Abstract

This study examines the factors influencing academic performance, specifically in the context of English language proficiency, among students in Nigeria. The importance of English language proficiency in the Nigerian education system is highlighted, as it serves as the medium of instruction and the language of textbooks. Despite its significance, students' performance in written and spoken English is generally poor. The study emphasizes the role of various factors, including student-related factors (interest, motivation, study habits), teacher-related factors (teaching methods, experience, workload), and parental involvement in students' academic performance. Parental involvement is seen as crucial in shaping children's educational and environmental transformation, with active participation from parents positively impacting children's development, behavior, motivation, and academic performance. The study also recognizes the influence of the school environment on academic performance, emphasizing the need for a conducive learning environment with adequate resources and support services. The findings suggest that parental involvement and a supportive school environment contribute to improved academic performance. Overall, this study underscores the importance of addressing these factors to enhance students' English language proficiency and academic achievement in Nigeria.

Abstract

The research explores the competence of teachers in recognizing and differentiating gifted students from their peers, which is crucial for providing appropriate educational interventions and support tailored to their unique needs. The methodology employed a descriptive survey design, with data collected through a questionnaire. The sample consisted of private and public primary school teachers in the area. The findings indicate a low competence level among primary school teachers in the early identification of gifted children. The study found no significant differences in competence based on gender or school type. However, there was a significant difference in competence based on teacher qualification, with those holding M.Ed./M.Sc. qualifications showing a higher level of competence. Overall, the study highlights the need for targeted professional development and support for primary school teachers in the identification of gifted children. By improving teachers' competence in this area, it is possible to enhance educational interventions and provide appropriate support to nurture the potential of gifted students.
