Abstract
The study examined the relationship between home environment and academic performance of upper primary pupils with Hearing Impairments in Central Province Kenya. The study was based on Atkinson motivation theory, from literature reviewed. It was realized that a strong positive correlation between academic achievement and home environment existed (Kapila, 1976). A sample size of 75 upper primary (5,6,7,8) between the ages of 14-18 years were randomly selected from five primary schools for the Hearing Impaired in Central Province. Data was collected using two questionnaires and results of the end year examination were used as a measure of their academic performance. Pearson’s product moment correlation and two taile t-test were used to test the hypothesis. One of the major findings indicated that there was a significant relationship between home environment and academic performance of children with Hearing Impairment. The study recommended that the parents ensure that children have a favorable home environment in order to achieve success in school.
