Abstract

Boredom in the academic setting poses significant challenges affecting both students and teachers. This study explores how students' academic performance is negatively impacted by teachers' boredom and the routine nature of teaching. The students of BS, B.Ed. Hons and teachers of the educational sciences department are the focus of the study. The sample, which makes up 10% of the entire population is chosen using a simple random sampling method by using a quantitative research approach. A structured questionnaire is used in the data collection process. The main conclusions highlight the complex relationship between academic boredom and elements like standardized testing, administrative work, repetition, low engagement, and resource constraints. The study reveals the potential long-term consequences on students' motivation, self-esteem, and overall academic achievement. Recommendations include the adoption of varied teaching styles and strategies to address boredom with a focus on creating positive learning environments.
