A SURVEY OF FACTORS WHICH INFLUENCE ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF STUDENTS IN INTEGRATED SCIENCE

ABSTRACT

This work is a survey of factors which influence academic performance of students in integrated science. It was born out of the fact that Integrated science teaching in secondary schools is highly neglected. The investigation so far carried out covers four secondary schools in the locality.

The findings were based on four basic research questions.

Lack of instructional materials
Students attitude towards the subject (Integrated science) affects their performance
Teachers teaching methods in Integrated science affect students performance
Teachers qualification also affect the students performance in Integrated science,

From the research question it was discovered that the following factors absence of laboratories and lack of instructional materials limited and incompetent teachers of the subject were found to be responsible for the inefficient teaching of Integrated science in schools.

CHAPTER ONE

BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY

Integrated science has come to stay in this country but the way and manner it is taught has a lot to do in teaching any particular subjects a number of strategies or methodology are often employed according to Thompson (1962) “teaching are those techniques used by the teacher as the most efficient means of achieving the teaching goals”

In the Nigeria national policy on education (1981) it stated that school education should “equip students to live attentively in our modern age of Integrated science” in accordance with this aim of education, Boge (1979) has this to say, “one major educational problem is preparing the young people to cope with the intellectual and cultural environment characterized by rapid changes”, it is assumed that these young people should have some basic understanding for the Integrated science

Integrated science has continued to occupy its separate place and some time, it is often neglected in some schools even where the various branches of Integrated science are taught they are done without regard for the basic requirement needed in spite of the effort made during the present decade by the federal and state government of Nigeria to give Integrated science subject their role in education note much has been achieved in some selected schools in Nsukka local government area the effect of the deficiency in teaching Integrated science in schools are particularly evident in developing countries such as Nigeria

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM

To which extent has the number of students per class in Nigeria which is too unwieldy affect the effective teaching of Integrated science
In what way does in adequate use of instructional materials makes ineffective the teaching of Integrated science
Could lack of improvised teaching and by teacher cause ineffective teaching which lead to the students poor performance in Integrated science
Can bad attitude of teachers towards work affect the effective teaching of Integrated science
Could lack of instructional materials cause ineffective teaching of Integrated science

RESEARCH QUESTION

How does lack of laboratories and lack of instructional material affect the effective teaching of Integrated science?
How does students’ attitude towards the subject (Integrated science) affect their performance in the teaching of Integrated science?
Does teacher’s qualification also affect students’ performance in effective teaching of Integrated science/
How does teaching methods in Integrated science affects students’ performance ineffective teaching of Integrated science?

HYPOTHESIS

The ineffective teaching of Integrated science in schools is brought by several factors. The researcher has it in mind that the factors listed below could be responsible for it

Lack of instructional materials
Students attitude towards the subject (Integrated science) affects their performance
Teacher’s qualification also affect the students performance in Integrated science
Teacher’s teaching method in Integrated science affect students performance
With answers to the above, the researcher has it in mind that there is going to be a total change in the teaching of Integrated science

PURPOSE OF STUDY

The purpose of this study is to find out the problem militating against the teaching of Integrated science the schools

SIGNIFICANCE OF STUDY

The teaching of Integrated science has not been as effective as it output to be is easily of students in schools it is therefore necessary to diagnose the various factors responsible for this unheeding state of affairs and proper means by which the anomalies could be arrested

The importance of Integrated science in the life of man need to be over emphasized therefore if the subject is note effectively taught, the rudiment that are necessary for development of the basic concept of Integrated science would be lacking at the secondary schools level and this could permeate the other state of the nation’s educational level it is believed that the importance of Integrated science is well under stood and all the factors responsible for it’s unhealthy development are quickly nipped on the bud it would be possible to build a Integrated science culture oriented society which will augur well for the healthy development of the nation

SCOPE AND DELIMITION OF STUDY

The study will be restricted to Nsukka Local Government Area in Enugu Enugu State a large number of secondary school is located there hence Nsukka Local Government Area will serve as the centre of the study this will enable one to know the factor militating against effective teaching of Integrated science

LIMITATION OF STUDY

To carry out a project such as this there are bound to be procedural and methodological flaws inherent in the item developed human biases are likely to aggravate the internal weakness that are likely to exist however, conscious effort will be made to evolve method that will control for such extraneous influences in order to ensure the validity and reliability of the study

It is also expected that distance, times, finance and lack of human co-operation can pose serious threats to the successful execution of this project to this end it is hoped that every effort will be made to minimize, if not totally eliminating such threats and steps taken be highlighted to serve as a guide to those who may wish to replicate the project

DEFINITION OF TERMS

In the course of study, it is important to know what the following terms stand for technology may be defined as the use of organized knowledge to solve practical demonstrations problems

Integrated science class is a place equipped for studies in Integrated science
