In Ghana, however, little of such studies have been done. Therefore, this research examined classroom interaction and interpersonal relationships ’ influence on Junior High School students ’academic performance in the Wassa East District. The study utilised a descriptive survey design. The population for this research was 2,132 JHS three students in Wassa East District. Using a multi-stage sampling technique, 350 students were sampled for this research. Questionnaires (Relationship Scale Questionnaire and Questionnaire of Teacher Interaction) and district mock results were utilised to gather the study’s data. Frequencies, percentages, means and standard deviations, independent samples t-test, simple linear regression and multiple linear regression were employed as statistical tools to analyse the data collected. The study found that uncertainty and strictness were significant negative predictors of students ’ academic performance, whereas student freedom was a positive significant predictor of students ’academic performance. Additionally, it was discovered that interpersonal relationships did not influence students ’ academic success. It was recommended that to improve students ’ academic performance in the district, the district directorate of education should consider teachers ’ uncertainty, strictness and student freedom as well as students ’ interpersonal relationship as important variables.  \nACKNOWLEDGEMENTS  \nI want to say how grateful and appreciative I am to Prof. Paul Dela Ahiatrogah and Dr. Andrews Cobbinah, both of the Department of Education and Psychology, and the College of Distance Education, who jointly supervised this academic work. They professionally guided, advised and encouraged me during the writing of the thesis. In addition, I owe a ton of gratitude to Mr. Daniel Mensah, the headteacher of SIPL School, for his immense contribution towards the completion of this research thesis. I appreciate your deeds.  \nDEDICATION  \nTo my family  \nTABLE OF CONTENTS  \nPage  \nDECLARATION ii  \nABSTRACT iii  \nACKNOWLEDGEMENTS iv  \nDEDICATION v  \nTABLE OF CONTENTS vi  \nLIST OF TABLES x  \nLIST OF FIGURES xi  \nCHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION 1  \nBackground to the Study 2  \nStatement of the Problem 6  \nPurpose of the Study 8  \nResearch Questions 9  \nHypotheses 9  \nSignificance of the Study 10  \nDelimitations 11  \nLimitations 111  \nDefinition of Terms 11  \nOrganisation of the Study 12  \nCHAPTER TWO: LITERATURE REVIEW 13  \nIntroduction 13  \nT","cbCaieinqNb4qwih","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaieinqNb4qwih","pdf",8232999,195,"English","# Declaration\n# Abstract\n# Acknowledgements\n# Dedication\n# Table of Contents\n# List of Tables\n# List of Figures\n# Chapter One: Introduction\n## Background to the Study\n## Statement of the Problem\n## Purpose of the Study\n## Research Questions\n## Hypotheses\n## Significance of the Study\n## Delimitations\n## Limitations\n## Definition of Terms\n## Organisation of the Study\n# Chapter Two: Literature Review\n## Theoretical Framework\n## Conceptual Review\n## Empirical Review\n## Conceptual Framework\n## Chapter Summary\n# Chapter Three: Research Methods\n## Research design\n## Study area\n## Population\n## Sample and Sampling Procedure\n## Data Collection Instrument\n## Validity and Reliability of Instrument\n## Data Collection Procedures\n## Data Processing and Analysis\n## Chapter Summary\n# Chapter Four: Results and Discussion\n## Demographic characteristics of respondents\n## Research Question 1\n## Research Question 2\n## Hypothesis 1\n## Hypothesis 2\n## Hypothesis 3\n## Hypothesis 4\n## Discussion of Findings\n## Summary\n# Chapter Five: Summary, Conclusions and Recommendations\n## Overview of the study\n## Key findings\n## Conclusions\n## Recommendations\n## Suggestions for Further Research\n# References\n# Appendices","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the study?\",\"answer\":\"The study examines how classroom interaction and interpersonal relationships influence Junior High School students’ academic performance in the Wassa East District.\"},{\"question\":\"How was data collected and analysed?\",\"answer\":\"Data were collected using questionnaires (Relationship Scale Questionnaire and Questionnaire of Teacher Interaction) and district mock results.
