    ABSTRACT

    Lack of home supports, poor standard of living, students’ lack of motivation to learn or anxiety, poor teaching method, unfamiliar teachers’ attitude, classroom congestion and low utilization rate of classrooms are common features related to secondary education in Nigeria. They have negative impact on both secondary school teacher productivity and student learning input, and thus secondary school students’ academic performance.

    Thus, study investigated the extent to which the aforementioned factors determine the performance of secondary school students in Senior Certificate Examinations (SSCE) conducted by the West Africa Examinations Council (WAEC) in Oyo State, Nigerian.200 students from5 secondary schools in Ibadan North-West local Government Area of Oyo State were randomly selected for the study. The multiple regression analysis, one-way analysis of variance and chi-square were used to analyze the data. The four research hypotheses which guided the study was tested at 0.05 minimum level of significance.

    Findings revealed that the class factors when taken together, determined significantly secondary school students academic performance in Oyo state, Nigeria. These factors along with students’ variable and teachers’ variable were also found to have significant influence on secondary school student’s mathematics performance in the state.

    Home support and parents’ socio-economic status were however discovered not to have significant influence on the students’ achievement in mathematics.

    These findings are of great significance for educational planners, policy makers, parents, teachers and both federal and state governments.

    CHAPTER ONE

    INTRODUCTION

    1.1       Background to the Study

    The  capability  of  assistive  technology  in  education  classes  for  students  with  special needs is enormous. Some of the advantages of using technology include promoting academic success for students with disabilities in the field of writing, mathematics, spelling, reading and+ comprehension, enhancing their organizing capability and most importantly encouraging their social inclusion in society (Quenneville, 2015). Support or assistive  technology offers many  advantages  by  assisting writing  for  students with disabilities who  usually  find writing  to be cumbersome  (MacArthur,  2006).  Once  students  overcome  writing  issues,  they  tend  to  be more successful within the general  education  environment. Also most of the learners with disabilities find  it challenging  to  retain  information  from  the  standard  syllabus. Many  teachers  face difficulty adapting  curriculum  as  per  the  learning  requirements  of  children  with certain disabilities like learning disabilities and intellectual disabilities without  any external assistance. Hence, it has become all the more important to focus on this issue to help teachers incorporate technology within the classroom to promote learning  of  learners with educational rehabilitation (Wilson & Cleland., 2011).

    The Office of Special Education Programs (2011) recommends the usage  of  commonly  available  technology  for  children  with  disabilities that need rehabilitation to  be  included  within  the classroom. Also, the No Child Left behind Act of 2001 (NCLB, 2002) has acted as a catalyst in improving school facilities to meet the needs of the children with disabilities that needs rehabilitation. Even  though most of  the schools  have  responded  positively  to  implement  the  required  changes,  some  of  the educational  institutes  do  not  have  the  right  direction  regarding  the  correct measures  to  be taken on students that need education rehabilitation. They  are  confused  regarding  the  key  elements  that  can  result  in  effective  organized change and the manner  in which  the  teachers can be supported  to assist learning of students with  disabilities  (Reed, Clifford &  Svedkauskaite,  2004). Most of them have implemented assistive technologies for students with disabilities to create a well-defined approach towards change that can benefit all categories of students, even that group of children acknowledged by the NCLB Act. Use of assistive  technology to aid  learning of children with disability  is, thus,  gaining  prominence  with  the  widespread  usage  and  easy  availability  of  technology. Hence,  looking  to  the  importance  of  this  subject,  it will  act  as  an  informative  source  for educational providers to guide them further in their endeavor to aid learning of children with disabilities.

    ICT (information and communications technology) is an umbrella term that includes any communication or application which encompassing radio, television, cellular phones, satellite systems, computer and network hardware or software and so on (www.searchcio-midmarket.techtarget.com/sDefinition/). From the computing dictionary, ICT is the study of technology used to handle information and aid communication (www.dictionary.refrence.com.). Nowadays, ICT is rapidly develop in many of countries which due to the globalization and technological change. Recently, ICT is widely use in many areas or sectors such as education, economy, politics and social. Especially for education, many countries now regard understanding ICT as part of the core of education, alongside writing, reading and numeracy. The emergence of ICT has made an improvement on the education for every student with learning disabilities as it brings a lot of advantages for every student with learning disabilities. For many teacher, ICT also had improved their effectiveness on the teaching process which in turn could help the student with learning disabilities to enhance their educational performance. That goes without saying that ICT has gradually become a part of the life for every student with learning disabilities and teacher. Thus, how can we imagine that without the help of ICT on education? In recent years, the computers and internet have shown their effectiveness and efficiency in education. Besides, ICT has also improved the learning environment of student with learning disabilities. For ICT, if we used appropriately, it could help to expand the access to education for student with learning disabilities and raise the quality of education by reinforcing the relevance of education. E-learning, blended learning and distance learning are the various types of learning that arise from the ICT.

    Teachers of students with disabilities are facing serious instructional challenges as the diversity of students within each rehabilitation centre continues to widen. Students with  such  academic  range with  different  labels  as  gifted,  fast,  average,  slow and  below  average  learners  all  face  their  teachers  daily with  full  hope  that their needs will be met. Teachers with their efforts often need to carry several chats,  equipment  specimen  and  others  in  order  to  teach  a  single  topic effectively.  However,  these  materials  are  often  either  unavailable  or inaccessible; moreover,  teachers do not have enough  time between classes  to procure and test these materials. Hence, most rehabilitation classes are limited to uninspiring and sometimes incomprehensive verbal lectures.

    The fact remain that the method of teaching in rehabilitation centre which have been investigated and found effective have not produced desired effect on students academic performance in school. The teacher are still attached to the traditional method of chalk and talk, the practice which makes them longer behind contemporary demand for improved learning system curriculum. The perceived benefits of using ICT in schools include making teaching. Leaning interesting helping in the distance learning programme, help teachers to be up-to date, enhancing quality of work by both teachers and students. Human capacity development through ICT facilities in secondary schools is in short fall. This hampers the performance of students with disabilities in rehabilitation centre. On this, the researcher is bothered on the accessibility and utilization of ICT on educational achievement of students with rehabilitation.

     

    1.2 Statement of the Problem

    The  persistent  poor  academic  performance  of  the students  with disabilities has  been  attributed  by  to  approaches or methods of teaching. The Federal Ministry of Education  (2007)  advocated for  a  change  in  the  strategies  of  imparting  rehabilitation instruction  to  the students with learning disabilities by using ICT facilities  like the Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI). The  approach,  according  to  UNESCO  (2002),  requires  adjustment  of  the educational  institutions  to  embrace  new  technology  and  appreciate  computer technology as a learning tool to transform the present  isolated, teacher-centred and  textbook  bound  classroom  into  student-centered  interactive  knowledge environment. It is on the basis of this that this study intended to investigate the influence of ICT on the educational achievement of students with rehabilitation education in Federal College of Education (Special), Oyo.

     

     

     

     

    1.3       Purpose of the Study

    1.5       Significance of the Study

    The findings of  this study will benefit learning disabled students,  teachers, curriculum  developers  as  well  as  the  ministry  of  Education  and  future researchers.

    Students with disabilities will benefit from the findings of the study as the use  of  ICT  to  study  and to rehabilitate  will  boost  their  performance  and retention. It will also help them to develop more interest and skill in the use of computers which will facilitate  the acquisition of knowledgeable skills such as sound societal values, norms and good attitude. The knowledge of their skill in computers will  also  help  them  to make  proper  career  choice  based  on  their capabilities on the use of computer assisted instructions.

    The findings will help teachers in choosing an appropriate instructional material  capable  of  releasing  students’ tension towards  the  rehabilitation. It will motivate  teachers  to  develop  interest  towards  utilizing modern  instructional materials as computer assisted instruction (CAI),  and  selecting  suitable  teaching  methods  that  will be a possible means towards reducing failure in the  teaching and learning in the school. It will equally help teachers to develop suitable methods for assessing students’ academic performance in the school. The  findings  will  also sensitize  lecturers of disabilities on  the  benefits  of  the  use  of  computer  as  a strategy  for  lecturing  and  it  will  have  greater  effect  on  the  academic performance and  retention of  the students. The research findings will as well form another dimension of innovations in the teaching and learning while rehabilitating students with learning disabilities.

    Curriculum planners will also benefit from the study, since, the results of  the  study  will  assist  in  curriculum  planning  such  as  giving  information relating  to  the  teaching and  learning in rehabilitation centre, computer can be utilized  in appropriate  strategies  of  curriculum  planning,  modification  and  revision.

    Educational  researchers and scholars will benefit  from  the findings of this study as it will provide them with academic literature on the effects of the different  instructional  techniques  used  in  this  study  on  students’  academic performance and retention of learning in rehabilitation centre.

    Every learner is unique and has own learning style that is affected by his or her personality factors. Learning style or individual preferences in child’s learning result from his or her main thinking. This involves the use of visual materials which include pictures and reading. Learners who can hear like listening to explanations and reading aloud. Learners who are physically stable need physical activity to help them learn. Also, learners who like interacting with people are sociable and eager to use language for communication. Meanwhile, learner who love to be lonely are always quiet and reflective and learn by listening and observing (Ranjeetah, 2018). It is the duty of teachers to provide a variety of strategies in the activities of teaching as carefully structured for input and practice opportunities, catering for different learning styles (Ranjeetah, 2018).

    CHAPTER ONE

    INTRODUCTION

    1.1      Background to the Study

    There is no marriage without its challenges. When the challenges get to a particular level, the spouses may be frustrated to the extent that they may prefer living separately. On this, many cultures and religions see divorce as last option in settling marital conflicts, though some still believed that marital relationship should be maintained, no matter the frustration because it is for better for worse. This reason makes it importance to look into the meaning of divorce. Dada (2016) defines divorce as a legal termination of valid marriage. If a marriage is not valid when contracted, there cannot be a divorce because there cannot be a divorce because there was no marriage at the initial stage. Marital unhappiness is as a result of the various factors that predispose martial instability. Raheem (2018) states that marital conflict is inevitable in any society as long as husband and wife are different individuals and their actions are important to each other. With such view divorce is a mechanism for dealing with the pressure and problem inevitably caused by marriage because without marriage there would be no divorce.

    The negative effects of parental divorce upon children depend upon factors, including the age and sex of the child at the time, it occurs, the amount of conflict within the family unity, and the degree of co-operation between the divorced or separated parents. Each of these factors, alone or interaction with each other influences the psychological health of the child and the ability of the child to do well at school. Babalis, Tsoli, Nikolopoulos, & Maniatis (2014) submit that the manner by which parents interact with each other, at the time of and after the divorce often have a far reaching negative impact on their children psychologically and academically. Indeed, it is often difficult to separate the effects of divorce from the effects of a conflictual family relationship in this manner, the negative effects of divorce may stem from per-existing differences in the family unit, prior to the divorce itself, and these negative effects may be more related to the emotional separation that precedes the legal divorce.

    In general, children who have recently experienced a family dissolution have a more difficult time with education and academic expectations at school than children from a stable family or happy family (Dada, 2016). This is visible in the children’s ability to adjust to the reality of their parents’ divorce, most circumstances, children of divorce homes, are only disposed to the negative effect of their current family situation such children show resilience in adjusting to the effects of parental divorce. Indeed, children who thrive of their current family situation such children show resilience in adjusting to the effects of parental divorce. Indeed, children who thrive well in family dissolution are more likely to live in homes characterized by other family members support (Dada, 2016).

    Therefore, children do better when parents provide consistent coordinated and understanding qualities in which they monitor their children and provide them with love, kindness and guidance such situation requires a problem-solving approach in which the separated parents deny their children, as a result of parental disagreement. Anderson & Bloom (2018) state that divorce affects everyone involved, but it is often the most difficult for children. If the children have disabilities and need special education services, the situation can be even more complex. If the disability of the child involve has relationship with learning, the child may not only suffer the immediate negative effects of the divorce, such life can have an endless sufferness. This is because such child, despite his learning disability will also develop a psychological challenge which the two parents are expected to calm for him.  Divorce does not affect most education rights. However, the divorce decree, the legal document that describes parents’ responsibilities after divorce, should clearly describe relationships among the parents, child, and education system. Despite such resilience, many children of divorced parentage experience intense, long term effects that the impact show negative upon their academic performance, and a few children carry this long lasting effects into their own adulthood, this in turn seriously impair their ability to develop and maintain a long-lasting social and mutual relationship (Dada, 2016). On this, the research dim it fit to carry out a research on the perceived influence of divorce parents on students academic performance among the learning disability students.

     

    1.2      Statement of the Problem

    Parental care is the bed rock of children success. A child who is denied this, is tend to have a set-back in his life pursuit. Also, children with learning disability has already have a certain disability in his life. This disability has a lot to do with his psychological perspective. If such a child now become a victim of divorced parent, the psychological effects will be too much and this is liable to affect his academic success. Also, it is obvious that no matter what educational provision the government may provide, children from separated homes are more likely to exhibit signs of early disengagement from school, and also associated with it, is the truancy and more negative attitudes towards school. Children from separated homes are also liable to lower academic performance, as a result of less monitoring of school work by both parents. On this, the researcher intends to carry out a study on the perceived influence of divorce parents on students academic performance among the learning disability students.

    1.3      Purpose of the Study

    The purpose of this study is to investigate the perceived influence of divorce parents on students academic performance among the learning disability students. Also, this study tends to find out the level of academic performance of the affected children before and after their parents divorced. In nutshell, this study intends to:

    1. Investigate the effect of divorced parents on the academic performance of children with learning disabilities
    2. Determine identifiable problems that has to do with the academic performance of children from divorced home
    • Proffer probable solution to the challenges facing the academic performance of children from divorced home

    1.4      Significance of the Study

    The study on the perceived influence of divorced parents on the academic performance of children with learning disabilities is significant on:

    1. Children: The findings of this study will help to educate the children of the divorced parents about the need for them to report their problem to other family members and social welfare officers for assistance instead of indulging in anti-social behaviour.
    2. Government: The findings of this study will help the government to know the impact of divorce on children, especially children with learning disabilities and service that should be provided to help these children in solving their problems.

    iii. Public and Private Individuals: The study will be of immense benefit to both the public and private individuals who are greatly convinced about the rate of increase in divorce in Nigeria as a whole.

    1. School Authorities: The findings also would be of great help to the school authorities to know how they can render assistance to the affected children of divorce homes.

     

    1.5      Research Hypotheses

    ABSTRACT

    This study assessed the effect of early childhood education on the academic performance of children with hearing impairments in Oyo East Local Government Area of Oyo State. The study made use of research question as research instrument and sixty (60) respondents were sampled for this study. According to the research findings, it was established that most of the pupils with hearing impairment who engage in early childhood education did perform so well in academic subjects. As a result, pupils who undergone early childhood education do not experience difficulties in understanding concepts presented to them in abstract during lessons. In fact, many of the pupils born with a hearing loss perform the same as the pupil who becomes deaf after acquisition of language in academic performance. Also, many of the pupils with hearing loss generally perform well during examinations but some pupils with hearing loss tend to repeat examination grades before passing to proceed to other grades. The finding shows that most examinations seems to be too overloaded for pupils with hearing loss and hearing loss did not impose difficulties on the learning of most pupils with learning impairment. Also, many of the teachers communicate with their pupils with sign language and have good relationship with the parents of their hearing impaired pupils. Conclusively, most of the pupils have difficulty concentrating and cannot pay attention for long. Most of the teachers encourage mixing with hearing pupils. Also, many of the students have a very strong temper and loses it easily. There are more than average instructional materials and most of their school does not have functional group hearing aid for teaching pupils with hearing impairment.
