标题:The relationship among predictors of child, family, school, society and the government and academic achievement of senior secondary school students in Ibadan, Nigeria
摘要:AbstractThe study investigated the relationship among predictors of child, family, school, society and the government and academic achievement of 200 Senior Secondary School Students in Ibadan, Nigeria. The participants were randomly sampled from four secondary schools (two privately and two government owned schools). They ranged in age between 14 and 18 years (Mean=16.5, SD=1.7). Data were collected using Academic Performance Five-Factor Inventory (AP5-FI). Two hypotheses were tested at 0.05 margin of error through multiple regression analysis and t-test statistic. Results showed that over the years, the investigations of the factors that influence academic performance of students have attracted the interest and concern of teachers, counsellors, psychologists, researchers and school administrators in Nigeria. Results showed that society could predict academic achievement. However there were no significant relationship among family, child and government factors and academic achievement.
