CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
So many
reasons have been advanced for the poor performances of students in schools
prominent among them are the negligence of duty of teachers and parents.
Parents seems to depend only on teachers with the believe to change or
transform their children to academic experts over night, and anything that
falls below this expectation makes the teachers conduct unacceptable.
Few
people care to think of other factors responsible for poor performances of
students at school. Unfortunately, these factors are so weighty that, it
renders the important efforts made by the teachers towards the realization of
students academic useless. It is widely accepted that c child’s academic achievement
does not only restrict to the school he attends but also the education and
educational preparation that particular child has received outside the school.
It could be from the family, in the community and from the peer group.
According
to Peter Gorski (2004) Awake ‘child’s early years what should parents do?’ “It
has been noticed that the foundational background of any child should be
properly lay down, else such particular child will face a lot of difficulties
in future. Some students who are very brilliant were negatively affected by the
attitude of their parents, by not providing them the necessary materials needed
in the school and at home.
Apparently,
it is now noted that students whose parents encourages and provides their
educational needs always perform excellently. It was discovered that many
parents do not realized the importance of keeping their children at school
beyond some certain level. They preferred to have their children working with
them in their trade, and those that are interested in keeping their children at
school, never bordered to give a follow up by checking their children’s note.
This medium makes the children performance to go below average at school.
STATEMENT OF PROBLEMS
A lot of
various factors have contributed to the effect of parents academic background
on pupils performances in Egor L. G. A. of Edo State. Parents educational
background can pose a positive or negative expectation from students
performance. Such as provision of materials and resources which can support learning.
Some families can hold firm to their cultural value which may affect their
children. For example, the assumption parents make about choosing an
occupational goal for their children.
According
to Adefemiwa (1995) he said that when students are given academic assignment to
perform at home, some respond to it positively and return with a poorly work
done, while others do not make any attempt. In addition, when students are
asked to bring materials from home to aid their learning, some responded
positively while others responded negatively.
Therefore,
the researcher intends to investigate the conditions surrounding the academic
performances of pupils. To this end, the research work intends to provide
answers to the following questions;
1)
Broken home can lead to poor academic
performance in school
2)
Parents academic background can lead to
low academic performance
3)
Non-providing of educational needs can as
well lead to poor result in academic performance of pupils.
4)
The environment can also cause poor
performances of the pupils
PURPOSE OF STUDY
The
purpose of this research work is to examine the effect of academic background
of parents on academic performance of pupils. The difficulties which parents
experienced during their periods of schooling or the type of job they involved
which has made them to deviate from their family responsibilities has been a
way of robbing the children of their sound academic performances. Solution will
be suggested in reducing poor performance among students.
