CHAPTER ONE

 INTRODUCTION

1.1        BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

There have been several studies done within and outside Nigeria on the effect of home as well as the socio-economic status of parents on the academic performance of students (Ajila&Olulola, 2007; Uwaifo 2012). Research have found many factors that influence how well a student does in school and the amount of confidence the student have for themselves. However, in Nigeria, like other growing economics, families finding it more difficult to stay connected with their children’s education. This is most common to families living in mega cities such as Lagos where both parent work outside of the home. Carmen (2007) noted that the extended family has become significantly less extended as mobility has increased. Parent are becoming isolated from their children and finding it difficult to keep a careful watch on what needs to be done to help them succeed in school. Many families are not even led by a parent, but by a grandparent, guardian, or some other adult.

Prior to this time, in what is sometimes called a traditional Nigerian family environment, parent were able to monitor the school work of their children carefully and actively participated in parents teachers associations purposely to monitor the progress of their children. Report cards were valued and trusted in the home as an accurate reflection of academic performance. Parent were able to keep in touch with the school and the life of their children in the school, and to monitor success or lack. When children came home from school, homework were completed, assignments finished, other school works weredone.

With the changes in the family life and indeed in societal make up, schools are now finding it increasingly difficult to keep parent informed of an actively engaged in the day-to-day progress of their children (Deslander& Bertrand, 2005) teachers and administrators are discovering that the support they once received in getting student to do their homework is not there, because there are not home to insist that student complete there assignment.

Influence of home environment in students education has been a major topic of study for the later part of the twentieth century. Baumrind (1971) has been credited for defining three specific parental involvement and their consequence for children. These are a) authoritative (b) authoritarian, and (c) permissive involvement of parent in disciplining the child. Baumind describe how parental involvement affect measure of competence, achievement and social development.

Although, student are primary the ones for whom curricula  are designed, textbooks are written, and school built, parent are primarily the ones held responsible for preparing student for learning preparation physically, psychologically, behavoiurally, attitudinally, emotionally and motivationally.

Stenberg and his colleagues conducted surveys focus groups and individual interviews with high school students and parents to better understand how parents, peers and communities influence students commitments to school.

The 10-year longitudinal study collected data from 20,000 (twenty thousand) student and 500 (five-hundred) parents in the nine ethnically diverse school and communities. These researchers found that parentsbehavoiurs send clear and decisive message about their thoughtsand feelings on the importance of schooling, their also found that parenting style helps or hinders a child engagement in school; that encouraging a child to do well in school or insisting that homework be completed were important forms of promoting engagement. These three tenents communication, influence, and parenting style – are subsets of a larger domain, parental involvement.

The aforementioned studies are not the only onces that speak to the issue of parenting involvement, but, here serve only as a way of introducing the broadersphere in this present study, home environment was studied in references to is influence on the academic performance of student in secondary school.
