CORRELATION
BETWEEN UTME, POSTUTME AND STUDENT ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1Background
of the study
In order to
qualify for admission in the Nigerian university, a candidate must satisfy some
minimum requirements. In the first place he or she must obtain five relevant
credits in the senior secondary school certificate examination including
English and in some cased mathematics. In addition such a candidate must sit
for and obtain a minimum pass mark in the University Matriculation Examination
conducted by the Joint admission and matriculation Board(JAMB) as well as pass
an additional post university matriculation examination screening test
(post-UME) conducted by the selected university. Notwithstanding those
stringent requirements for admission, most Nigerian students still perform
badly I their semester examination and indulge in a variety of examination
malpractices which make the conduct of examination a tedious chore that may
degenerate into life threatening or due at the worst. Malpractice committed by
a candidate to make up of their deficiencies in knowledge include using
prepared materials brought in by candidates as hard copies hidden in obscure in
part of the body or as a soft copy stored in the memory of sophisticated
handsets, sourcing answers from outside the hall through the medium of text
messages, using machineries to write examinations illegally and writing
examinations for which they were not registered.
This
investigation was prompted by series of evidence across Nigeria. For example,
in a discussion with a student after the first semester examination conducted
by the department of microbiology at the university of port Harcourt during the
2010/2011 session it was revealed that a candidate, a year two micro biology
student estimated to be about 30years old (official age 26) was found writing
an examination for which he was not registered. Investigation revealed that he
was admitted through the UME/post UME process with scores of 211 and 80
respectively and a means of 146.An evaluation of his computerized speed-sheet
for years one 2009/2010 Session showed a CGPA of 0.14 .further investigation
revealed that the student had been out
of school for about 10 years before finally gained admission through ‘’concession’’
to read micro biology. The observation that the candidate had a very low score
in the post-UME screening test, and still gained admission prompted this study
which aims at investigating the relationship between the cumulative Grade Point
Average [CGPA] of students in the firth year of study and their performance in
the university Matriculation Examination and post UME Screening test, a major
parameter for admission.
1.2 Statement of Problem
The
relationship between UTME, Post UTME score and student academics performance in
universities in Nigeria is raising a dust. Akinniyi [2011] Notes that most
students who perform well in UTME get admitted into universities through the
influence of their ‘god fathers’. Though the scope of god father can get them
admission, work in later years. Akinniyi (2010 emphasizes that first year grade
of students may not after all show an relationship
with their UTME score. It is against
this background that this study poised
to access the correlation between UTME, Post UTME and academic scores of 200
level students of the department of educational management in Tai Solarin
University of Education, Ijebu-Ode, Ogun state in order to justify whether
these reductionist entrance examination
conducted for screening candidates into Nigerian Universities are necessary or
not.
1.3 Research Questions
i. What are the UME and Post UME score
of students under study.
ii. Is there any correlation between UTME,
Post UTME score and student performance in their first year in the university?
iii. What are the academic scores of student in
GNS 111, EDU 111 course in the first semester of their first year in school?
1.4 Hypotheses
H01: There
is no significant correlation between UTME score and academic CGPA of female
student.
H02: There
is no significant correlation between the post UTME score and academic CGPA of
female students
H03: There
is no significant correlation between the UTME score and academic CGPA of male
students
H04: There
is no significant correlation between the post UTME scores and the academic
CGPA of male students
H05: There
is no significant correlation between UTME academic CGPA of all students
H06: There
is no significant correlation between average post UTME scores, CGPA scores of
all the students
1.5 Purpose of the study
The broad
objectives of the study is to evaluate the correlation between UTME, post UTME
and academic performance score of 200 level students in Tai Solarin University
of Education (TASUED)
1.6 Significance of the study
This study
will provide policy makers with evidence and reference materials for policies
making in educations. It will also provide further researchers with a premise
on which other researcher can be conducted.
1.7 Scope of the Study
It is
believed that as at the time of this research, 200 level students already have
their CGPA profile available with them. The selection of students is also
limited to the departments in the college of Applied of Education and
vocational Technology.

Academic
