1.2 Statement of the Problem
The poor academic performance of pupils
in schools in Aba educational environment has recently become a cause
for serious concern. It has been observed by the researcher that some
senior primary school pupils cannot write or read a letter. Others
attend as many as three schools within their primary school career due
to constant failures in a bid to avoid the shame of repeating a class.
It has also been observed by the researcher that in Aba and some other
parts of Nigeria private school proprietors tend to boost the population
of their schools by admitting students without a testimonial or
statement of result and award fictitious results to ensure the promotion
of such pupils to the next class.
This ugly development has been
attributed to many factors such as teachers’ poor attitude to work; poor
infrastructure, examination malpractice; lack of qualified teachers;
truancy; poor motivation; Non-payment of salaries and the neglect of
instructional media by teachers etc. The primary school features the
highest number of impressionable learners and consumes a greater
percentage of the government budgetary allocation to education, hence
the need to investigate the influence of environment on the academic
performance of pupils in Aba North L.G.A.
1.3 Research Questions
The following research questions were formulated to guide the research.
1.) Does noise pollution hinder the development of memorization skills by pupils?
2.) Does the presence of rich but illiterate businessmen discourage excellent academic performance or behaviour in class?
3.) Do Pupils who indulge in so much domestic chores have poor academic performance than pupils who do not?
1.4 Objectives of the Study
The
general objective of this study is to investigate the influence of
environment on the academic performance of primary school pupils. The
following specific objectives are to guide the study:
1. To determine the extent to which a noisy environment hinders the development of memorization skills by primary school pupils.
2.
To find outhow the presence of illiterate but rich businessmen affect
the behaviour of primary school pupils towards learning.
3. To ascertain the ways in which the home environment affects the performance of primary school pupils at school.
