Original price was: ₦10,000.00.Current price is: ₦3,000.00.
ABSTRACT

This study examined the impact of effects of single parenting on the academic performance of students in JSS classes. The study used questionnaire as instrument to collect responses from respondents. Students were used as respondents for this study. Sixty (60) students were sampled and simple percentage was used to analyze the findings. The findings of the respondents shows that most of the students are not staying with their two parents. As a result, many of the students do lack parental love because their parents are not staying together but many of them. Based on the information generated from students after gathering data analysis, the following recommendations were looked into:
1. The research on the effects of single parenting on the academic performance of students in JSS classes will help in encouraging students from single parenting that they can as well make it in life even more than other children from two parenting home.
2. Government should support schools by providing financial assistance and gratuity funds for these children from single parenting home.

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background of the Study

The development of human resource capacities for sustainable economic growth and development is highly dependent on education. Through imparted knowledge and skills, education increases human capabilities and improves productivity in labour and national growth. People are able to participate and function better in various aspects of life. Education is an important tool in achieving independence and gender balance in equitable distribution of opportunities (Muganda & Mwangi, 2002).

The Government of Nigeria recognizes education as a key contributor to the economy and development in general. Thus, quality of education at all levels has remained an important policy issue since independence. The government has in the past established various commissions to aid educational programme in the country. The most recent development is the implementation of free and compulsory primary education policy for all school-going age learners in primary and secondary schools.

The Government of Nigeria has made deliberate efforts to improve the enrollment of learners who are hearing impaired into schools through awareness creation programmes, establishment of schools for persons with hearing impairment at primary, secondary and higher institutions. More hearing impaired individuals are now studying up to the Master’s level, and competing for opportunities with their hearing counterparts. Without doubt, some private institutions also consider the education of special students in which they provide classes for them.

The academic performance of every child is wired with the state of the cognitive condition that the child his. The reason for this is that cognitive skill is the processor that processes the learning bits that child learns in the class. Raheem (2015) states that there are three basic skills needed by every student to process and exercise the knowledge gained. These skills are receptive skills, cognitive skill and productive skills. Receptive skills are skills that students used to receive information, these are reading and listening. Cognitive skill is the skill used by the students to process the information received, this is the reasoning faculty of the students. Productive skills are skills that the students use to express what they have learnt through receptive skills and their cognitive skill has processed. Learners who are hearing impaired has already have deficiency in one of the receptive skills which may affect his or her academic performance.

In the western region of Nigeria, the education of learners with disabilities was for a long time not given much importance since disability was stereotyped to mean one is cursed and it was taboo for anyone with disability to interact with other people or even be seen in public as they were considered to bring bad luck. Persons with hearing impairment are often ridiculed and neglected in society, with parents and community members openly favouring their normal learners over the hearing impaired learners. This is however slowly changing, whereby the western part of Nigeria has seen an increase in schools for the hearing impaired and an increase in enrollment. Generally, there has been an increase in establishment of hearing impairment department or unit attached to regular schools over the years. This is in response to the rising need for these schools and the constitutional requirement that all children have right to education regardless the disability.

This is by no means the ideal position but it is a step in the right direction in the education of hearing impaired learners in this region. These schools are crippled with inadequate teaching and learning resources, lack of infrastructure such as classrooms and inadequate number of teachers to meet the needs of learners. Most hearing impaired classes are characterized by mixing of learners of different ages and levels into the same room being taught by one teacher. One would ask, how is it possible for one teacher to teach learners who are at different learning levels and linguistic capabilities in the same room at the same time? (Mweri, 2014). The few available teachers have little or no knowledge of Nigerian sign language which is the primary language of communication for hearing impaired learners. They lack the linguistic know how to impart education to the hearing impaired learners who use visual mode of communication while these teachers use oral mode of communication (Mweri, 2014). Given this background, this study intended to investigate environmental factors as determinant of academic achievement among hearing impaired students in Nigeria.

1.2 Statement of the Problem

Repetition and poor achievement in national examinations such as National Examination Council of Nigeria (NECO) and West African Examination Council (WAEC) in Nigeria for the hearing impaired has pose a challenge to the quality of education that these learners receive at various schools. Hearing Impaired learners do not perform comparably with their hearing peers in examinations where. It is believed that they often score below average due to misinterpretation of questions or inability to express their answers in simple and correct English (Ayoade, 2014). However, the challenge that brings the poor performance in their academic pursuit is attached to various variables which are home, self-pessimism, teaching methodology, environmental factors among others. The researcher believes that if the environmental factor is well addressed, this will seriously assist learners with hearing impairment in their academic performance to perform better. The reason is that parents, teachers, friends, teaching materials, classrooms and other factors that can affect teaching learning process are all in the teaching environment where the learners are to learn. Due to this, the researcher is bothered to carry out investigation on environmental factors as determinant of academic achievement among hearing impaired students in Nigeria.

1.3 Purpose of the Study

This study investigated the environmental factors as determinant of academic achievement among hearing impaired students in Nigeria.

1.4 Objectives of the Study

The following were the objectives of this research:
1. To assess the influence of environmental factors on the academic achievement of learners with hearing impairment in Afijio Local Government area of Oyo State.
2. To determine the influence of teachers on the academic achievement of learners with hearing impairment in Afijio Local Government of Oyo State.
3. To assess the extent to which availability of teaching and learning resources influence academic achievement of the learners with hearing impairment in Afijio Local government of Oyo State.
1.5 Research Questions

The following were the research questions of the study:
1. What is the influence of environmental factors on the academic achievement of learners with hearing impairment?
2. What is the influence of the teachers on the academic achievement of Deaf learners?
3. To what extent does availability of teaching and learning resources influence the academic achievement of learners with hearing impairment?
1.6 Significance of the Study

The findings of this research will be utilized by organizations and institutions to design and manage programmes on hearing impairment education that will improve the academic achievement of learners with hearing impairment, create awareness on hearing impairment, enhance their quality of life and further promote the global development agenda. Education experts and stakeholders will use the findings of this research to plan for a holistic education of the learners with hearing impairment through development of policies and guidelines which will be beneficial to them. They will use the findings and recommendations of this research to design curricula, learning experiences and classroom accommodations which will improve academic achievement of learners with hearing impairment. Teachers will utilize the recommendations from this study to make classroom adjustments and experiences that suit the needs of learners with hearing to enable them develop into an all-round individual in school and after school. Schools and institutions will be able to use these findings to formulate favorable admission and finance policies that better support the learners with hearing impairment to enable them acquire professional and functional skills that will help them acquire jobs, businesses, leadership positions and compete with their hearing peers in all aspects of life.

The government will use the findings of this research to enforce current affirmative action policies and formulating more policies and laws that will improve the education of learners with hearing impairment. The government will better support awareness creation efforts by institutions and private individuals and organizations through allocation of funds for training of teachers and public servants in Nigerian sign language in order to be more able to meet the needs of learners with hearing impairment. They will use the recommendations thus made to allocate more resources for infrastructure and learning materials to schools to improve the achievement of learners with hearing impairment. Researchers and scholars can utilize the findings and recommendations in this study to conduct further research in other areas of Deaf education and to improve this sector in general.

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

This study investigates the influence of ICT on educational achievement of students with rehabilitation education in Federal College Education (Special) Oyo. Specifically, the study intended to:
1. investigate the level of accessibility of ICT in teaching students with rehabilitation education in Federal College of Education (Special), Oyo
2. determines the level of utilization of ICT in teaching students with rehabilitation education in Federal College of Education (Special) Oyo
- shows the extent to which ICT improve the educational achievement of students with rehabilitation education in Federal College of Education (Special), Oyo.
1.4 Research Questions

The following research questions were raised to guide the study:
1. What is the level of accessibility of ICT in teaching students with rehabilitation education in Federal College of Education (Special) Oyo?
2. What is the level of utilization of ICT in teaching students with rehabilitation education in Federal College of Education (Special), Oyo?
- To what extent does ICT improve the educational achievement of students with rehabilitation of Education (Special) Oyo?
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).

Perceived influence of divorce parents on students academic performance among the learning disability students in selected schools in Oyo town
₦3,000.00
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

The following research hypotheses were formulated to guide the study.

H₀1 There will be no significance influence of negligence on academic performance of learning disable children

H₀2 There will be no significance influence of socially acceptability on learning disable children

H₀3 There will be no significance influence of inferiority complex on learning disable children
