A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE PERFORMANCE OF MALE AND FEMALE SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS
ABSTRACT
This study
compared the performance of male and female secondary school students in Sokoto
State using Government Day Secondary School, Arkilla, Sokoto as a case study.
The research centered on finding out the level of performance of secondary
school students in Sokoto State and the factors that militate against good
performance of secondary school students; as factors such as poverty,
inadequate and obsolete infrastructural facilities, indiscipline, and
inappropriate curriculum were considered. Three research questions were
formulated based on the above. Two questionnaires ( for students and teachers)
were constructed and administered first to students and teachers of Government
Day Secondary School, Runjin Sambo, Sokoto as a pilot study . Afterwards, the
same questionnaires were administered to 196 students and 20 teachers of
Government Day Secondary School, Arkilla, Sokoto. The data obtained were
analysed using frequency and percentage statistical tools. The findings
revealed that females have better performance than males at the secondary
level. It also showed that the performance of secondary school students in
Sokoto State is on the average. In addition, the findings revealed that the
factors earlier mentioned militate against good performance of secondary school
students. There were discussions on the educational implications and some
recommendations were proffered.
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background to the Study
Over the
years, the academic performance of students in secondary schools has been a
source of worry to teachers, parents, educational administrators and the
society at large. This is more evident in the fact that the input has not
always been equivalent to the output. In other words, the knowledge impacted on
students by teachers is not always seen reflecting on their performance.
Formal
education which is practiced in schools cannot be complete without a
certificate being given out. Before any certificate is given to any student,
especially at the secondary level, there must have been an examination which
would qualify such student for the next class. This kind of examination continues
until a student reaches SS3, when he/she is expected to sit for West African
School Certificate Examination (WASCE), and National Examination Council
Examination (NECO) which are external examinations.
The
importance of promotional examinations in secondary schools cannot be
overemphasized for several reasons. The foremost reason for any promotional
examination is that it remains the only criterion for allowing any student to
move to the next class. A student is not expected to move to the next class
after having failed the promotional examination, which takes place in third
term of any academic session.
Previous
studies on the performance of students were almost generalized for both
genders. Not much has been done in attempting a comparison of the performance
of males and females. This could be due to the fact that several researchers
have failed to consider the possibility of having differences in the
performance of both genders. If this is the case, it implies that different
approaches and effort are required to assist the weaker gender.
The
researcher is interested in comparing the performance of male and female
secondary school students. This extends to finding out whether there is
difference between the performance of males and females at secondary school
level.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
The main way
of showing the academic ability of any student is by having a close check on
the student’s performance. Records from previous works show that at certain
periods, males have performed better than their female counterparts (Oladeji
& Tayo, 2011).
