Abstract
The impact of interpersonal communication on student learning outcomes in Benin
Metropolis secondary schools is investigated in this study. The study primarily looks into
how students' academic performance, engagement, and overall learning experience are
affected by peer, teacher, and nonverbal communication. About 12,000 students from 47 public secondary schools made up the population, and a
descriptive survey research design was used. A basic random sampling method was used
to choose 180 students from nine chosen schools. A systematic questionnaire was used to
gather the data, and descriptive statistics like mean and standard deviation were used for
analysis. The study's conclusions showed that students' learning results are highly impacted by
interpersonal communication. Peer communication encourages cooperation and
knowledge exchange, which improves performance, while effective teacher-student
communication increases understanding, motivation, and academic success. Furthermore, it has been discovered that nonverbal cues including teachers' eye contact, gestures, and
facial expressions enhance student comprehension and engagement. Recommendations
were offered in light of these findings, which included strengthening teacher preparation
on effective communication techniques, encouraging organized peer interactions, and
boosting teachers' use of nonverbal clues to increase student involvement. To maximize
academic results, schools are urged to incorporate the development of communication
skills into teacher preparation and student learning initiatives.
