University students face a lot of challenges that influence their academic activities. Such challenges are
observed to be caused by personal or institutional factors which could lead to poor performance if not
addressed. This study examined personal factors affecting students’ studies that could result in low
academic performance among education students in Ekiti State University. The population comprised all
education students in the Faculty of Education. A sample of 195 students was selected from 400 level
through convenience sampling technique. Aself-designed and validated questionnaire was used to solicit
response from respondents while split-half method was employed to test for reliability which yielded 0.79
coefficients. Data collected were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics at 0.05 alpha
level.Findings revealed that low study habit, overload of academic work, lack of learning materials, living
off campus, influence of social media, and inability to manage time were personal factors affecting
students’ studies in the university. The study recommended among others that students need to manage
andprioritisetime spent on academic tasks in order to work more efficiently to achieve desired academic
goal.
The document discusses the Mother Tongue-Based Multilingual Education (MTB-MLE) approach implemented by the Department of Education in the Philippines. The goals of MTB-MLE are to develop children's cognitive and reasoning skills using their native language initially, with a transition to Filipino and English, while preserving Philippine cultures. It identifies 12 major languages for the approach. MTB-MLE is important as it provides learners a strong foundation in their first language and acts as a bridge to additional languages, helping children perform better in their education over time.
The document outlines criteria for evaluating information and communication technology (ICT) tools for educational purposes.

SCHOOL-BASED READING INTERVENTION PROGRAM
The study sought to determine the reading proficiency of 296 Junior High School
students of Calaitan National High School in relation to the following profiles: ethnicity,
first language spoken, exposure to print and non-print reading materials, and grade level.
The least mastered reading skills were determined through the validated Reading
Proficiency Test that includes the skills on using phonetic analysis, using contextual
clues, using idioms, getting the main idea and identifying facts and opinions, predicting
outcomes, drawing conclusions, following directions, using parts of the book, and using
dictionaries, encyclopedia and other reference materials and using the internet.
Descriptive-developmental survey method was used in the study. The instrument used in
the study has two parts: the first part determines the profile of the respondents; and the
second part was the 50-item reading test of the thirteen skills being tested. The following
statistical treatment were used in the study: (1) percentage and frequency to describe the
profile of the respondents and (2) mean and mean percentage score (MPS) to determine
the least mastered reading skills (below 60 % MPS) of the respondents. The study
revealed that out of thirteen (13) reading skills, identifying facts and opinions fall under
beginning level with a mean percentage score of 27.75% and the rest of the skills are
under developing level. Their profiles particularly exposure to print and non-print reading
materials and grade level influence their reading proficiency level. The results of the study were considered in the development of the reading intervention program and the
reading materials that will be used in the conduct of the intervention. It is recommended
that the school administrator adopt the proposed reading intervention to aid the least
mastered reading skills of the junior high school students. Researchers are encouraged to
validate the content and usability of the reading materials as well as to conduct an action
research on the proposed intervention program.

Computer Science and Bachelor of Science in Information System. The respondents of the study are the
students enrolled in College of Computing Studies, Information and Communication Technology. 50% are
boarder students and 50% are commuter students. The researcher floated a questionnaire to the
respondents to obtain the desired output. Likert scale was the analysis tool used in this study to analyze
and evaluate the response of the respondents. Based on the result of the evaluation of the study, commuter
students are more conscious of their grades than boarder students; commuters are more active in
participating in class discussion, organization, leading a group, and other than the boarder students. The
commuter got better academic and non-academic performance than the boarder students yet boarder
students got less possibility in encountering risk in their daily routine.

CARRIER DECISIONS OF SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS AND THEIR CHOICE OF ACADEMIC...AMPOFO AGYEI JUSTICE
This document discusses a study on how senior high school students' career decisions affect their choice of academic programs. The study used questionnaires and interviews to collect data from 80 first-year students at Kadjebi-Asato Senior High School in Ghana. The findings showed that students' career decisions strongly influence their program selection. Factors like interests, abilities, parental and peer influence, values, teacher advice, and parents' occupations were considered in students' career decisions. The study recommends that schools provide more career guidance services like guidance counseling, career fairs and clubs to help students make realistic career and program choices.

The study explored the effects of students’ absenteeism on student academic and school performance in Uganda. The study also assessed the effectiveness of class attendance monitoring tool; the challenges faced by the school administration in dealing with absentee student(s); and established the relationship between students’ absenteeism and academic performance of students. The relevant literature was reviewed to anchor the methodology and the findings. The study adopted descriptive cross-sectional survey design. A combination of stratified and purposive sampling was applied to accommodate the variety of respondents from Serere, Soroti, Kumi and Ngora districts in Teso sub-region; North Eastern Uganda. The study used questionnaires and interview schedules to collect primary data from 349 respondents who participated in the study out of the expected 384 obtained from a target population of 100,000 giving a response rate of 90.89%. The findings shows that the monitoring tools used for students’ attendance are effective (good) and there is a very positive relationship between student attendance and academic performance. The researcher also found that school attendance affects both the students and the school performance. To the students; it leads to poor academic performance, students drop out, graduating half-baked students, poor curriculum coverage and loss of interest in learning whist to the school; it affects the school image, lower the students’ enrollment, transfer of students by parents, wastage of teachers’ and administrators’ time and affects the university/tertiary enrolment. However, the school administration faces challenges of; interruption of lessons, students being hostile/belligerent to teachers, and parents defending their children whilst dealing with absenteeism students. The study also provides the practical and most effective strategies to improve students’ attendance. These staregies include; promoting Zero Tolerance to Students Absenteeism, parental involvement and participation, developing students’ mentoring programmes, improving “rich” student’s programmes, promoting guidance and counseling, promote good communication, reward students with regular attendance, and need to monitor and supervise school attendance. The researcher concludes that, to support students academically in and out of school; administrators, teachers, and families need to have a shared understanding of their children’s learning and work as partners to meet their academic and social-emotional needs.

Evolving Needs of Community College Students
Historical Background
Community colleges were initially not distinctly identified on their own. Until the Clinton reforms of community colleges in the 1980s, community colleges were no different from junior colleges. The programs and organizational culture were not as developed, and the student needs were rarely attended to in the diverse way that they are today (Gavazzi et al., 2018). Students were assumed to be homogenous, with either a low economic background or substantially flat academic prowess. After the recognition and reinstatement as accredited institutions of merit, community college missions changed and became more student-centered.
The core programs were initially only vocational and for transfer to university purposes. Developmental education was not adequately developed, yet it contributed in a massive way to student retention and the student's ability to finish the program and progress to higher education. Community colleges have been very rigid in their approach to learning, governance, and even administration (Beach, 2011). Most of the changes that occur do not affect the entire institution but are marginalized to transform only a select few. These changes either influence a certain courses based on profitability or the trends in the business world, but rarely extend to other programs within the colleges.
Fiscal policies in community colleges are primarily dependent on the federal government because community college facilities are supposed to encourage the most economically disadvantaged. Tuition is very low compared to the capacity building needed to run the institutions, and the result is that the community colleges suffer from an ultimate shortage in the facility and consolidated programs that undermine the skill sets offered to the students (O'Banion, 2019). Traditionally this has been crippling the system’s ability to change the approach in which the curriculum, administration and governance is run.It creates a shortage of staff for capacity building purposes and an overall decline in the quality of education offered within the institution.
Current issues
Current issues relating to students' evolving needs include student performances that have been diverse depending on factors such as program choice. Programs in health sciences, for instance, have seen a very consistent high-performance culture that has been aided by the level of competency that the students in the courses (Fugle & Falk, 2015). About 98 percent of the students in classes such as a physician assistant, physical and occupational therapy, radiologic technicians, and nursing assistance have seen a very high return on investment in terms of their absorption into the workforce or their progression into b.
The Effect of the Involvement Intensity in Extracurricular Activities and Sof...inventionjournals
There are many graduates of higher education who are academically good, but weak in terms of soft skills; and it is becoming main cause of unemployment among the educated. This study examines the relationship between the intensity of involvement in extracurricular activities with soft skills quality and work readiness of the graduates. The population in this study was college graduates in East Java in 2014. The sample was determined by accidental sampling technique for college graduates in Surabaya, Malang, Jember and Kediri. Data analysis was done by using multiple analysis of variance. The results showed the more intensively involved in extracurricular activities, the better quality of soft skills and work readiness which the graduates have. Suggestion is proposed to universities to develop extracurricular activities that must be followed by all students.

HISTORY AS A DETERMINANT OF MALAWIMOZAMBIQUE RELATIONS: THE CASE OF THE NSANJ...John1Lorcan
Using the Nsanje international inland port saga as a case study, this paper employs the realism theory to
examine the historically difficult relationship between Malawi and Mozambique. Based on data gathered
from interviews and previously published studies, the study's final conclusion is that Malawi’s bilateral
relations with Mozambique are the product and continue to be shaped by history. Because the relationship
between the two states is historically based on the provision of services especially port facilities, the
Nsanje inland port is at loggerheads with Mozambique’s national economic interests as it seeks to put an
end to the historically rooted modus operandi of the relationship. The study recommends mandatory
feasibility studies before starting projects, placing the port project on hold, continuing with the current
foreign policy which to a great extent appeases Mozambique and finding some use for the port structures
which currently constitute a white elephant.
MEASURING INCLUSIVE GROWTH IN SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA FROM 1996 TO 2019: EVIDENCE ...John1Lorcan
Since inception, the concept of inclusive growth has been defined and measured differently among scholars
and policymakers. This paper measures inclusive growth in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) from 1996 to 2019.
A principal component analysis and weighted mean approaches have been applied following the Eurasian
Economic Commission, and 20 methodologies. The study findings show that the inclusive growth index is
sensitive to the measurement approach used due to different sets of indicators and dimensions. However,
the methodologies provide a basis for comparing country performance. In addition, in both methodologies,
economic performance was found to be a significant contributor to inclusive growth. Countries with higher
economic performance witnessed higher inclusive growth. From the findings, policymakers could rely on
more than one measurement approach to determine inclusive growth. This will enable them develop policy
measures which address various dimensions that each of the SSA countries need to robustly invest and
improve.

This article aims to look at the World Heritage Site from the perspective of curatorial studies and aesthetic
philosophy. The Darmstadt Artists' Colony made an enormous contribution to art and formed a bridge
between the British Arts & Crafts movement and the German Association of Craftsmen, which eventually
led to the Bauhaus movement. The last Grand Duke of Hesse and the Rhine was not only a patron who
founded this Artists' Colony, but also a prominent curator together with the Austrian architect and one of
the founders of the Vienna Secession, Joseph Maria Olbrich. Together they combined economic
development with artistic innovation. The establishment of the Darmstadt Artists' Colony was a sensation
in the art world. Itmarked the beginning of the 20th century, turning everyday life into an aesthetic

BLACK FUTURES: COLLECTING SOCIOCULTURAL DATA THROUGH MACHINE LEARNINGJohn1Lorcan
Although African American community archives have appeared, there is a lack of incorporation of
information-seeking, behaviour, language transmission, categorization, and community archival datasets
in data collection and machine learning (ML) environments. To address this, as the autoethnographer, I
propose to develop a future body of research targeting the African American community in Texas,
obtaining valuable insights about their engagement with ML. Eun Seo Jo's literature review emphasizes the
roles of community archives in ML environments and the strategies necessary for this space to be
considered a valuable resource in research and information. As the autoethnographer, I use this research
to explore effective strategies for machine learning environments to collaborate with African American
community archives and incorporate user input into ML data collection practices. The aim of the study is
to examine an original body of literature to aid me with my plan of action in creating a research study
about machine learning in African American community archives.

Gender Inequiality in Higher Music Educaiton in China: Historical and Contemp...John1Lorcan
Gender inequality is higher music education is a significant issue in China, shaped by both historical and contemporary factors that influence the opportunities available to women in this field. This paper offers a comprehensive analysis of the challenges encountered by women in higher music education in China, examining the impact of traditional Chinese philosophy, Western missionaries, and the Chinese Government on gender relations and opportunities in music education. Drawing upon existing literature and data, this paper addresses three main research areas pertaining to women’s education in China’s higher education: the historical evolution of women’s education in China, from traditional to modern times, in order to examine the progression of educational opportunities for women; the current landscape of opportunities for women’s education and involvement in music practices within China’s higher music education; and the existing employment framing issues that women face in higher music education in China, in comparison to their male counterparts. While acknowledging the increasing educational opportunities available to women in contemporary China, this paper recognizes that societal expectations and gender stereotypes can still impede women’s access to teaching careers and other music-related professions. These challenges have substantial implications for women’s education, music practices, and employability, underscoring the importance for policymakers and educators to actively promote gender equality within higher education.

DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION OF SOCIAL WELFARE: EXPLORING INNOVATIONS AND POLICY IM...John1Lorcan
The digital transformation of social welfare systems is an area that is fast developing and has a lot of
potential to improve service delivery and improve outcomes for both people and communities. The goal of
this research paper is to examine the policy changes and innovations brought about by the digital
revolution of social welfare. It investigates the adoption of emerging technologies, such as artificial
intelligence, big data analytics, and blockchain, in various domains of social welfare, including healthcare,
education, employment, and social assistance programs. The paper examines the potential benefits of
digital transformation, including increased efficiency, improved access to services, and personalized
support. It also delves into the challenges and concerns associated with this transformation, such as data
privacy, equity, and the digital divide. By analysing successful case studies and lessons learned from
different countries, the paper highlights key policy considerations for ensuring the effective and equitable
implementation of digital innovations in social welfare. Policy implications discussed include the need for
robust regulatory frameworks to protect data privacy, the importance of ethical guidelines to guide the use
of emerging technologies, and the necessity of capacity building initiatives to equip stakeholders with the
necessary skills and knowledge. The paper emphasizes the importance of creating inclusive, people-centric
social welfare systems that leverage the potential of digital technologies to meet the evolving needs of
individuals and communities.
Overall, this research paper provides valuable insights into the digital transformation of social welfare,
offering policymakers and stakeholders a comprehensive understanding of the opportunities, challenges,
and policy considerations involved. By embracing digital innovations thoughtfully and responsibly, social
welfare systems can become more efficient, responsive, and equitable, ultimately improving the lives of
those in need.
THE ENGLISH LEARNING MOTIVATION OF CHINESE STUDENTS: CROSS-GRADE SURVEY ANALYSISJohn1Lorcan
Existing literature indicates that motivation is the most powerful determining factor that influences the rate
and success of second language learning [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. Currently, there is a growing body of
empirical research indicating the changes in second language learning motivation in different grades at
the same or different schools [8][9][10][11][12]. The findings of previous studies have mostly shown that
student second language learning motivation increases with increasing school levels. Do¨rnyei (2000)
suggested that concentrating on the time dimension of second language motivation is crucial for
comprehending the second language motivation of students. However, the temporal variations of second
language motivation, particularly motivational changes at different Chinese school levels, have not been
sufficiently emphasized by second language motivation researchers, therefore, this quantitative research
investigated the changes in Chinese students’ English learning motivation from primary to high school. An
English learning motivation questionnaire was used and administered to 3000 students from Grades 1 - 12
in public primary, junior high, and high schools across Mainland China, and employed the reliability
analysis and analysis of variance to analyze quantitative data. The statistical results revealed that high
school students ranked highest in English learning motivation, followed by junior high and primary school
students. Furthermore, the college entrance examination had a positive impact on high school students'
motivation to learn English.
SHEIKH MUJIBUR RAHMAN: CHARISMATIC LEADER OF BANGLADESHJohn1Lorcan
Sheikh Mujibur Rahman is one of the most charismatic leaders of the Third World in the twentieth century.
We know that Charismatic leaders are the gifts and mercy from God. They are torch bearers of knowledge
and revolution. Every nation in one way or the other has been and is endowed with leaders and same is the
case of Bangladesh nation which was fortunate enough to have a leader like Sheikh Mujibur Rahman who
guided them in the times of freedom struggle, and trusted them into the region which dawned tranquility of
mind and unshackled boundaries. It is in fact an old saying that good leaders build good nations which is
equally true with the Bangladesh nation for which sheikh Mujibur Rahman sacrificed every breath and
blood of his life and mapped a new nation in the world. The paper discusses the main achievements of the
leader and particularly the independence of Bangladesh of which Mujib was the pivotal figure. The result
revealed that Sheikh Mujib was stimulated people by his charismatic leadership capability and huge
political knowledge. From his early life he was demonstrated two key leadership qualities which make him
unquestionable leader of the Bangladesh. One key quality was proactive social consciousness and
paramount dedication for politics. Sheikh Mujib has so many leadership skills that recognized him as a
leader of general people. His aspiration and sacrifice for nation made him an icon of the country.
Therefore, it can be concluded that his leadership trait made himself as a father of the nation. The people
of Bangladesh had dreamt of an independent nation and that dream was finally implemented in really on
16Th December 1971 under the leadership of a true Patriot Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. Bangladesh and its
people were blessed with God‟s will of sending the Greatest Bengali Soul of all time on the soil of
Tungipara. That greatest soul was nobody else but it is our “Father of the Nation” – Bangabandhu -
Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. He was the greatest politician, philosopher and tourism lover the world has ever
produced. He was the kindest person the world has ever noticed, he loved everyone more than he loved his
own family and children. This study was carried out by descriptive analysis through the literature review of
existing paper
WOMEN AND AGRICULTURE IN RURAL KENYA: ROLE IN AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONJohn1Lorcan
Women play a very significant role in agricultural production in Kenya. However, they are accorded little
attention. The lack of inadequate information on the level of women participation in agricultural
production has helped to underestimate their importance in agricultural production and hence led to their
neglect in sector development. This paper sought to examine the role of women in Agricultural production
in Kenya to give them an impetus upon which they can voice their concern in agricultural related issues. To
improve women visibility in agricultural production, the author suggests that women contribution to
agricultural production should be understood based on their contribution to food security in household and
community rather than their contribution to commercialised agriculture which is dominated by men. With
this, the author hopes to persuade policymakers to re-examine their perception of rural women involved in
agricultural production for prompt policy action.

LAND OWNERSHIP RIGHTS AND ACCESS TO FARMLANDS BY FARMERS AND HERDERS IN THE K...John1Lorcan
Land is seen in societies as a vital natural asset, and the worth of this resource to human through time and
space cannot be underestimated. The purpose of this research was to examine land ownership rights and
access to farmlands by farmers and herders in the Kwahu East District (KED) in the Eastern Region of
Ghana. Qualitatively, the study adopted a descriptive case study research design. This research was based
on two objectives: to examine land ownership rights in the Kwahu East District, and determine how
farmers and herders get access to farmlands. The study population involved residents of three communities
in the Kwahu East District, namely, Yaw Tenkorang, Kwaku Sarfo and Bebua. The purposive sampling
technique was used to select 4 traditional leaders, 10 farmers, 10 herdsmen and cattle owners, 3 Assembly
members, the District Chief Executive, the District Commander of Police, and the District Land Officer.
The study concluded that, land ownership rights in KED were based on the allodia and usufruct systems,
which vest land ownership rights in the hands of traditional authorities and family heads. Again, the study
showed that, indigenous farmers lay claim to greater rights over the lands compared to herders who are
considered as aliens, without any land ownerswhip rights. The study revealed measures initiated to find
lasting solution to this conflict. It is recommended that; the Municipal Assembly must concentrate more
effort in establishiing adequate fodder banks for cattle. Again, the practice of ranching must be
encouraged amongst cattle owners and herders to prevent unwanted competition over land use.

DEMOCRACY OR LIBERAL AUTOCRACY; THE CASE OF AFRICAJohn1Lorcan
The state of democracy in Africa continues to be one of the most controversial and difficult questions facing
the continent today. While African regimes are more liberal than their authoritarian predecessors, they
have a profound flaw. The African governments have increasingly adopted important aspects of
constitutional liberalism necessary for democracy to flourish and includes rule of law, private property
rights, separation of powers and free speech and assembly. However, the results of such democratic
initiatives have not bored the intended fruits as the continent continue to witness outright reversals of
democracy. For instance, elections are becoming a means of power preservation and a large number of
countries have very low levels of democratic quality. This paper, therefore, seeks to examine this dire state
of democracy in Africa to inform discussions on why African governments should be regarded as a Liberal
Autocracies and not democratic.
CIVIC EDUCATION AND IT’S IMPERATIVE TOWARDS NATION BUILDING: THE NIGERIAN EXA...John1Lorcan
Most countries of the world today originated as a result of the activities of colonialists and imperialists
who merged previously independent nations together for the sole reason of domination and exploitation.
Following the end of colonial era and the resulting freedom of previously colonized people, many countries
have been struggling to live together as the nation which their erstwhile colonial masters made them. This
has often resulted to conflicts and crises, the worst of it being the Rwandan genocide of 1994. Due to these
incidences, social researchers have intensified efforts in designing programs that will facilitate the very act
of nation-building/or prevent a devastating effect that may result from a failure thereof. This paper,
therefore, attempts to suggest Civic Education as one of the models that can help facilitate nation-building
project especially in countries affected by the effects of colonization. The work employed the normative
method of philosophy, while also not leaving behind the evaluative and analytical side of the method.
SLEUTHING WOMEN:GENDER IN THE ART OF JAPANESE DETECTIVE FICTION AND FILMJohn1Lorcan
Although it remains one of the most popular genres worldwide, detective fiction is usually regarded as a
purely commercial form. Because of this, detective novels, short stories, and films are rarely subjected to
the same critical scrutiny and attention as other, more respected modes of writing and representation.
Nevertheless, because of its attention to the character of everyday life, detective fiction is a perfect case
study for determining national attitudes towards gender. Generally speaking, women perform three
different functions in Japanese detective fiction. They are either hapless victims, minor plot devices, or (on
rare occasions) agents of detection themselves. This paper surveys several works of detective fiction,
ranging from the early- to mid-twentieth century, to demonstrate the evolving function that women have
played, both in the genre and in the society that the genre reflects

CREATIVE EDUCATION, MUSIC PRACTICES, AND GENDER DIFFERENCES AMONG YOUNG CHINE...John1Lorcan
Over the last two decades, China has placed more emphasis on learning and practice in the process of
fostering creativity in school education. Music inflames the mind and is the key to creativity. Music
practices have drawn the attention of many scholars fascinated with their creative properties in both
musical and non-musical domains. With particular reference to Shijiazhuang (the capital and largest city
in northern China’s Hebei Province), this study aimed to examine the under-researched connection
between gender, education, and creative music practices (broadly described as music as a culture of
imagination and real-time practice in the learning of diverse music styles and in the participation of music
activities in formal and informal learning contexts) as perceived by young Chinese students. The study
employed a self-reported survey questionnaire distributed to a sample of students aged eight to 17
attending Grade 4 through Grade 9 in 10 schools located in the city of Shijiazhuang (N = 2,015) conducted
between 2019 and 2020. Generally speaking, girls were more positive regarding the value of creativity in
school music education, as well as the music practices of diverse music cultures and music activities. This
paper will conclude with a debate on the ways that “gender” is comprehended, carried out, and discerned
in response to the students’ influential sources and their preferred school subjects in learning creativity,
their preferred music styles, and their preferred participation in music activities in both school music
lessons and extracurricular activities in learning creativity in the Chinese context.

PERSONAL FACTORS INFLUENCING UNIVERSITY
STUDENTS’ STUDIES
Oluwagbohunmi, Margaret Folu Ph.D

Ado Ekiti, Nigeria
ABSTRACT
University students face a lot of challenges that influence their academic activities. Such challenges are
observed to be caused by personal or institutional factors which could lead to poor performance if not
addressed. This study examined personal factors affecting students’ studies that could result in low
academic performance among education students in Ekiti State University. The population comprised all
education students in the Faculty of Education. A sample of 195 students was selected from 400 level
through convenience sampling technique. Aself-designed and validated questionnaire was used to solicit
response from respondents while split-half method was employed to test for reliability which yielded 0.79
coefficients. Data collected were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics at 0.05 alpha
level.Findings revealed that low study habit, overload of academic work, lack of learning materials, living
off campus, influence of social media, and inability to manage time were personal factors affecting
students’ studies in the university. The study recommended among others that students need to manage
andprioritisetime spent on academic tasks in order to work more efficiently to achieve desired academic
goal.

1. INTRODUCTION
Education is a process through which individual acquires knowledge, skills, competences and
aptitudes to fit properly into the society and contribute meaningfully to its growth. Education is
germane to sustainable development as it imparts the knowledge and skills that drive the
economy. Adeoluwa (2017) was of the view that it is with sound education that the society
reviews its goals and methods and charts a new course for the attainment of its
development.University education is an advanced level of education offered after successful
completion of secondary education. University education is important due to its numerous
benefits such as award of certificate to prove proficiency in a specialised field of study, provision
of gainful employment, acquisition of real life experiences, acquisition of necessary knowledge
and skills for ensuring financial freedom and helping individuals live redefined, purposeful and
self-discovery life. World Bank (2021) highlighted the benefits of tertiary education to include
higher employment, higher wages, greater social stability, increased civic engagement and better
health outcomes. Higher education is instrumental in fostering growth, reducing poverty and
boosting shared prosperity.
Offer of admission into university by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) in
Nigeria is usually met with gladsome mind and a lot of jubilation by parents and most especially
the ward concerned. It is a known fact that this offer cannot come without the ward having put in
2. International Journal of Humanities, Art and Social Studies (IJHAS), Vol. 8, No.1, February 2023
42
all their best at the various stages of examinations prior to writing the ultimate JAMB
examination. A good performance that earns a child university admission without much stress
usually comes as fulfilment of the expectation of the parents as the child commences a journey
into another new life of campus rigorous academic activities that would determine their future
prospect. In the past, any grade after completion of university education was worth celebrating
and capable of securing a well-paid job. Currently, companies that pay well do scarcely require
anything less than second class upper division grade. To complete university education with a
good grade presupposes that students must have painstakingly engaged in study activities that
ultimately result in exceptional performance. In view of this, Kapur (2018) declared that in order
to attain educational qualification and to enhance one’s skills and abilities, it is vital to do well
academically and obtain good grades.
Ekiti State University, Ado-Ekiti is a non-residential state owned institution where students pay
moderate school fees and pay for accommodation in hostels owned by private individuals. As a
common practice in higher institutions of learning in this digital age, students are mandated to
register on the University portal on semester basis. A duly registered student will have access to
information on academic matters, progress report, information from management and other
matters. Portal registration strictly requires mandatory payment of acceptance fees (for new
entrants only), tuition fee, smart school fee among others. Being a non-residential institution, the
students have options of living in the university hostel, outside the campus (but within school
environment) or in town. Living around campus means getting accommodation in hostels
belonging to private individuals who charge exorbitant prices. Those living close to the school
can easily walk to get there within few minutes; those living far always spend money on
commercial motorcycle while those in town pay transport fare. All these expenses form part of
cost of University education.
For the money invested in education to yield positive outcome, students have to put their best into
studies or academic activities to ensure that sponsors are not ultimately disappointed. Students’
studies refer to whatever student does in relation to learning which is usually termed academic
activities. Academic related activities performed by students as highlighted by Federal Student
Handbook (2020-2021) are: physically attending a class for direct interaction between instructor
and students, submitting assignment, taking examination, an interactive tutorial or computer-
assisted instruction, attending study group assigned by the school, participating in online
discussion about academic matters and initiating contact with a faculty member to ask questions
about academic subjects being studied. For a student to record high performance, persistent and
active study, setting appropriate goals, a good study environment and effective time management
were considered important by Killen and Fraser (2003).
2. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Many students record low performance due to some factors that affect their studies in academic
environment. Such factors are categorised as personal, social, institutional or academic factors.
From observation, personal factors otherwise known as individual factors that affect students’
studies are living off campus, poor family background, lack of learning materials, problem of
time management, low study habit, irregular lecture attendance, influence of social media and
engagement in menial jobs. Students affected by any of these factors could end up with very low
grade that may not be presentable for any good job application. This has an implication that such
graduate will not be able to contribute meaningfully to economic development. Low performance
at early stage such as having very low GPA could lead to withdrawal from the system which
might force such drop out students to be involved in social vices that inflict pain and sorrow on
other people and cause restlessness in the society. Wasting all educational efforts and financial
supports could result into psychological problem for parents and guardians.

3. LITERATURE REVIEW
Several studies have attested to the fact that many factors affect students’ studies that contribute
to low academic performance. Ogbogu (2014) identified factors influencing students'
performance majorly as social, economic, institutional, environmental, psychological and
personal factors which vary across individuals and regions. Zikhali, Chauraya, Madzanire, and
Maphosa (2015) revealed that institutional, academic, social and personal factors were affecting
students’ studies while Oladebinu, Adediran and Oyediran (2018) found that student factor,
parental background, school and teacher factors affected academic performance of colleges of
education students.
Schmelzer, Schmelzer, Figler and Brozo (1987) and Killen and Fraser (2003) found that
academic failure was attributed primarily to lack of study, poor time management and inadequate
goal setting. In the study of Hashim, Khalid and Yahya (2010), it was revealed that laziness, last
minute study, inability to focus on study, weak calculation skill as well as failure to seriously
study for final exam were directly related to students’ weak performance.Ali, Haider, Munir,
Khan, and Ahmed (2013) found age, parent social economic status and daily study hours as
significant predictors of the academic performance of university students in a Pakistani
university. Fagbola, Adeyanju, Oloyede, Obe, Olaniyan et al. (2018) declared that poor
performance have ravaged the academic institutions due to indices of those factors which
influence students' performance. Alam and Khatun (2021) indicated that non-academic issues
such as time spent on social media, part time job to meet educational expense and residential
status were additional factors that determine academic performance.
Time management is the ability to effectively use time in such a way that the right time is
allocated to the right activity. It is using time wisely and productively. It is the strategy of
consciously planning and controlling the amount of available time spent on specific tasks in order
to work more efficiently to achieve desired goals. Gloe (2000) maintained that time management
techniques are the best ways for managing course materials e.g. group study method and that it is
important to learn how to study for multiple choice, true/false, short answer and essay tests,
Through proper time management, students can have discussions, exchange ideas on topics and
memorise key points which help them to do better in examinations as observed by Talib and
Sansgiry (2012). The authors indicated that students found difficulty in managing their study and
leisure time. As rightly observed, students have the habit of trivialising academic matters while
dedicating more time to inconsequential social activities as well as spending quality time on
social media.Students who aspire to be great in life do not have to waste time on frivolities when
they should set priorities, plan their time well and work towards success.
In the university where lecturers teach large number of students, it may not be possible for all
students to properly understand difficult concepts. There is need for materials for more
explanation to aid teacher’s teaching and enhance students’ understanding. In the light of this,
resources such as textbooks, notes, learning materials, hand-out, and access to library/laboratory
facilities are required. Lacour and Tissington (2011) declared that poverty directly affects
academic achievement due to lack of resources for student success. Kapur (2018) added that lack
of essential learning resources can contribute to student’s inability to improve grade.
Poor family background has been observed to be another factor that negatively influence
students’ studies. Poverty is a major barrier to academic achievements and it is the main cause of
financial problem. Inability to pay (or late payment) of service charges prevents students from
being allowed into the examination venue. This has been observed to be problem suffered by
many students from low socio-economic background. Due to non-payment or late payment, such
students fail to write exam, fail to meet the required number of units for result computation, have

their number of years in the university extended and eventually graduate with very low grade or
drop out of the system. Oladebinu, Adediran and Oyediran (2018) identified parental background
as one of the factors that had serious influence on students’ academic performance.
In a book by Biggs (2003), it was confirmed that students faced with huge workloads resort to
surface learning and that learning is only done to complete tasks at the expense of real
understanding of content and mastery of skills. Zikhali, Chauraya, Madzanire, and Maphosa
(2015) in their study in one Zimbabwe University affirmed that overload of academic work was a
factor deemed to affect students learning negatively in a huge way. Kapur (2018) was of the view
that students from parents with low per capital income experience problems not only in meeting
the educational and school requirements but also in meeting their living requirements such as diet
and nutrition, health, medical and so forth. In addition to this, lack of electricity, drinkable water
and good food can disallow students to concentrate wholeheartedly on their studies. Alam and
Khatun (2021) found that poor financial condition of parents acts as hindrance to performance at
tertiary level and that higher family income positively affect academic performance. Some
students spend money on candle when there is no electric power supply, drink untreated water
and eat any food that is available. According to Jusoh, Rahim, Ariff, Masud and Paim (2011),
students faced a plethora of financial problems that resulted in skipping meals in order to save,
borrowing from others for daily needs and failure to have enough money towards end of
semester. Such challenges, invariably, negatively affect learning.
Other factors identified by Zikhali, Chauraya, Madzanire, and Maphosa (2015)in their findings
were lack of time management, lack of requisite materials, computer illiteracy and financial
problems that negatively affected students’ studies while factors such as student accommodation,
relationships and command of the language of instruction did not have much effect. Shahjahan,
Ahmed, Al-Hadrami, Islam, Hossain and Khan (2021) also declared that irregular class
attendance, low education level of the father, partial family cooperation, excessive time spent for
gossiping with friends and excess use of social media were factors responsible for low academic
performance of university students in Bangladesh. In the study of Ajayi and Olaniyi (2022), poor
access to internet facilities, incessant strike, closure of school, lack of well-equipped
departmental and central library, overcrowded examination timetable were seen as institutional
factors influencing students’ academic performance. The authors also found students not writing
continuous assessment, absence in class tutorials, English language proficiency and
communication, low cumulative grade point and family problem as personal factors that
influenced students’ academic performance.
Living off campus is an observed factor that could affect students’ studies and culminate in low
performance. For instance, inability to meet cost of transportation could make student become
irregular lecture attendant, perpetual late comer or unrepentant absentee.Such student would be
known for late submission of assignment and missing of tests or not writing examination.This is
what Awang et al. (2013) regarded as poor attitude towards learning. According to Awang, et al.
(2013), students’ poor attitudes towards learning have been found to have significant relationship
with academic performance resulting in absenteeism and non-participation in continuous
assessment. Omar, Abdulla, Yusof, Hamdan, Nasrudin,andAbulla (2011) and Zikhali, Chauraya,
Madzanire, and Maphosa (2015) declared that students staying off campus experienced problems
in expenses in transport and rentals. Such problems, invariably, negatively affect academic
performance. Some female students in relationship who live with their partners are involved in
household chores such as cleaning, washing clothes/utensils, preparation of food, fetching water,
purchasing of groceries etc. which disallows them from creating time for studies. Engagement in
menial jobs on campus seems to be another factor influencing students’ studies. Such student
would not be able to concentrate and devote time to study and prepare well for exam. The need to
attend to customers, re-stock when necessary and meet other business needs will be promptly and
5. International Journal of Humanities, Art and Social Studies (IJHAS), Vol. 8, No.1, February 2023

industriously attended to at the expense of reading. Any little time created for reading is taken
over by sleep due to fatigue.
University students seem to be among the most active users of the internet and social media. The
internet through social media gives students unrestricted access to journals and articles which
may not be available in libraries and bookshops. Efficacy of social media in enhancing learning
through readily available online education materials was emphasised by authors such as Flad
(2010) and Fasae and Adegbilero-Iwari (2016).Akhtar (2013) opined that immoderate usage of
internet can result to addiction and poor academic attainment among students. Mensah and
Nizain (2016) and Gorhe (2019) revealed that careful use of social media is not harmful but
unconscious use is detrimental to academic performance. Umar and Idris (2018) maintained that
social media usage has negative influence on academic performance. Submission of the authors is
connected with the common observation that most students do not use social network sites for
academic advantage but waste a lot of their time chatting, pinging, uploading pictures, sharing
videos, texting messages and passing unnecessary comments on frivolous matters especially on
Facebook. Affum (2022) found negative impact of internet use which leads to distraction as time
is spent on social media instead of studies.
4. PURPOSE OF THE STUDY
This study identified personal factors affecting students’ studies that could lead to low academic
performance among education students in Ekiti State University. It also determined significant
gender difference in their perception of the factors negatively affecting their academic activities.
Findings from this study would sensitise students to individual factors influencing their studies
and help them on the need to work on identified factors so as to improve academic performance.
The study could also assist parents on the necessity of making adequate provision for educational
materials and resources required by their wards a priority. This would help students (especially
from low socio-economic background) concentrate on their studies for enhanced performance.

performance.
9. DISCUSSION
Findings from the study revealed that overload of academic work, lack of learning
materials, low study habit, poor family background and inability to manage time were
factors negatively influencing students’ academic activities that cause poor performance.
Although the finding on overload of academic work corroborates Zikhali, Chauraya,
Madzanire, and Maphosa (2015), it is a surprise to find that overload of academic work is
perceived as the first factor affecting students’ studies. As undergraduates, students are
expected to be up and doing as they engage in strenuous and rigorous academic activities.
This finding implies laziness on the part of the students who prefer frivolities, pleasure
and socials to hard work and commitment to studies. These findingsalso agree withKillen
and Fraser (2003) on lack of study and poor time management. It also supports Talib and
Sansgiry (2012) that students found difficulty in managing their study and leisure time.
Finding on poor family background as a contributing factor to poor performance is
supported by Oladebinu, Adediran and Oyediran (2018) who identified parental
background as one of the factors that had serious influence on students’ academic
performance. The finding is also in agreement withLacour and Tissington (2011) and
Kapur (2018) that poverty directly affects academic achievement due to lack of resources
for student success and that lack of essential learning resources can contribute to
student’s inability to improve grade. The finding on low study habit implies that due to
the total freedom from parents that the students enjoy when in the university, some have
become very lazy and fail to prioritise their activities in favour of reading and studying.
The finding on poor family background is further amplified by the economic recession
and uncaring attitude of political leaders in the country which has led to high rate of
unemployment, irregular payment of workers’ salaries and impoverished many citizens.
Other factors influencing students’ academic activities that contribute to low academic
performance are influence of social media, living off campus and involvement in love
relationship. On influence of social media, this finding is in consonance with Mensah and
Nizain (2016) and Gorhe (2019) who revealed that unconscious use of social media is
detrimental to academic performance while Umar and Idris (2018) maintained that social
media usage has negative influence on academic performance. The finding on influence
of social media and time management as determinants of poor performance implies that
social media being a sedentary activity takes large amount of time as students screen, surf
the internet for activities that are time wasting and academically unprofitable. The
finding on living off campus agrees with Omar, Abdulla, Yusof, Hamdan, Nasrudin and
Abulla(2011) and Zikhali, Chauraya, Madzanire, and Maphosa (2015) declared that
students staying off campus experienced problems in expenses in transport and rentals.
Such problems affect students’ academic activities as a result of inability to meet cost of
transportation which could lead to irregular lecture attendant, perpetual lateness and
absenteeism, late submission of assignment, missing of tests or not writing
examination.Living off campus may also have the implication that students usually
encounter transportation problem such as sudden hike in transport fare and scarcity of
vehicles especially during fuel scarcity.

Large percentage of the respondents disagreed that engagement in menial jobs and
staying on campus affect students’ academic activities. Students’ disagreement on
engagement in menial jobs is not unconnected with the belief that they have to source for
fund to supplement what parents provide and they do not see it as a problem. On staying
on campus, their disagreement is not to say that students do not encounter problems such
as cult activities, student demonstrations, lack of electricity, attack from unscrupulous
elements among others that could affect their academic activities but they are of the view
that such problems are not personal but institutional and do not significantly contribute to
low performance.
The study also revealed that there was no significant gender difference in students’
perception of factors negatively influencing their academic activities that hinder good
performance. This could be attributed to the fact that both male and female students
experience the challenges caused by personal factors since majority of them come from
low socio-economic background.
10.CONCLUSION
This study examined personal factors that affect students’ studies and could result in low
academic performance among university students. It can be concluded that low study
habit, overload of academic work, lack of learning materials, living off campus, influence
of social media, and inability to manage time are personal factors that influence students’
performance.
11.RECOMMENDATIONS
This study revealed that overload of academic work, lack of learning materials, low study
habit, poor family background and inability to manage time as well as influence of social
media, living off campus and involvement in love relationship were factors negatively
influencing students’ academic activities that could lead to poor performance.
Based on the findings of this study, it is therefore recommended that:
1. Students need to manage their time well by planning and prioritizing time spent
on academic tasks in order to work more efficiently to achieve desired academic
goal
2. Students should learn to use the internet and social media moderately and
carefully for academic advantage.
3. Parents should make adequate provision for educational needs of their wards to
enhance their academic performance.
