Abstract

This research study investigated the influence of interest and motivation on mathematics achievement among junior secondary school students in Ijebu Ode, Ogun State, Nigeria. The study methodology was a descriptive survey, and the sample size of 350 junior secondary school students in Ijebu Ode from five public schools was chosen using a simple random sampling procedure. The Mathematics Achievement Test (MAT) and the Interest and Motivation towards Learning Mathematics Scale (IMLMS), with reliability coefficients of 0.77 and 0.81, respectively, were used in the study. Multiple regression analysis, Pearson Product Moment Correlation, and descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data gathered. The results showed that motivation and interest positively impact student achievement in school. They further demonstrated the independent factors' combined influence on the dependent variables. Based on the results, it is determined that junior secondary school students in Ijebu Ode, Ogun State, Nigeria, have high academic achievements in mathematics and that both motivation and interest jointly predict academic achievement. To improve students' mathematics achievement, it is advised that schools actively support these factors during the teaching and learning processes. The Ministry of Education needs to require all schools to implement student-motivating policies.

Abstract

With the advent and rapid advancement of text mining technology, a computer-based approach used to capture sentiment standpoints from data in textual form is increasingly becoming a promising field. Detailed information about sentiment can be provided using aspect-based sentiment analysis, which can be used in better decision-making. This study aims to study, observe, and classify previous methods used in aspect-based sentiment analysis. A systematic review is adopted as the method used to collect and review papers to achieve this research's aim. Papers focused on sentiment analysis, aspect extraction, and aspect aggregation from different academic databases such as Scopus, ScienceDirect, IEEE Explore, and Web of Science were gathered based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria of the study. The gathered papers were further reviewed to answer the stated research questions. The findings from the research show the most used methods for aspect extraction, sentiment analysis, and aspect aggregation in aspect-based sentiment analysis. This research offers a robust synthesis of evidence to guide further academic exploration in sentiment analysis.

Abstract

This study looked into how using a laboratory teaching style affected the math performance of elementary school students, in Ijebu Ode, Ogun State, Nigeria. A quantitative study was adopted using Pre-test, Post-test, and Control group quasi-experimental designs. The study involved a total of seventy (70) primary four pupils, separated into two whole groups from separate institutions. We used one class as the experimental group, where the laboratory teaching strategy was implemented and the other class served as the control group, utilizing conventional teaching methods. Mathematics performance tests (r = 0.76) were administered to collect data on academic performance, in addition to carrying out the experimental group's treatment plan and the control group's traditional methods. An analysis of the data was done with ANCOVA, revealing the laboratory teaching technique has a noteworthy favorable impact on students' academic performance. However, gender was found to have not much influence on academic achievement, and likewise, the interaction effect was not significant. The findings bolster the assertion that the laboratory teaching strategy is an effective way to raise primary school pupils' performance in mathematics. As a recommendation, it is suggested that mathematics teachers should be encouraged to integrate this approach into their teaching practices.

Abstract

This study examined the impact of broken homes (family conflicts, substance abuse, and single-parent households) on Junior secondary school students' mathematical performance in Abeokuta North Local Government Area, Ogun State, Nigeria. A survey research design using a quantitative approach was used, and a convenient sampling technique guided the selection of 5 schools from the population, of which 300 students were selected using simple random sampling. Four research questions guided this study. Broken Homes Questionnaire and Mathematics Academic Performance Test (MAPT) with reliability coefficients of 0.73 and 0.68, respectively, were used. The data were analyzed using regression analysis and descriptive statistics. Findings reveal no impact of family conflict, but substance abuse and single-parent households show a great impact on junior secondary school learners' performance in mathematics. Lastly, the results also show that the joint impact of the three variables has a great influence on the children's performance in school. In conclusion, single parenting, substance abuse, and family conflicts have an adverse effect on learners' academic performance. This is clearly linked to the looking-glass theory, emphasizing that a child will become what he experienced at home, which will, in turn, after the academic career. It is recommended that students from broken homes should be properly monitored, secured, and controlled

Abstract

Stakeholders in education must understand the relationship between students' mathematical performance and their mathematical skills in order to develop a more effective mathematics curriculum and education. It is on this basis that this study examined mathematical skills as a predictor of students’ performance in secondary school mathematics in Ogun State, Nigeria. The survey design used for this study was descriptive. The population of this study consisted of all Senior Secondary School Two (SSS2) students in Ogun State. Four hundred eighty (480) secondary school students from the SSS2 class comprised the study sample. In this study, simple random and purposeful sampling methods were used. Purposive sampling technique was used to select twelve (12) schools among secondary schools in Ogun State, while the simple random sampling technique was used to select forty (40) respondents from each school. For this study, two research questions were used. The instruments used for data collection are: Mathematics Performance Test (r = 0.762); Numerical Skills Test (r = 0.86); Spatial Reasoning Test (r = 0.78); and Problem-solving Style Questionnaire (r = 0.82). The results showed a significant positive relationship between mathematical skills and students’ performance in mathematics. The correlation of independent variables in relation to the performance of students in mathematics is as follows: Numerical skills (r=0.122,p<0.05); Spatial skills (r=0.182, p<0.05); and Problem-solving skills (r=0.139,p<0.05) respectively. It was further revealed that mathematical skills relatively contributed to students’ academic performance in mathematics. It was then concluded that mathematical skills are an important factor that enhances students’ performance in mathematics.
