Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the joint associations and effects of time watched, time spent, number watched, type watched, parents’ reaction and watch reason on the academic performance of secondary school students in Ido Local Government Area of Ibadan Metropolis, Nigeria. Simple random sampling technique was used to select 5 public secondary schools out of 18 found in the area. A structured questionnaire was administered to students and teachers using systematic and accidental sampling techniques. Data obtained were analysed using tables, Pearson’s correlation and multiple regression analysis. Result of Pearson’s correlation revealed significant associations among the independent variables (time watched, time spent, number watch, type watched, parents’ reaction and watch reason) and the dependent variable (academic performance) of secondary school students. The multiple regression result also showed that the academic performance of secondary school students is significantly influenced time watched, time spent, number watched, type watched, parents reaction and watch reason (F = 26.125, p<0.01). Time spent watching home video was identified by the model as the most potent predictor variable of academic failure (B = 0.349, t = 8.134, p<0.01). Hence, to tackle this recurrent phenomenon in our homes, parents are encouraged to monitor the shows, films and programmes their children watch. Also, to enhance students’ academic performance, parents are advised to ensure that high-quality educational programmes be made available and children should be encouraged to watch informational, educational and nonviolent movies and programmes.
