CHAPTER ONE | |||||
INTRODUCTION
So many reasons have been advanced for the poor
performances of students in schools prominent among them are the negligence of
duty of teachers and parents. Parents seems to depend only on teachers with the
believe to change or transform their children to academic experts over night,
and anything that falls below this expectation makes the teachers conduct
unacceptable.
Few people care to think of other factors responsible for
poor performances of students at school. Unfortunately, these factors are so
weighty that, it renders the important efforts made by the teachers towards the
realization of students academic useless. It is widely accepted that c child’s
academic achievement does not only restrict to the school he attends but also
the education and educational preparation that particular child has received
outside the school. It could be from the family, in the community and from the
peer group.
According to Peter Gorski (2004) Awake ‘child’s early years
what should parents do?’ “It has been noticed that the foundational background
of any child should be properly lay down, else such particular child will face
a lot of difficulties in future. Some students who are very brilliant were
negatively affected by the attitude of their parents, by not providing them the
necessary materials needed in the school and at home.
Apparently, it is now noted that students whose parents
encourages and provides their educational needs always perform excellently. It
was discovered that many parents do not realized the importance of keeping
their children at school beyond some certain level. They preferred to have
their children working with them in their trade, and those that are interested
in keeping their children at school, never bordered to give a follow up by
checking their children’s note. This medium makes the children performance to
go below average at school.
STATEMENT
OF PROBLEMS
A lot of various factors have contributed to the effect of
parents academic background on pupils performances in Egor L. G. A. of Edo
State. Parents educational background can pose a positive or negative
expectation from students performance. Such as provision of materials and
resources which can support learning. Some families can hold firm to their
cultural value which may affect their children. For example, the assumption
parents make about choosing an occupational goal for their children.
According to Adefemiwa (1995) he said that when students
are given academic assignment to perform at home, some respond to it positively
and return with a poorly work done, while others do not make any attempt. In
addition, when students are asked to bring materials from home to aid their
learning, some responded positively while others responded negatively.
Therefore, the researcher intends to investigate the
conditions surrounding the academic performances of pupils. To this end, the
research work intends to provide answers to the following questions;
1) Broken home can lead to poor academic performance in school
2) Parents academic background can lead to low academic
performance
3) Non-providing of educational needs can as well lead to poor
result in academic performance of pupils.
4) The environment can also cause poor performances of the
pupils
PURPOSE
OF STUDY
The purpose of this research work is to examine the effect
of academic background of parents on academic performance of pupils. The
difficulties which parents experienced during their periods of schooling or the
type of job they involved which has made them to deviate from their family
responsibilities has been a way of robbing the children of their sound academic
performances. Solution will be suggested in reducing poor performance among
students.
SIGNIFICANCE
OF THE STUDY
This project would reveal the importance of parents with
sound academic background and how it can affect their children academic
performance positively or negatively. There are some children with the
population sample who are over age or above average intelligence with adequate
sensory acuity, whose parents have sound academic background and have all the
available opportunities but achieve less than what could be predicted. This
could be seen as a significance of educational discrepancy.
