CAUSES AND EFFECTS OF TRUANCY ON PRIMARY SCHOOL PUPILS
ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE IN MATHEMATICS
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE
STUDY
Mathematics is the science of number and
space, it is the language of the new millennium (Harbor-Peter, 2000). It is the
queen of science and technology, also a tool for scientific and technological
development (Agwagah and Ezeugo, 2000). No National can develop scientifically
and technological without proper foundation in school mathematics (Okafor, 2005
in Kurumeh and Imoko, 2006). In recent years, for instance, there had been
criticisms in public places, and in news papers over the low standard of
performance in mathematics in our schools’ prominent among the critics are the
teachers and parents. The critics are particularly concerned with the teaching
of basic mathematics in our schools. They claim that most students who have
successfully completed secondary school education often failed mathematics.
However, from the view point of national interest a far more serious
consequences of the inability of the students to excel in mathematics
successfully is in regard to scientific and technological advancement that we
very much desire in the attainment of Millennium Development Goal.
We need many
qualified doctors, engineers, agricultural scientists, economists, computer
programmers and mathematics teachers. All these professionals require basic
courses in mathematics up to advanced level before they can specialize in these
professions.
According to Oxford advanced learning
dictionary; truancy is an act or condition being absent without permission.
Merriam
(2012) says truancy as an act or instance of playing truant: the state of being
truancy (the California legislature view truancy in very precise language). In
summary it states that a student missing more than 30 minutes of instruction
without an excuse three times during the school year must be classified as a
truancy.
Sherilyn
(2011) view that three are various reason of truancy and this has been on of
the major problems in Nigeria and it is negatively affecting the future of the
pupils. Absence rates have reached as high as 30 percent in some schools and it
is harder for the teachers to do something about this. And this affects not
only the pupils but their families as well. Consequences are various as well if
they miss to many classes they will not be able to congratulate on time and
they will fall behind their classmates and this will affect not only their self-esteem
but various other things. All this can improve if teachers together with
parents make good plan to interest pupils who is skipping classes to get back
to school.
This can be
done by talking and learning about pupils interests regarding the school.
In town like
Ago Ika, Lafenwa, Ita Oshin pupils are run away from school which bring
researcher closer to the topic, to find out the effect of truancy.
1.2 STATEMENT OF THE
PROBLEM
The high rate
of truancy in town calls for attention. It could generate to pupils not
performing very well academically. It could also lead to various forms of
criminal, damage, robbery with violence and abusive conduct etc.
This study
would therefore investigate
i. What truancy
means.
ii. The causes of
truancy.
iii. The effects
of truancy on primary school pupils academic performance in mathematics.
iv. The possible solution to the problem.
1.3 RESEARCH
QUESTIONS
(i) What is
truancy?
(ii) What are
the causes of truancy?
(iii) What are
the effects of truancy on primary school pupils academic performance in mathematics.
(iv) How we can
reduce truancy in primary school pupils?
1.4 PURPOSE OF THE
STUDY
The study
superficially find out
(i) To
examine of truancy.
(ii) To
explain causes of truancy.
(iii) To explain
effects of truancy.
(iv) To suggest
possible solution to the problem of this study.
1.5 SIGNIFICANCE OF
THE STUDY
The study
would enable the various benefactor to have better understanding of what used
to prompt our primary school pupils on truancy on school academic.
The study
will be of benefit to the government by given information on the high level of
truancy in the schools and it consequence effect. Government in a bid to curb
truancy will therefore be able to apply measures capable eradicating such acts.
One of the measures could be disciplinary measure approved by the government
e.g. Government backing schools in given out some punishment to student such
acts. Government could also pass some law banding on school pupils and teachers
to reduce truancy. Dedicated and intelligent in schools could be motivated
through various incentives e.g. money, gift to make student who are truant
change their attitude.
The study
would assist parent to pay more attention to the activities of the children in
and outside schools for parent who pampered their children and do not give room
for correction they would have a change of act to see the need for discipline
on the children.
The study
will help the teacher to assist the pupils as much as possible to develop
interesting and the activity based on teaching method it will also make her
lesson in class interesting to the pupils. And also make the use of
availability of the instructional materials for the pupils to enhance an
effective teaching and learning process.
The study
will help the pupils to be more serious about his or her study. It will also
use his free period to read more at home. It will also identify the brilliant
pupils in his class and make friend with them so that they can teach him more
or explain more of the unknown topic to him. The study will make the pupils pay
more attention to education and work towards a great future.
1.6 SCOPE AND
DELIMITATION OF THE STUDY
The study is to cover primary school in Abeokuta North Local
Government Area of Ogun state.
1.7 LIMITATION OF THE
STUDY
This study was carried out in the Ebenezer Primary School,
Olumo Primary School, Army Children School I, Holy Prophet School I and II in
Abeokuta North Local Government Area of Ogun state. The reason for using such a
small sample is due to financial constraint and time.
