Control Study

The study investigated the relationship between Locus of Control, Study Habits, Gender, and Attitude of senior secondary schools physics students in Ibadan metropolis. The study focused on the extent to which Locus of Control, Study Habit and Gender predicted senior secondary schools students Attitude to physics in Ibadan metropolis. The study adopted the descriptive survey research design of the correlational type. The population for the study comprised all senior secondary school 3 (SS3) Physics students in Ibadan Metropolis. Seven hundred and fifty (750) senior secondary 3 (SS3) Physics students were randomly selected from 30 schools in the five local government areas of Ibadan Metropolis. Three instruments were used for data collection. The instruments are Locus of Control Scale (LOCS) with a reliability coefficient of (0.86), Study Habit Questionnaire (SHQ) with a reliability coefficient of (0.89) and Physics Attitude Test Questionnaire (PATQ) with a reliability coefficient of (0.70). Four (4) research questions were raised and answered, using descriptive statistics of mean, inferential statistics of Pearson Product Moment Correlation and Multiple Regression Analysis. Findings of the study showed that the students have an internal Locus of Control. There is a significant composite relationship between the independent variables (Locus of Control, study habits and Gender) and Attitude of students to Physics, with R=.521a, which is equivalent to 52.1%. This indicates a good level of prediction. R2 = 0.271, which is equivalent to 27.1%, indicating the level of shared variance between the dependent variable and the independent variables. Locus of control has the highest contribution with unstandardized coefficient of 0.356 and standardized coefficient of 0.334, while gender has the least contribution with standardized coefficient of .016 and unstandardized coefficient of 0.002. There is a significant relationship between students’ locus of control and students’ attitude to physics [ r=.434, n=750,p=<0.01]. There is no relationship between Gender and Attitude of students to physics [r=-.041,n=750, p=<0.01]. The study concluded that locus of control; study habits and gender are predictors of students’ attitude to physics. The study recommends that necessary instructional methods that will enhance students’ locus of control and study habits be adopted; and gender related issues should be de-emphasis in senior secondary school physics teaching and learning.

The present study examined the influence of hardiness and achievement motivation of adolescents. The sample comprised 400 adolescents of senior secondary schools (Boys and Girls section) of Aligarh Muslim University and Aligarh Public School, Aligarh (U.P.). There were 200 adolescents from science stream (100 boys and 100 girls) and 200 adolescents from social science stream (100 boys and 100 girls). Sample was further divided on the basis of scores obtained on hardiness scale as low hardy and high hardy. Low hardy subjects score ranges from 84 to 98 and the high hardy subjects score ranges from 111 to 134. The short version of Hardiness Scale (HS) developed by Kobasa and Maddi (1982) and achievement motivation scale (AMS) was constructed and standardized by Shah Beena (1986) used in the present study. Results revealed that main effect of hardiness was found statistically significant on achievement motivation of adolescent’s i.e., achievement motivation level of high hardy adolescents were found much better than low hardy adolescents. Further, gender also has significant effect on achievement motivation, i.e., boys scored higher than girls which imply that they have different levels of competence. Adolescents of both streams (Science and Social sciences) did not differ on their achievement motivation.

Educational psychology is considered as an important branch of modern psychology. In it with study of behavior of a child to an old man is done scientifically in context of his learning environment. And the concept of motivation has taken many forms; It appears in our folklore, in our traditions and customs, in our great philosophical systems, and in our more recent science of behavior. The common and unifying element in these diverse conceptions is that motivation is an agency or factor or force that helps to explain behavior. The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between Study Habits and Achievement motivation of college students of Halol city in Gujarat state. In this research paper Study Habits inventory and Achievement Motivation inventory was used. The random sample (N=111) was taken from college. The product-moment coefficient of correlation method and “ t ” test was calculated to find out the result. Results showed positive relationship between Study Habits and Achievement motivation. It was also found that Study Habits and Achievement motivation are not gender sensitive. The high group of Study Habit students has achieved high results in Achievement then the low group of Study Habits students. The detail results are indicating in the paper.

The study investigated the relationship between Locus of Control, Study Habit, Gender and Academic Achievement of senior secondary school physics students in Ibadan metropolis. The descriptive survey research design was adopted. Seven hundred and fifty senior secondary two (SS2) Physics students were randomly selected from 30 schools in the five local Governments areas of Ibadan Metropolis. Three instruments were used for data collection. The instruments are Physics Achievement Test (PAT) (r = 0.70), Locus of Control Scale (LOCS) (0.86) and Study Habit Questionnaire (SHQ) (0.89). Two (2) research questions were answered, using inferential statistics of t-test, and multiple regression analysis. Findings of the study showed that there is a relationship between locus of control and Academic Achievement [r=0.216, n=750,p= <0.01]. It was found that Locus of Control, Study Habits and Gender predicted students’ academic achievement of Students, with R=0.203, which is equivalent to 20.3%. This however indicates a poor level of prediction. R2 = 0.041, which is equivalent to 4.1%, indicating a very poor level of shared variance between the dependent variable and the independent variables. The study recommends the adoption of the instructional methods that will enhance students’ locus of control and the promotion of good study habits among senior secondary school physics students. Governments, education administrators, and school authorities should consider the joint interactive influence of locus of control, study habits and gender when designing programs for physics.

Motivation And Achievement

Motivation is imperative because it affects our lives every day. Motivation is the innate drive for all of our activities. All of our behaviors, actions, hope, and beliefs are altered by our inner drive to flourish. Our motives for achievement can range from living needs to satisfying creative needs or realizing success in competitive endeavors.

This study investigated senior secondary school students’ motivation to learning mathematics and gender as correlates of performance in mathematics. The sample consisted of 315 students from two government senior secondary schools in Lagos State, Nigeria using the quantitative research method within the blueprint of the descriptive survey research design. Data collected were analysed using percentages, means, standard deviation, independent samples t-test, Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient (PPMCC) and standard and stepwise multiple linear regression analysis. Findings from the study revealed that there was a very high level of motivation to learn mathematics among senior secondary schools’ students in Nigeria. There was a significant influence of gender on students’ performance in mathematics but not on motivation to learn mathematics. It was also revealed that self-efficacy, gender and intrinsic motivation were the major significant predictors of performance in mathematics among the sample studied. Based on these findings, future studies in Nigeria should attempt to investigate the psychometric properties of the motivation to learn mathematics scale.
