Students Related Factors Influencing Their Performance in Ordinary Level Biology at the Cameroon General Certificate of Education CGCE

Abstract

Poor performance in O L Biology at the CGCE examination can be attributed to reasons from varied sources. However, this study sought to investigate how students related factors influence their performance in Ordinary Level O L Biology at the Cameroon General Certificate of Education CGCE Examination.The instruments used to collect data were a questionnaire for teachers and students and the analysis of Biology GCE O L subject reports. The instruments were made up of few close and more open ended questions Triangulated study .The data obtained from student questionnaires were analyzed separately from that of teachers using frequencies and percentages. Thematic analysis was also employed to open ended items of the questionnaires. The results showed that Students were blamed for their poor performance in Biology O L at the CGCE examination for the following cluster of reasons Laziness, poor time management, misinterpretation of questions, do not follow instructions on question papers, speculation, phobia in drawing, poor communication skills, peer pressure, drug addiction, etc. Theophilus Koti Tamambang "Students Related Factors Influencing Their Performance in Ordinary Level Biology at the Cameroon General Certificate of Education (CGCE)" Published in International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development (ijtsrd), ISSN: 2456-6470, Volume-4 | Issue-3 , April 2020, URL: https://www.ijtsrd.com/papers/ijtsrd30850.pdf Paper Url :https://www.ijtsrd.com/humanities-and-the-arts/education/30850/students-related-factors-influencing-their-performance-in-ordinary-level-biology-at-the-cameroon-general-certificate-of-education-cgce/theophilus-koti-tamambang
