EFFECT OF STUDY HABITS ON THE ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF ADULT
LEARNERS
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF
THE PROBLEM
The responsibility of
training a child always lies in the hand of the parents. This is congruent with
the common assertion sociologist that education can be an instrument of
cultural change which is being taught from home is relevant ion this discuss.
It is not out of place to imagine that parental socio-economic can have
possible effects on the academic achievement of children in school. Whatsoever
affect the development environment of children would possibly affect their
education or disposition to it. Parental status is one of such variables. When
a woman’s nutritional status improves, so too does the nutrition of her young
children (Lisa et. al, 2003). Rothestein has asserted as follows; Parents of
different occupation classes often have different styles of child rearing,
different ways of discipline their
children and different ways of reacting to their children. These differences do
not express themselves consistently as expected in the case of every family,
rather they influence the average tendencies of families for different
occupational classes. (Rothestein, 2004).
In line
with the above ascertain, Hill etal (2004) had also argued that socio-economic
status of parents do not only affect the academic performance, but also makes
it possible for children from low background to compete well with their
counterparts from high socio-economic background under the same academic
environment. Moreover, Smith, Fagan and Ulvund (2002) had asserted that
significant predicator of intellectual performance at age of 8 years included
parental socio-economic status
Socio-economic status and host of other factors relating to home
environment of student such as educational background of parents, health status
of students, parental occupation and family size could affect the children
academic achievement.
Socio-economic status can be defined as a person’s overall social
position to which attainments in both the social and economic domain
contribute. (Ainley etal, 1995).
Socio-economic status is determined
by individual achievements in education, employment, occupational status,
income and wealth. Several parents may provide higher levels of psychological
support for their children through environment that encourage the development
of skills necessary for success at school (Williams etal, 1980, Williams, 1987,
Williams etal 1993).
Socio-economic status is commonly conceptualized as the social standing
or class of an individual or group. It is often measured as a combination of
education, income and occupation. Examinations of socio-economic status often
reveal inequities in access to resources, plus issues related to privilege,
power and control.
The
children that comes from low socio-economic households develop academic skills
more slowly compared to the children from higher socio-economic background. The
rates of school drop out can be traced to the socio-economic status of the
parents.
The financial resources or time availability of parents that
are of low socio-economic background can not be compared to that of the high
socio-economic background. It is very well known that children’s educational
outcomes vary sharply with their parents’ socio-economic background.
Differences in out comes with parental background emerge early at the
pre-school level and are re-inforced in childhood and the teenage years through
to tertiary education.
