INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
The importance of education in the
up-bringing of student cannot be over emphasized. It is a known fact that the
children on students of today are the leaders of tomorrow. As matter of
national priority, it is the fundamental responsibility of government to
provide for the education of students, this will no doubt contribute to the
overall growth and development and reduces the level of literacy to the barest
minimum. In college of education staff school today, various subject like
mathematics, English language, social studies, bible knowledge, elementary
science, computer science are taught. These subject are reliant to our day to
day development. These days emphasis is laid on both qualitative and
quantitative education.
In Nigeria society inequality of educational
achievement has been one of the recent years. No government has ever thought of
what the home can recall help in the performance of students in schools.
Teachers have always been seen as a role model and a person that can perform
miracle to influence the academic performances of student hence parents and
government tend to be arranged into different social state. It is clear that
our societies are theoretically classified into groups, person and their
families are associated with different social classes.
There is the existence of three types of
homes, the non-abundant, middle and abundant families. The position ones hold,
the occupation which one engage in the society, the privileges and prestige
receives all help to sharpen one’s style of life. The presence of adequate
potential techniques for helping the child to understand his world or cope with
complex situation may have permanent effects in his life and academic
achievement. Broken homes can also affect the performance of students in
computer science and may have permanent effect in his life and academic
achievements. The use of instructional materials may also affect performance of
students in college of education staff school. In Nigeria, however, most school
don’t offer computer science the reason been that they are not mature to offer
computer science or do not have material to teach the students. Their attitudes
and behavaiour are quite was patterned by the time they enter into school. The
child’s response to school is highly dependent on these patterned attitudes and
behaviour with this, it become necessary to undertake a student, the problem on
the academic performance in computer science of students in schools.
Over the two decades, sociologist have
tried to identify the effect of home background on the performance of student
in schools. Woodruff (1961) is of the view that the influence of home has on
the child’s learning is a great importance to his life, his value and most of
his habits and basic adjustments are established during the pre-school years.
This state shows that home plays a vital role in educational development of a
student and his performance in schools. This is so because the home provide for
a student primary socialization and information educated and it goes a long way
to help his performance in computer science in school.
STATEMENT
OF THE PROBLEM
In
recent years, there has this assumption that the standard of education in
Nigeria has fallen which manifest itself in poor performances of students. This
has therefore led to a lot of argument of whom to blame, the teachers, the
government, students, peer groups contributes to the student’s academic
performance in computer science but the home into which the students is born
nurtured and spends the most of his time is to be blame more because the home
is the major contributor to the student performance in computer science in
school. The research therefore coin at examining the effect of home background
of student in school in College of Education Staff School, Benin City.
The
research questions that will be required for the purpose of this study include
the following:
1. Does
home background affect the performance of student in computer science in
College of Education Staff School?
2. Does
socio-economic status of parents affect the student performance in computer
science in college of education staff school?
3. Does
the level of educational qualification of parents affect the student’s
achievement in college of education staff school?
4. Does
the size of the family, type, structure affect student’s performances?
5. Does
the student from high and middle social classes achieve more than those from
lower class?
PURPOSE
OF THE STUDY
The
purpose of this study is to find out how home background affects the academic
performance in computer science in college of education staff school, Benin
City. It should be seen by those who could do something about it; educational
planners, educational policy makers the universal basic education (UBE) the government, parents, the college of
education staff school management should do something that did not just evolve
overnight, hence solution. It should be as elastic as its evolution.
SIGNIFICANT
OF THE STUDY
This
study will be of immense value to educational planners in designing school
programme that are related to the family background of students such programme
can help the disadvantaged students to catch up with their advantaged peers
thereby improving the standard of education in the country. It is hoped that
the findings of this study would help in identified the role of home background
on students in schools. Every parents expect a good result from a child who
attend school.
Student
are successful in computer science when certain factors are put together
ensuring that the student who attend schools, is well fed. Before he leaves the
home the expected materials that will enhance learning at school is the
students work regularly checked, does the parent over find time to check the
child work, has the school facilities, equipments and materials that would aid
teaching.
The government is not left
out of it too. If the role of the home has been recognized in the nations
education, therefore at the end of this project work, it is assumed that the government
will assist parent guardian needs of the student wards.
