COMPARATIVE
STUDY OF STUDENT PERFORMANCE IN WAEC BIOLOGY, CHEMISTRY AND ENGLISH FROM 2004 –
2008
ABSTRACT
Comparative study of student
performance in WAEC biology, chemistry and English from 2004 – 2008 in Enugu
North Local Government Area.
In this study the researchers want to
know to what extent the student performance in English varies from the
student’s performance in biology and to what extent the student performance in
English vary from chemistry. This has motivated the researcher towards
reviewing all the related literature necessary on the performance of the
student in WAEC. The population of the study is all the candidate that took
chemistry, biology and English in WAEC from 2004 to 2008 in Enugu North Local
Government Area in Enugu State, four (4) school were selected for this study
which are:
1. City Girls Secondary School
2. Urban Girls Secondary School
3. Queens Secondary School
4. Metropolitan Girls Secondary School
The
instrument for the data collection is self reporting inventories which was
collected through the vice principal of the sampled schools, the data collected
is the total score of the student who took chemistry, biology and English
language from 2004 to 2008, the statistically tools used in the data analysis
is person correlation co-efficient i.e.
N∑XY - ∑X∑Y
(N∑X2 –
(∑X)2) [N∑Y2 – (∑Y)2
And the data
analyzed and presented shows that there is significant difference between the student’s
performance in WAEC English and biology and there difference between the
student performance in WAEC English and chemistry the conclusion is that the
student’s performance in science varies from the student’s performance in
English based on the finding and conclusion the following recommendation were
made, employment of qualified science teacher (e) provision of good equipment
for science practical and good training of science teachers.
CHAPTER ONE
Introduction
Background
of the Study
Meaning of academic performance of
student is challenging, since science student performance is the produce of
socio-economic, psychological and environmental factors. Education ought to be
growing as a profitable industry with prime objective of maximizing profit by
delivering high quality education that produces well educated, skilled and
manned student according to needs and requirement of the dynamically growing
market. There are two group of student as generally perceived. That is those
who improve and those who don’t improve. This student performance can be
affected by different factors such as learning abilities because new paradigm
about learning assumes that all student can and should learn at higher levels,
but it should not be considered as constraints because there are other factors
like race, gender, sex that can affect students performances (Hansen 2000).
Meshiachoudis (2001) explained the
effect of age, qualification and distance from learning place on the student
performance. Qualification in his explanation concerns the readiness of student
in joining a particular discipline in the school for instance a student that is
not capable of doing science in the secondary school joins science because
his/her friends are offering the subject.
Kirby (2002) added that the academic
performance of student is also affect by student impatience. Yronne (1998)
further elaborated that student academic performance is very much dependent on
SEB (Socio-economic background) as per his statement secondary school student
performance is with satisfically significant different.
Alexander (2001) explained that some of
the practice adopted by secondary school administration can also influences
their academic performance, such practice like club, media and culture clubs
etc. Meanwhile, looking at the fact that our main focus of this writing is to
compare how student perform or the performance of student offering biology,
chemistry and English in Enugu North Local Government Area from 2004-2008. You find
out that most of the subject are science subject (biology and chemistry), which
involve student who are brain is sharp and hot, not student who’s I que is low
and cannot perform or solve any mathematic problem rather they move to the
simplest subject that they can perform better (i.e. English language etc). That
is why when you go into all this clubs mention above you find out that most of
the student there are not in science class. Science student don’t have time and
chance for all this because of their mathematical involvement reflecting to
point out that they do not have time for grammer”. But of a truth that they do
not have chance of joining some of the above mentioned practice (clubs,
cultural groups and media) which is of great help to passing English Language
in WAEC as it is well known that most of the essay in WAEC are debts. Articles
and letter writing of which the English student do well in the subject because
they joined the practice.
According to Bello an Abuja based
educationist a member of all Nigeria Committee of principals of secondary
schools ANCOPSS. The truth is that the reading culture in Nigeria is generally
poor. To make it worse, these days most of our student hardly read listed they
waste their precious time watching television or films, listening to music,
playing video/computer games.
Another educationist, MOhmud (2009)
attributed the dismal performance in WAEC examination to the lactadaisical
attitude of the government and its refusal to adequately fund the education
sector. According to him on several occasion we clamoured for improved
budgetary allocation to the education sector but all these have fallen on deaf
ears. For instance UNESCO recommend that 26 percent of any country’s budget
should be allocated to the education sectors, but instead what do you have in
Nigeria? Government paying lip service to education sector, other countries who
understand the importance of education have taken, proactive steps to
adequately fund their education sector. For instance Ghana has allocated 29
percent to its education sector, even for more than the UNESCO recommendation.
The same thing with South Africa and but ward who allocated 35 percent and 57
percent respectively to their education sectors. So until these thing are
implemented we would continue to montage the future of our children.
Comparative study refers to the
comparism of different capabilities or abilities of different groups or
individual of the same or different categories wikipedia (2009). Comparative
study of the performance of student in WAEC in biology, chemistry and English
language from 2004-2008 deals with comparing the performance ability of student
in biology chemistry and English language.
Statement of
the Problem
The comparision of student performance
in WAEC has been a confusing issue even to WAEC body as the case may be taken a
close instance as regard this confusion. WAEC could not present the highest or
the best performed student in WAEC each year as they use to do formally as at
1990. This day results are released without comparism and grades to enable
student really know their level of performance when compared to the subjects,
that is why these study focuses on identifying the following;
1. Comparing the performance of student in
biology and English language in WAEC from 2004-2008.
2. Comparing the performance of student in
chemistry and English in WAEC from 2004-2008.
Purpose of
the Study
The main purpose underlying the project
is to investigate the performance of the secondary school student in WAEC
taking their comparative performance on Biology, Chemistry and English Language
from 2004-2008 in Enugu North Local Government Area. The study specifically
seeks to determine.
a. The performance of student in WAEC Biology
and English from 2004 – 2008 in Enugu North.
b. The performance of student in Chemistry and
English language from 2004-2008.
Significant
of the Study
The usefulness of this research work in
education system cannot be over emphasized of the result of the study is
properly utilized, it is going to be benefit to the student because it will
enable them to really know their performance in WAEC in some subject like
chemistry, English and biology etc to either improve on those subjects. The
research work is of great importance to the WAEC officials themselves in that
it will enable them to know the impact of taking a comparative study of the
student performance in WAEC in years interval as this study tries to examine
the performance of student in WAEC in biology, chemistry and English language
from 2004-2008.
It will also help the government to
know the area which the student are lacking behind and to solve the problem
that brings about such lapses.
It will at the same time be of help to parent
so that they know the subject area which their children perform more better.
Scope of the
Study
The study was based on secondary school
student performance in WAEC in biology, chemistry and English language and
restricted to Enugu North Local Government in Enugu State from 2004-2008.
Research
Question
1. To what extent do the students’
performance in English varies from their performance in biology in 2004 – 2008.
2. To what extent do the students
performance in English varies from their performance in chemistry in 2004-2008.
Hypotheses
The
following hypothesis was tested for this study.
1. Ho: There is no significant difference in
the students’ performance in English and biology their performance.
2. Hi: There is significant difference between
English and biology or English and chemistry.
The
hypothesis is confirmed at .05 level of significant.
