FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH MASS FAILURE OF STUDENTS IN PHYSICS IN SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN NSUKKA LGA

ABSTRACT

This study was carried out in order to determine the factors associated with mass failure of students in Physics in secondary schools in Nsukka local government area.

It was born out of the fact that Physics teaching in secondary schools is highly neglecter. The investigation so far carried out covers four secondary schools in the locality.

The findings were based on four basic research questions.

Lack of instructional materials
Students attitude towards the subject (Physics) affects their performance
Teachers teaching methods in Physics affect students performance
Teachers qualification also affect the students performance in Physics,

From the research question it was discovered that the following factors absence of theatres and lack of instructional materials limited and incompetent teachers of the subject were found to be responsible for the inefficient teaching of Physics in schools.

CHAPTER ONE

BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY

Physics has come to stay in this country but the way and manner it is taught has a lot to do in teaching any particular subjects a number of strategies or methodology are often employed according to Thompson (1962) “teaching are those techniques used by the teacher as the most efficient means of achieving the teaching goals”

In the Nigeria national policy on education (1981) it stated that school education should “equip students to live attentively in our modern age of Physics” in accordance with this aim of education, Boge (1979) has this to say, “one major educational problem is preparing the young people to cope with the intellectual and cultural environment characterized by rapid changes”, it is assumed that these young people should have some basic understanding for the Physics

Physics has continued to occupy its separate place and some time, it is often neglected in some schools even where the various branches of Physics are taught they are done without regard for the basic requirement needed in spite of the effort made during the present decade by the federal and state government of Nigeria to give Physics subject their role in education note much has been achieved in some selected schools in Nsukka local government area the effect of the deficiency in teaching Physics in schools are particularly evident in developing countries such as Nigeria

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM

To which extent has the number of students per class in Nigeria which is too unwieldy affect the effective teaching of Physics
In what way does in adequate use of instructional materials makes ineffective the teaching of Physics
Could lack of improvised teaching and by teacher cause ineffective teaching which lead to the students poor performance in Physics
Can bad attitude of teachers towards work affect the effective teaching of Physics
Could lack of instructional materials cause ineffective teaching of Physics

RESEARCH QUESTION

How does lack of theatres and lack of instructional material affect the effective teaching of Physics?
How does students’ attitude towards the subject (Physics) affect their performance in the teaching of Physics?
Does teacher’s qualification also affect students’ performance in effective teaching of Physics/
How does teaching methods in Physics affects students’ performance ineffective teaching of Physics?

HYPOTHESIS

The ineffective teaching of Physics in schools is brought by several factors. The researcher has it in mind that the factors listed below could be responsible for it

Lack of instructional materials
Students attitude towards the subject (Physics) affects their performance
Teacher’s qualification also affect the students performance in Physics
Teacher’s teaching method in Physics affect students performance
With answers to the above, the researcher has it in mind that there is going to be a total change in the teaching of Physics

PURPOSE OF STUDY

The purpose of this study is to find out the problem militating against the teaching of Physics the schools

SIGNIFICANCE OF STUDY

The teaching of Physics has not been as effective as it output to be is easily of students in schools it is therefore necessary to diagnose the various factors responsible for this unheeding state of affairs and proper means by which the anomalies could be arrested

The importance of Physics in the life of man need to be over emphasized therefore if the subject is note effectively taught, the rudiment that are necessary for development of the basic concept of Physics would be lacking at the secondary schools level and this could permeate the other state of the nation’s educational level it is believed that the importance of Physics is well under stood and all the factors responsible for it’s unhealthy development are quickly nipped on the bud it would be possible to build a Physics culture oriented society which will augur well for the healthy development of the nation

SCOPE AND DELIMITION OF STUDY

The study will be restricted to Nsukka Local Government Area in Enugu Enugu State a large number of secondary school is located there hence Nsukka Local Government Area will serve as the centre of the study this will enable one to know the factor militating against effective teaching of Physics

LIMITATION OF STUDY

To carry out a project such as this there are bound to be procedural and methodological flaws inherent in the item developed human biases are likely to aggravate the internal weakness that are likely to exist however, conscious effort will be made to evolve method that will control for such extraneous influences in order to ensure the validity and reliability of the study

It is also expected that distance, times, finance and lack of human co-operation can pose serious threats to the successful execution of this project to this end it is hoped that every effort will be made to minimize, if not totally eliminating such threats and steps taken be highlighted to serve as a guide to those who may wish to replicate the project

DEFINITION OF TERMS

In the course of study, it is important to know what the following terms stand for technology may be defined as the use of organized knowledge to solve practical demonstrations problems

Physics class is a place equipped for studies in Physics
