TRENDS OF
ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF JUNIOR SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS IN INTERGRATED
SCIENCE, MATHEMATICS AND COMPUTER SCIENCE FROM YEAR 2000 – 2003
ABSTRACT
The research
investigated Trends of Academic performance of Junior Secondary School students
in Integrated Science, Computer and Mathematics from year 2000-2003. This study
is a survey research design. It is a research conducted on the result of
students from year 2000-2003. The population of the study consist of 8 selected
secondary school, the study was carried out in Enugu South Local Government.
The area belongs to Enugu Educational zone. The instrument use was the
performance of students from 2000-2003.
CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
According to
otti 9200) education is derived from intin words “ex” which means “out” and
“discare” which “to lead out” he conduces that education is a leading out from
something bad and undesirable to something good and desirable notably ignorance
“darkness primitive life, poverty, disease, slavery, superstition pride,
indiscipline, bad habits to knowledge, light” civilized life comfortable
living, healthy life freedom scientific living, humility discipline and good habits.
Education is one of the social institutions specifically designed to transmit
knowledge, skills attitude and values of society to younger generation for that
society to live on.
Education is the development of the whole
man to be acquainted with all things (comerive)
Prof .A.
Babs fafunwa defined education as an aggregate of all the process by means of
which a person develops abilities, attitudes and other forms of behaviour of
positive value in the society in which we lives Fafunwa reverse (2004-3).
Education
may be tentatively defined as the process by which an individual acquires
experiences that will function in more efficiently on his future action
(Bagley).
FORMS OF
EDUCATION
1. Informal Education
2. formal Education
informal
education: it is a type of learning process where there is no organizational
structure set in place for the purpose of teaching and learning. It is the
first learning process available in any society, where by the young are made to
learn the way of life of the society, the family as the first port of call for
any child introduce the child (learner) into the general way of life eating,
talking, sitting, walking, dancing, cooking, sweeping beliefs, norms etc is to
equip the younger generation on the acceptable way of life in the society this
was the earliest form of education in Nigeria before the introduction of
western type of education.
Akafor (2003.7) defines it as the
system with which people in a traditional society transmitted their culture
with its roots and dynamics from generation to generation.
FORMAL
EDUCATION
This is also literacy or schooling type
of education in Nigeria the Moslem and Christian missionaries introduced this
form of education into Nigeria on the year 1840 (Dr Patrick Onyia sociology of
education Nov 2002)
This form of education take place in an
organized education setting with planned curriculum, teachers, learners
educational administrators, administrative blocks, classroom and other
instructional materials. In formal education we have Nursery, primary,
secondary and tenting institution.
NURSERY
EDUCATION
This is a programme provided for those
between three and form years and could rightly be referred to as pre-school or
pre-kin dergerten education.
It provides well planned programmes of
creative play socialization and beginning subject area skills like oral
language, mathematics, science, art with the active involvement of parents. It
prepares children and awakens their interest in all school related activities.
It provides opportunities for studies in social studies and sciences
development of oral language skills and introductory instruction in mathematics
arts/ music, health and physical activities
PRIMARY
EDUCATION
This is also know as elementary
education in many countries and as the period of formal school for children
from six to twelve or thirteen years this provides an opportunity for acquiring
and laying of solid foundation in languages, arts, social studies, science,
mathematics, music and physical education.
SECONDARY
EDUCATION
This is education for children from
thirteen to fourteen or fifteen years this provides an opportunity for
acquiring new practice of young youths and developing their interest in
education, secondary school in Enugu state are basically divided into two sections
the Junior secondary and the senior secondary the projects will concentrated
mainly on junior secondary school.
School are expected to influence
student learning socialization and even vocational prepare dness. Academic
instruction is arguably , it was poor performance that spawed the recent era of
reform. The measurement of academic performance particularly for students with
disabilities continues to be a controversial topic among policy makers
measurement experts and educators (1998) Johnson 2000 elliott and koretz)
1.1
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
In about two centuries ago, the kind of
education that is obtained in this society (Nigeria was informal traditional
education which serves to integrate the individual the wider community in which
he/she is born. This kind of education of course takes place in every human
society even till today. However the kind of education we are shall consider in
this research work is the type of education know as the formal education. This
type is the one that takes place in the four walls of the classroom, the type
that come into Nigeria on the year 1840 through the early missionaries (Dr
Patrick Onyia sociology of education Nov. 2002). Education is one of the social
institutions specifically designed by the society to transmit knowledge,
skills, attitude and values of society to younger generation in order to carry
out the efficient and effective transmission on of skills, values knowledge,
language is the only verbal means of communication. Before one can learn to
appreciate the world around him (science) he must have known the importance of
such thing. Integrated science which is the observation study and use of the
world around us mathematics and computer are important subjects in Junior
secondary school.
Integrated science were heirted from
the colonial masters as subject of study mathematics and computer science is
the vehicle through which knowledge, skills values and habits (elements of
science) are transmitted into the students of junior secondary school.
In primary school mathematics is
studied and called mathematics is studied and called mathematics while
integrated science is studies as primary science computer is also studies and
called computer science and this primary science later become know as
intergraded science in secondary school level. Integrated science transmit such
elementary knowledge like human system organs of the body their functions and
how to take care of them the classes of food and their nutritional values, various
living organisms non- living organism, chemical elements the plannents how to
make use of simple instruments and chemicals how to keep our food and body
clean.
Ionfact as the name implies integrated
science links all know ledge of science. It goes as far as bringing to
knowledge all that is known in the physical world around us in their primary
elementary forms. This project is set up to know the trends in Academic
performance of Junior secondary school in integrated science computer and
mathematic in Enugu educational zone from (2000-2003)
1.2
STATEMENT OF THE STUDY
Secondary
school students performances in external examinations has been a nagging issues
in Nigeria generally and particularly in Enugu Sourth local Government area,
Enugu State.
Language is a medium of institution,
for teaching and learning to take place effectively there must be adequate
communicating between the leaner and the teacher in Nigeria, English language
is a “lingual franke” except in vernacular, it is used in communicating the
learner in all Nigeria school the importance of English language can hardly be
overemphasized that is why it appears almost everyday in the school time table
unfortunately, a cursory look at the performance of students in mathematics in
particular computer and inter science in internal examination in Enugu south
Local Government area is nothing to write home about. Since computer and
integrated science are relatively new in development of science and technology,
the researchers would want to find out why there is an always recorded low
performance in mathematics, computer and integrated science from 2000 – 2003 on
case study.
1.3 PURPOSE
OF THE STUDY
Based on the
background and the problem of this study, the main purpose underlying the
project is to know the trends of Academic performance of Junior Secondary
schools student in inter science computer and mathematics from 2000 – 2003 (A
case Study of J s s 2 student).
1.4
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
The
usefulness of the research work in educational system cannot be overemphasized
if the result of the study is properly utilized. It is going to be benefit to
the students, teacher, parents and government. This would help to provide some
Information for curriculum designers and classroom teachers in order to utilize
relevant approaches to mathematics, integrated science and computer science
students.
This the
knowledge of student congnitive style and attitude would be very useful on
bother academic and career enhancement.
1.5 SCOPE OF
THE STUDY
In every
research project this project has it’s scopes and limits within which a
verifiable, acceptable efficient, effective and reliable solution to the
problem being investigated can be found. Therefore this research concentrates
mainly on some selected Junior secondary school in Enugu South.
