ACADEMIC
PERFORMANCE OF THE JUNIOR SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS IN INTEGRATED AND COMPUTER
SCIENCE FROM 2004 – 2008 IN ENUGU NORTH LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
Background
of the Study
The academic performance in junior
secondary schools in the country has been of great concern to parents,
scholars, educators and the government at large. A number of seminars,
conferences, symposia and workshop have been organized to look into the
academic performance in sciences in the junior secondary as a take off into
determining the relative academic performance of students in science subjects.
Some people
are of the opinion that students’ performance in science subjects is on the
decline. Conforming this view, Ezewu (1986) lament, only about 40 percent of
Nigerian candidates who sat for the West Africa School Certificate Examination
in the pervious years passed science subjects with credits. The impression from
the forgoing citation is that the percentage of failure in science subject is
on the increase. The fact that problems of education have reached on alarming
stage should not be over emphasized. There is the belief that the standard of
education has fallen.
Many Nigerians and Newspaper columnist
have written and aired their view on this on this issue. Akinbanyi (1992) while
working on the standard/quality in Nigeria education assets that the standard
of Nigerian education has fallen. In recent years, it is a conventional claim which
nobody in the right mind dares dispute.
In view of this, the researches are
motivated to investigate the relative academic performance of the junior
secondary in two science subjects (integrated Science and computer science)
from the year 2004 to 2008 in Enugu North Local Government Area.
These two
science subjects are selected to be the take off into determining the relative
academic performance of junior secondary students in science subjects. This is
because these two science subjects occupy a special position in secondary
school curriculum. They represent the foundation stone for subsequent
instruction in science in later life, for pupils who may wish to pursue a
science related career in life and an introduction to science for others who
may wish to pursue either humanity based on vocational inclined studies.
Integrated
Science for instance is the study of all the branches of science, which
includes Biology, Chemistry and Physics under one Umbrella in order to avoid
repetition of subject matter from various sciences. It is the root of all the
science subjects. Akpan (1983) looking at integrated science said, “it is a
natural response to the shifting views of science that the environment and all
its natural phenomena can best be understood in the context of a unified
scientific approach”. Also Khabele, (1995) said that ‘it is only an integrated
approach in the study of science at early stage that will prepare a scientist
for a proper take off into the existing world of science later in his school
career”.
Statement of
the Study
The increase
decline of students’ performance in science subjects is the concern of all. The
ultimate aim of education is to provide knowledge of the world. In an effort to
do this, knowledge has been divided into a system of studies called subjects
with science as one of the elements of the system.
Integrated
science therefore, attempts a unified view of the world thus some of these
problems arose as a result of giving birth to integrated science and computer
science in junior secondary school curriculum of our school system.
Some of
these problems are: -
The academic
performance of the junior secondary school in integrated science and computer
science.
The
competence of teachers teaching integrated science and computer science in our
schools.
The interest
of students in learning both subjects (integrated and computer science).
The
availabilities of materials for teaching integrated science and computer
science.
The
availability of integrated and computer science laboratories.
Availability
of a stand by generator incase of power failure.
Purpose of
the Study
The major purpose of this study is to
determine the relative academic performance of junior secondary students in
integrated science and computer science from 2004 – 2008 in Enugu North Local
Government Area.
Specifically,
the study is designed to:
Determine
whether the students’ academic performance in integrated science computer
science from 2004 – 2008 is: -
Excellent
Very good
Good
Fair
Poor
If
excellent, what can be done to maintain the excellent level?
If poor,
what can be done to revive the ugly condition?
Factors that
contributed to the excellent or poor performance of the students in integrated
science and computer science from 2004 – 2008. Determine what can be done to
retrieve academic excellent in integrated and computer science among junior
secondary students.
Significance
of the Study
The society at large, government,
policy makers, schools, teachers, guidance counselors, parents, students,
educators will benefit from this research.
This study
will help them to understand and appreciate relative academic performance of
the junior secondary school in integrated science and computer science from
2004 – 2008. The researchers believed that the knowledge which would be
uncovered in the study would assist integrated and computer science teachers
and student teachers in the formulation of methods, programmes designed to
maintain or retrieve excellent academic performance among junior secondary
school students in both integrated and computer science. It will equally serve
as an effective tool for reference purpose to both students, scholars of
education, teachers as well as the general pupils.
Scope of the
Study
The scope of this study is limited to
determine the relative academic performance of the junior secondary school
students in integrated and computer science from 2004 – 2008 in Enugu North
Local Government Area
Research
Questions
What are the
major roles of teachers in the teaching and learning of computer and integrated
science in schools?
What are the
problems confronting teachers in the teaching and learning of computer and
Integrated science subjects in junior secondary school?
