IMPACT OF
LEARNING ENVIRONMENT ON THE PERFORMANCE OF STUDENTS IN SOCIAL STUDIES IN JUNIOR
SECONDARY SCHOOLS
ABSTRACT
This study
examined the Impact of Learning Environment on the Performance of Students in
Social Studies in Junior Secondary Schools in Taraba State, Nigeria. Four (4)
objectives which include, to determine the impact of classroom building on the
performance of JSS students in Taraba State and to determine the impact of the
adequate class furniture on the performance of JSS students in Taraba State
were formed to guide the study, four (4) research questions and four (4)
hypotheses were formulated in line with the objectives. Population for the
study comprised twenty five thousand three hundred (25, 3000) JSS students from
two hundred (200) public secondary schools in Taraba State. Purposive sampling
technique was used to select two renovated and two dilapidated schools.
Thereafter, two large sized classes of JSS III were selected from two of the
schools, another two small sized classes were selected from the other two
schools, giving a total of 4 intact classes and students from these classes
formed the sample size of 200 for this study. Quasi-experimental research
design involving pre-test, post-test and non-equivalent design group was used
for the study. The research instrument used for data collection was Social
Studies Achievement Test (SSAT) that contained 20 items and was adopted from
Junior Secondary School Certificate Examination (JSSCE) conducted in Taraba
State between 2008 and 2012. Independent t-test was used to test the hypotheses
at 0.05 level of significance, while mean and standard deviation were used to
analyze the research questions. Findings from the study showed that all the
hypotheses were rejected. The findings revealed that there was a significant
difference in the performances of the two groups (Experimental and Control).
This revealed that a classroom building; class with adequate furniture; class
with small class population and the use of instructional materials were found
to have positive impact on the performance of students in Junior Secondary
schools in Taraba State. Based on the findings of the study, the researcher
concludes that conducive learning environment is very essential for effective
teaching and learning and recommendations were made among which includes, that
government and other education stakeholders should make concerted efforts to
build more classrooms in secondary schools that would help to reduce problem of
overcrowding and create enabling teaching and learning environment; that
adequate furniture should be provided and students should be oriented on how to
maintain these facilities because most a times students destroy these
facilities by themselves.
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background to the Study
Education is
the most important component of human resources development and is accorded a
pride of place in many countries‟ developmental activities. There is no doubt
that the importance of education cannot be underscored because there is no
country that has succeeded without educating its people. Education according to
Osokoya (2009) helps to improve security, health, prosperity and ecological
balance in the world. It encourages social, economic and cultural progress,
tolerance, national and international cooperation. Akomolafe (2009) describes
education as a single most effective means of curbing population growth,
reducing child mortality, eradicating poverty and ensuring democracy, peace and
sustainable development.
Education is
an instrument for the acquisition of appropriate skills, ability and competence
both mental and physical also as equipment for individual to live and
contribute to the development of his/her society (Lawal, 2003).
