children, this study proposes the following recommendations: Firstly, create a classroom environment that is focused on the needs and interests of the students. Secondly, use the cooperative learning approach inside the classroom. Lastly, incorporate the usage of multimedia tools and techniques for instructional purposes.
