CHAPTER ONE | |||||
INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND
OF THE STUDY
Our
secondary school today offer some subject like chemistry, physics, English
language, mathematics, economics, commerce,, fine art, history, government,
geography, home economics etc in an attempt to categorize these subject above
into broader areas, we would certainly findout that fall under science, social
sciences and pure arts. These subject listed above are very important for our
day to day exercise and they are designed to relate them to experience in life
to achieve success therefore, both side have to be very active in other words,
the teachers must be dedicated towards effective teaching and the students must
strictly adhere to the rules governing hard work in order to succeed in the
pursuit of their academic career in life. It therefore means that poor
performance of students is serious problem which demands urgent solutions.
Education
is very vital in the human existence because the society and education are
interrelated and inter-dependent. This can also be seen in the nature and
development of a child born in a given society. The school is an umbrella
governing children for different parental background and social background and
as such the children learning and rate of academic development is closely
related to other experience. The child’s performance in school is determined by
environment which the child finds his or her self. In the socio economic
different factors can be found, these include social, economic, psychological,
cultural, genetic, environmental and emotional.
STATEMENT
OF THE PROBLEMS
Education
has been defined as a continuous process which start from birth and ends at
death, parents, teacher’s educators and researchers are aware of factors that
could influence or fell on a child performance in school. This effect of
education on a child’s life can either be positive or negative and it can both
be emphasized based on itemizing the importance of education. The potentiality
of a person can be determined by both formal educations he set or receives.
Research work on study has shown that when a child is born he is a tabular
raser, but both other researchers have shown that a child does not take into
school bank. He or she goes into school equipped with what his home has to
offer, it is therefore important to know that the research work is designed to
investigate and analyze the effect of socio-economic background students
performance academically at senior school certificate examination (SSCE) in
some selected secondary schools in Benin City. This work hopes to finds out the
different in educational performance between children whose parents are
academically, socially and economically balanced and those that are not
academically, socially and economically balanced.
PURPOSE OF
STUDY
The
purpose of this work is to find out or show the effect of socio economic on
children performance in school. It is based on selected secondary schools in
Benin City. The research work will show among other things suggested or proffer
solutions to some of these problems that militate against student’s
performances in school. This research work will assist students in the future
who want to conduct researcher on the same topic. This project work therefore
intends to examine if the under factors could affect the child’s performance
academically.
1.
Economic
academic backgrounds
2.
Socio economic
status (SES) of parents
RESEARCH
QUESTIONS
The
following hypotheses have been formulated from the above assumptions.
a.
There is no
significant relationship between facilities in the school and his academic
performance in school
b.
There is a
relation between structure and students academic performance
c.
The academic
fulfillment of parents does not affect the child’s academic performance at
school
d.
Depending on how
good a child academic performance is bound to be affected.
SIGNIFICANCE
OF STUDY
It has
been asserted that a child performance in school is determined to a large
extent by the socio-economic of the child, since social life is the primary
source of letting. This work will therefore show the significance different in
socio-economic of child with result to academic performance in school. This research
work will assist curriculum planners in planning of school curriculum. It will
help them recognize individual differences of individuals or parents.
Apart
from benefits of curriculum planners works, the teachers should make sure that
a classroom learning situation should enter for various categories as well
adjusted pupils or students. It also help create a new method of teaching
conclusively, irrespective of parents, socio-economic status (SES) parents
should endeavour to encourage their wards at home and provide them with all amenities
that enhance academic performance.
