EVALUATION
OF STUDENTS ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT IN MATHEMATICS IN THE JUNIOR SECONDARY SCHOOL
ABSTRACT
This study
was on the evaluation of students achievement in mathematics in the junior
secondary school in Ndokwa West local government area. Eight (8) schools where
selected, four from urban and four from rural area were selected. The
instrument used for the study was the results of year 2011, fro the result of
the study and the discussion of findings, it shows that the student academic
achievement is poor and the poor is as a result of some influential factors.
Such as attitude of students toward the subject mathematics and teachers
personality. Then, the researcher there came up with some recommendation and
suggestion which can aid the improvement of student’s academic achievement in
the junior secondary school result.
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
Background of the study Mathematics has played an important role in the
educational system of Nigeria. The scientific and technological status of the
nation depends on a small; knowledge of mathematics. In history, early
measurement approaches for evaluation is based on informal and formal form. The
first written best were probably the informally written examination used by
Chinese at 2, 200BC. To people into civil services the coral examination
initiated by Socrates in the 5th century BC was also inform. In the informal
form evaluations were value are assigned by judgment. The formal form of
evaluation implies to process of testing in measuring in this examination is
conducted to determined the ability of pupils/students. The teacher have been
groomed into conducting final examination, reporting the grade, and making the
same available to the presents, the actual testing movement as it is known
today is less than one hundred year old. In Nigeria, there are much
organization as the west Africa Examination Council and the General certificate
for education (WAEC/GCE), National Examination council (NECO), the joint
Admission and matriculation Board (JAMB). The WAEC was established first in the
31st December, 1951 in Gambia and in Nigeria 1952Neco was established in 2000.
JAMB which was established in changes with the responsibility of conducting
university common entrance examination exercises. Lastly the junior secondary
school certificate examination has first written in the year 1987 from the year
1987 till now is about 22 years, therefore for this reason, this research wok
is carried out to evaluate students academic achievement in mathematic in the
junior secondary school. I Nigeria, there is a burning desire to make sure that
every child has the slightest idea about his environment and the academic
achievement of a child. According to Dartan Williams (1990) stated that there
is no clear agreement in the dividing line between rural and urban schools. One
might note that the term rural school has no concrete numerical limits, dhdsghd
green and Sterlen (1988, 11) one certainly might “in the first place of the 69
key report only 27 mention any numbers at all in their analysis of urban versus
rural schools. In the second place, the sjhja limits for a “rural” school in
those 27 documents ranges from 200 to 100 students and other ranges from
“urban” schools is 3000 to 5000 students, William however write that: On
average, the research indicates that an effective size from an elementary
school is in the range of 300-400 students and that 400-800 students is
appropriate for a secondary school (7-8) while many researchers argue that no
school should be large than 400-500 students. I use William’s number in this
report, since my own sense of the research is very similar. Many parents in the
urban and rural areas and some students may not realized the role performance
by mathematics in the present day development the fact is that most students
enter secondary school without suffering the basic pre-requisite knowledge to
cope with the subject mathematics, in addition these students already have
their believe that mathematics deals with abstract before coming into secondary
schools. Mathematics is very useful and important subject. It is important
through all aspect of life. Hence there is need to study mathematics in our
schools. Mathematics is defined by advance Learners Dictionary as a science of
size and numbers of which arithmetic, algebra, geometry, statistics are
components. Mathematics can also be defined as the study of logical consequence
sets of axioms and postulates, it comprises of two branches. Analysis and
algebra concerned respectively with continuous and discuss variation.
Mathematics is the language communication of a society; that is the society
that communicates mathematics in positive direction will be a better society in
all field of life. The importance of this subject is in all field of life. The
importance of this subject cannot be over emphasized because mathematic is an
inherentance of the race; therefore mathematic as been existing for long before
other subject come into existence in the school curriculum. Mathematics had
made it easy to the proper understanding of the formulation and structure of
science which has sensed a basic pre-requisite for curriculum planner at the
national and local linfh mathematic has recently achieved along with other
branches of learning, a new changes in learning have led to the recommendation
of the mathematic curriculum. He following list according to Douglas and Ray
(1974:349-351) summarizes these needs new skill because of urgent need to
develop the natural resources of the country it was felt that emphasis should
be placed on functional education that will help utilize the elites of the
nation and education that will help create things. The practical need of the
nation called for functional, education that is the education in which the
ability to perform productive tasks is more emphasized than he education that
aim at producing PROPle with gust theoretical minds hence science, holding
mathematics have been advocated in recent education expectation for schools.
Mathematics is also been found extremely useful in the development scientific
knowledge like the discovering of light and sound in physics, in social
science, in economics and sociology and in subject related o the earth and its
movement in geography. It is well known that mathematics is the language medium
for teaching and learning of science an other science related subjects with
these put together. It is necessary for the school to take the teaching and
learning of mathematics serious with regards to the importance of mathematics
above, for any country or society to be technologically self reliant, the role
of mathematics cannot be over emphasized. Educationist, past and present seems
to ignore importance of mathematics which should be attach to the level of
achievement of students performance in urban and rural junior secondary school
mathematics examination. Denise C. Golfrideson (1985) states that urban schools
appear to promote negative teacher percentage of school administrated and low
staff moral. There is less research on school size in relation o smaller school
Emberts, Kehoe, Stone (1982), Gottfredson (1985), Gregory (1992), Johnson
(1990), Miller, Ellorworth and Litoral (1992), Slockard and Maybeny (1992),
these researcher examined administration attitude, their work, administration,
and teacher attitude toward their work, these administration and one another as
well as the incidence of co-operation. Also, statistics show that it is evident
to students school administration and parents that despites the emphasis in
making mathematics a compulsory subject and daily taught subject in junior and
senior secondary schools. These has been continuous poor academic achievement I
mathematic in J.S.S examination take a good look at the evaluation of students
is both urban and rural area in Ndokwa West local Government Area of Delta
State.
