The study has three research questions and objectives and has the following: there is a significant relationship between the qualification of Home economics teachers and the performance of students in WASSCE, there is no significant difference between the perception of students towards the Home economics teachers and their performance in WASSCE and there is a significant correlation between the attitudes of the Home economics teachers and students’ performance in WASSCE, as its hypotheses.

 

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.1      Background to the Study

The fundamental basis for economic and social well-being of a country lies in the understanding by its people the basic home and technological knowledge.  There are number of different forces that have led to strong concern about the low quality of home economics knowledge, skills, values and performance among students over the years. Secondary school education is regarded as the foundation towards higher knowledge in tertiary institutions. It is an investment as well as an instrument used for achieving economic, social, political technological and scientific development in the country.However, people at times blame the students on their negative performance in secondary school their low retention, parental factors and poor attitudes toward learning. Aremu&Oluwole(2001) believed that the falling level of academic achievement is attributable to teacher own use at verbal reinforcement strategy. Others found out that the attitude of some teachers to their job has a significant impact in their poor attendance to lessons and lateness to school which can negatively affect the students’ performance.

The differential scholastic achievement of students in Nigeria has been and is still a source of concern and research interest to educators, government and parents. This is as a result of the great values that education has on the development of such country. It is crystal clear to everyone in the country that the standard of our educational system has considerably fallen. Parents are of the opinion that their huge investment on the education of their children is not producing the desired result. Teachers as wellare concerned about the fall in their students’ academic performances at both internal and external examinations. The annual releases of Senior Secondary Certificate Examination results (SSCE) conducted by West African Examination Council (WAEC) justified the problematic nature and generalization of poor secondary school students’ performance in different school subjects. 

Poor academic performance has been observed in school subjects especially in Home economics among secondary school students. Academic failure is not is a concern for both the students and the parents, because it directly or indirectly affects our economic and political growth in one way or the other.This is due to the fact it is viewed as an investment as well as an instrument used in achievingan economic, social, political, technological, scientific and cultural development in the country. The National Policy on Education (2004) stipulated that secondary education is an instrument for national development that fosters the worth and development of the individual for further education and development of the society in general and also the equality of educational opportunities to all Nigerian children, irrespective of any real or marginal disabilities. The role of secondary education is to lay the foundation for further education and if a good foundation is laid at this level, there are likely to be no problem at subsequent levels. 

1.2      Statement of the Problem

One of the factors responsible for poor performance of Nigerian students of schools in Calabar, Cross River State, Nigeria, in Home economics is the high standards maintained by WAEC with unqualified Home economics teachers teaching the subject. Thisis because the WAEC which is of international standards will never lower their standard because Nigeria has not enough hands or qualified teachers to train its students.

Another one is that the numbers of teachers arenot equal to that of the students’population effective teaching then becomes a problem. The decline in the numbers of candidates ready to pursue the studies in home economics in secondary schools has become a matter of considerable societal concern not only in Calabar, Cross River State but in Nigeria as a whole. Consequently, the promotion of favourable attitudes towards science and learning of Home economics is extremely critical and important. However, the concept of poor performance in Home economics is not well defined, often poorly expressed and not well understood. This study examines the impact of the qualification of Home economics teachers on the performance of secondary school students in West African Senior Secondary Certificate Examinations using some selected schools in Calabar, Cross River State, Nigeria as a case study.
