Self Concept and Academic Performance In Mathematics Among Secondary School Students In Ekiti –State
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Engineering and Technology - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
This study investigated self-concept and academic performance of students in Mathematics to confirm their relationship. The study also found out whether location of school influenced self-concept of students. A Sample of 400 students drawn from four Local Government Areas of Ekiti State was used. The stratified random sampling technique was employed to cater for both urban and rural students. A – 25 item instrument called Student Self- Concept Inventory (SSCI) was used. Two hypotheses were tested using Pearson Product Moment Correlation and t-test statistics. The results of the findings showed that self – concept did not influence academic performance of students. It was recommended that parents, teachers and school counselors should not rate academic performance of students based on their self- concept Keywords: Ekiti State, academic performance, Mathematics, students
