STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF STUDENT’S PERFORMANCE IN O’LEVEL MATHEMATICS AND PHYSICS IN AHMADIYA COMMUNITY SECONDARY SCHOOL ONDA, NASARAWA LGA, FROM 2010-2020

ABSTRACT

This research work is titled statistical analysis of student’s performance in O’ Level Mathematics and Physics in Ahmadiya Community Secondary School Onda, Nasarawa L.G.A, from 2010-2020. It is aimed at determining the relationship between the students’ performance in physics and mathematics at O’ Level. Time series was employed and findings show that there is increase in the number of students that passed both physics and mathematics. Implying that the number of students that passed both mathematics and physics at O’Level in the period considered are more than those who failed both subjects which may be attributed to the adequate teaching facilities and interest in the part of the students. With the help of correlation analysis, it was observed that the relationship between both subjects (mathematics and physics) is positive and weak. The following recommendations were however made, that there should be periodic seminars and workshops to improve teachers’ capability and adequacy and more so encourage the students with the necessary assistance.

CHAPTER ONE

1.1     BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

Physical is a universal subject. It is used all over the world by its users for easy use of our everyday life and environmental studies and for more effectively in technology.

Mathematics on the other hand is the science of structure, Order and relation that has evolve through elemental practices of counting, measuring and describing of objects. It deals with logical reasoning and quantitative calculation. Its development as involve in an ever increasing degree of idealizations and abstraction. Mathematics is traditionally categorized under the following branches; arithmetic, algebra, analysis, combinations, Euclidean geometry, game theory, number theory, number analysis, optimization, probability, set theory, statistics and trigonometry. Perhaps, the most basic notation in mathematics is the equation, a formal statement that two sides of a mathematical expression are equal (as in the equation 2x – 3=13) and that both side of the equation can be simultaneously  manipulated by adding, subtracting, dividing, taking root etc in order to solve the equation.

1.2     STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

1. The result of student in the senior school certificate examination    (SSCE) has been a concern to the parents, the students, the teachers and even the government.
2. This student performances in O’ level usually occurred in physics and mathematics, for the science students which are one of the basics requirement needed by O’ level student for further learning.
3. In Nigeria today, the education sector needs to be amend, since sector is not preparing today’s students with necessary skills to become engineer, lawyers, scientists etc. schools, parents as well as government needs to find possible ways through research to improve student method of learning and provide students with rich experiences In physics, mathematics as well as other school subject as the students progress through the school system.

1.3     AIM AND OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY  

1. To determine the relationship between students’ performance in physics and mathematics at O’ level.
2. To fit a trend line.
3. To forecast the performances of students in physics and mathematics.

1.4     SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

The study of physics and mathematics will help Ahmadiya Community Secondary School Nasarawa, Nasarawa state government as well the government of the federation to known the performance of the student in physics and mathematics at O’ level. The study wills the student, their parents and their teachers to know the previous performance of the past student in order to plan well for their success. The study will also help to provide ways of improving student’s performance in physics and mathematics as well as other subject based on the facts findings.

1.5     DELIMITATION OF THE STUDY

The area covered by this research work is Government Science Secondary School Nasarawa, Local Government Council and the period to be considered will be 2002 to 2014.

1.6     LIMITATION OF THE STUDY

This research work will be limited to the study area because of time constraint and inadequate resources to go and collect data from other secondary school the state.

1.7     RESEARCH QUESTION

The study examined the following questions for the selected group of student in Ahmadiya Community Secondary School Nasarawa, students meeting the study criteria were examined in terms of the following research questions.

1. What is the relationship between student’s achievement in the both Physics and Mathematics senior school certificate examination (SSCE) and the level of instructional funding per students?
2. What is the relationship between student performance in physics and mathematics on the SSCE and the average years of the teacher’s experience?
3. What is the relationship between student’s achievement in physics and mathematics in O’ level and the attendance rate of teacher’s experience?

 HYPOTHESIS

The hypothesis below was tested based on students’ performance in O’ level physics and mathematics.

H_O: There is no statistically significant relationship between student performance in physics and mathematics at O’ level

H₁: There is statistically significant relationship between student performance in physics and mathematics at O’ level

1.8     DEFINITION OF TERMS

PERFORMANCE: the action or achievement of study considered in relation to how successful it is to student in secondary school.

O’LEVEL ordinary level of student s compare a level called S.S.C.E.

S.S.EC.E: Senior School Certificate Examination

STUDENT: A person who is studying at a school, especially a secondary school. 

RESULT: The mark/grade student gets in an examination or in a number of examination.
