Introduction
1.1
Background
To The Study
Over
the last decades, multiple attempts have been made to estimate an education production
functions, linking various socioeconomic
factors to an indicator of students’ performance.
This
empirical literature, however, had led to ambiguous results. In particular. No
mechanical relationship between the amount of resources fed the educational
system and pupils performance has been identified (e.g. Coleman, 1966);
Hanushak, 2003; Woessmann, 2000). In this context, some authors suggested
paying more attention to the organizational aspects of the schooling process
and in particular to the specific incentive structures which prevail within
schools (Hanushak, 1997, Bishop et al 2000).
In
recent years policymakers at the federal, state and local levels have worked to
increase accountability in our education system by measuring student’s performance
and raising standards. These joint efforts have equipped policymakers,
educators and parents with the tools needed to grade not only students but
also their schools. With the groundwork
set, it is curricle that parents take advantages of opportunities for
involvement in their children learning experience and play an active role in
ensuring education excellence. During the last two decades, higher education
institutions have invested heavily in information and communication
technologies (ICT) ICT has had a major impact in the university context, in
organization and teaching and learning method.
One
puzzling question is the effective impact of these technologies on student’s
achievement and on the returns of education.
Many
academics researchers have tried to answer this question at the theoretical and
empirical levels. They have faced two main difficulties, on one and student’s
performance is hard to observe and on the other, ICT is involving technologies
and there effects are difficult to isolate from their environment.
There
is no standard definition for student performance the approach focus on
achievement and curricula, how students understand courses and obtain their
degrees or their makes. However, a move extensive definition deals with
competencies, skills and attitudes learned through the education experience the
narrow definition allows the observation of the outcomes of any change in
higher education, while the more extensive definition needs a more complex
strategy of observation and a focus on
labour market the outcomes of education are mainly validated in the labour
market.
The
relationship between the use of ICT and student performance in higher education
is not clear, and there are contradictory results in the literature. Earlier,
economic research has failed to provide a clear consensus concerning the
affection student’s achievement.
Institutional
and organization variables also have consistent effect more precisely, schools
autonomy in the recruitment of teachers has a strong positive influence on
students’ performance.
We
used the program for international students’ assessment (PISA 2000).
Cross
section data to estimate the impact of organizational and institutional factors
on students’ performance (controlling for individual characteristics).
In
other to take into account hierarchical nature of the data, we introduced a
country fixed-effect and school random effect in our regression model of
education production function.
1.2 Statement Of The Problem
Over
the years, there have been many researches to investigate the effect of
socioeconomic background of students on their academic performance
Researches
have been conducted to find out.
i.
How does the socio-economic background
affect the academic performance of the learners?
ii.
Do the teachers’ characteristics have
effect on student’s performance?
iii.
Does the students socio-economic
characteristics affect their education performance?
iv.
Does the educational environment have
impact on students’ performance?
v.
What are the impacts of ICT on student
performance in higher education: Direct effects indirect effects and
organization change?
Also
the researches work originated as a result of late coming to school; not
performing well in their class-work and the effect on indiscipline of the
student with special reference to Awori College Ojo.
1.3
Purpose
Of The Study
The
purpose of the study is summarized as
follows
i.
To find out how the economic of the
parent affect the academic of the student.
ii.
To find out the economic of the parent
affect the academic of the student.
iii.
To find out why students are been
affected by their socio-economic background on their academic performance.
iv.
To find out some other factors that
affect student’s academic performance.
v.
To find out the relationship been the
use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and student performance
in higher education.
1.4 Research Hypotheses
Ho1: Socio-economic
background does not have a significant relationship on academic performance of
the students.
Ho2: Educational
background of the parents has a significant relationship on the academic
performance of the students
1.5 Significance Of The Study
The
result and out come of this study will provide the basis for effective guidance
by parents and guardians to modify the students’ behaviour towards their
academic performance.
Also
the research will re-orientated parents and guardians on the effect of socio
economic background on child’s education attainment in life.
ICT
play a role on student’s achievement. They found significant, but low, positive
impact on students performance due to ICT use. But they showed that some ICT
seems to be positively correlated to performance while others are not (Sosin et
al 2004).
PISA.
Showed that while bivartate correlation between the availability of ICT and
students’ performance is strongly and significantly positive, the corrections
becomes small and insignificant when other student’s environmental
characteristics are taken into consideration.
On
this note, the study would delivery secondary education from the state of
failure and dropping-out if only some of its findings are actualized.
1.6 Delimitation Of The Study
This
study will focus mainly on students and parents with reference to District V of
Lagos State Secondary Schools
1.7 Limitation Of The Study
Due
to shortage of time and resources at the disposal of the researcher and
inability of major educational actors to give out information cornering
research work.
1.8 Operational Definition of Terms
Socio economic background:
the socio economic background of the parents also have a significant
relationship on the academic performance of the students e.g if a the parents
of a particular student s so poor, this will tell on the student performance,
because that child will not be able to afford his or her text book and at a
particular time he/she does not feed well. A hungry student will not pay
attention in class when he is so hungry etc.
