Title

FACTORS INFLUENCING STUDENTS’ ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE IN SENIOR SECONDARY SCHOOLS MATHEMATICS IN UKWUANI L.G.A, DELTA STATE, NIGERIA.

Abstract

This study is aimed to investigate the factors influencing the poor performance of students and to establish the strategies that can be adopted to improve performance in Mathematics by students in Ukwuani L.G.A, Delta State secondary schools in Nigeria. The study determined the school based factors that affect students’ performance in Mathematics in secondary schools, socio-cultural factors that affect them and their personal factors that affect their performance in Mathematics, and established the strategies that can be adopted to improve performance in Mathematics. Descriptive survey research design was adopted for the study. The target population was of 367 SSS 3 and sample of 100 students in 10 secondary schools with 55 males and 45 females, 10 Mathematics teachers and 5 Head teachers. The data for the research was collected by use of three questionnaires; students, teachers and head teachers. Factors contributing to poor performance include inadequate teaching/learning materials, lack of interest/confidence and Language used by the teachers. Improving on these factors and sensitization of the local community to discard practices which prohibit student’s effective participation in learning mathematics could improve performance in Mathematics. It is anticipated that the findings of this study will give curriculum developers new insights into emerging issues on performance and influence the Ministry of Education in the state and at the federal level on policy formulation that will enhance the achievements in secondary school Mathematics. Students are also expected to benefit from the findings; because improved mathematics performance will give them opportunities to pursue science related courses in higher institutions of learning and middle level colleges.
