Home Environment and Academic Performance of Junior High School Students in t...ijtsrd
The study focused on the home environment that affects academic performance of the junior high school students. This was conducted among junior high school students in the first District of Northern Samar. This was conducted within the third quarter of the school year 2018 2019. Findings showed that more than one half of the parents have no time in helping their children in their academic activities. In terms of family income, majority of the students belong to the families whose income is less than Php10,000. In terms of the school environment, results showed that students find it not supportive to their learning. The time devoted by the mother and father to their children, the number of siblings, peer behaviour and teacher behaviour significantly correlated student’s academic performance. The findings of this study will serve as an input in improving the learning environment of the students to improve their academic performance. Melagrosa U.

“Impact of Poverty on the Education Success of Children”
Background
Education is one of the most fundamental rights across the world. However, access to education continues to vary cross different communities, cultures and ethnic backgrounds. Numerous studies have attempted to explore the causes of variations in access and successful educational outcomes across different groups of people. Riedi, Dawn and Kim (2017) state that learners with the capacity to deliver high academic performance exist in all income levels across the United States. Nonetheless, the success rates of learners from low-income backgrounds continue to be lower than their wealthy counterparts. While the dropout rates have reduced phenomenally from low-income neighborhoods, children from wealthy families still register the lowest dropout rates. Level of income coupled with gender factors may also play a role in school dropout rates or low academic performance for children from poor backgrounds. A longitudinal qualitative study undertaken by Ramanaik et al. (2018) found that for many poor families, girls’ domestic tasks came at the cost of schooling with greater concerns regarding the need to safeguard their sexual purity. Furthermore, with the rising desire of the girls’ educational and career goals, parents often encourage girls’ agencies to communicate openly both at home and in school. Children from poor households are also less motivated to work harder in school compared to their contemporaries from wealthy backgrounds. Friels (2016) observes that scholars have tried to make efforts towards exploring the influence of poverty on student success. According to Friels (2016), a combination of factors such as poverty, race and ethnicity have been the defining indicators of student academic attainment. For instance, African American children from low-income neighborhoods continue to face challenges such as low classroom attendance and dropout rates compared to their peers from financial stable backgrounds. In light of the above, this qualitative study will investigate the effects of poverty on educational success in children.
Research Problem
The indicators of academic achievements are often widely recognized across different sides of the scholarly divide. They include hard work, student competence and abilities, school culture, as well as teachers’ competencies. While these factors have been expansively identified and explored by scholars, one major area of research has often been overlooked: the extent to which poverty or level of income impacts educational outcomes for children. Renth, Buckley and Pucher (2015) observe that even though studies exist on this problematic area of knowledge, there have been minimal qualitative explorations on the influence of poverty on children’s educational outcomes. For instance, major qualit.

Exploring the Parental Involvement in Learners' Education: A Phenomenological...Rosemiles Anoreg
Parental involvement is the foundation for family-school relationships that empower
parents, improve student academic achievement, and encourage parents to participate in their children’s education. By collaborating, relationships between the family and school are enhanced, resulting in a healthy at-home and at-school learning environments. The study's purpose was to explore based on parents' own experiences and Epstein's idea of six types of parental involvement.
Academic Achievement of Adolescents In Relation To Parental Encouragementiosrjce
This Study examines the Academic Achievement of Adolescence and Parental encouragement, the
encouragement support exerts most direct influence upon the acquisition of academic achievement. This study
explored the extent to which the parental encouragement has relation with academic achievement among school
students. Parents play a key role in shaping students achievement. Family factors such as parent’s level of
education, Parental expectations and parental support for their children seem to extent some influences on
adolescents academic achievement. Parents play an important role in educational motivation of their children.

type of behavior of Parents is known as parental encouragement. In other wards parental encouragement
refers to the guidance, communication and interest shown by the parents to promote their wards progress in
school.
EFFECTS OF SOCIO-ECONOMIC BACKGROUND OF PARENTS ON THE ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT O...ResearchWap
Man as a social being is endowed with different abilities to explore his environment and possibly to improve the lots of mankind. That is why there are differences in educational attainment of students.
However, these variances are not only found in students’ characteristics like hereditary, age, sex and intelligence quotients which are believed to relate more strongly to his/her achievement levels. A considerable portion of variation in students could be accounted for, in other forms via socio-economic status of parents, family and environment, (family size), beliefs, value and prestige, reward of higher educational parental choice etc.
The effects of socio-economic background of parents on the achievement of their children in school have been a great factor in the recent decade in academic system in the country.
Socialization is the study of the society. Various sociological schools of thought have asserted that in deciding whether a child performs well or not at school is of immense importance to identify the difference between the influence of the socio-economic background of parents and their children’s academic achievement and attainment.
Parental Involvement on Sped Students’ Education in Modular Distance Learningijtsrd
This research determined the level of parental involvement on Special Education students learning using Modular Distance Learning during the school year 2021 2022 at Luray II National High School, Toledo City Division. This study employed the descriptive correlational method to gather data on the parental involvement of students with special educational needs. Thirty parents who have children with special needs were assessed in this study and majority of the parents are aged 40 49 years old, females, married, highs school graduates, earned less than 10,000 temporary or contractual workers and whose children have hard of hearing. The study concluded that parents are moderately involved in sustaining motivation and coaching and tutoring. They are also highly involved in school based activities and home school conferencing. Findings of this study also shows that parental involvement is consistently found to be positively associated with gender, highest educational attainment, and combined family monthly income. With this, school administrators must conduct capability building for parents to strengthen their involvement in school especially in their child’s education. Moreover, parents should be provided with a guide which reminds them of their duties and responsibilities as the facilitator of their child’s learning. Bernadette R.

● This article says that youth education has a lot to do with the economy. The economic
situation determines the level of education. Many young people are not affected by
education, and many methods are needed to implement cooperation between relevant
departments and local governments.
● Lower educational attainment among low-income individuals derives in large part
from the fact that many children from low-income families continue to lack access to
high-quality, well-resourced schools.
● As poverty rates grow, educators and social scientists are becoming increasingly
aware of how difficult it is for students living in poverty to achieve success in the
American educational system.

● At the same time, three quarters of Latino students who dropped out of high school or
did not pursue higher education report that they did so because they needed to work to
support their families. The majority of low-income youth ages 19 to 22 are not in
school; many of those youth are working, but at least a third are neither in work nor in
school.
● In addition, educators and policymakers need to better understand low-income
youth’s perspectives about the opportunities and barriers preventing them from
accessing, persisting, and completing their education.

Background and Objective Telehealth has become a well known tool for the delivery of health care in Saudi Arabia, and the perspective and knowledge of healthcare providers are influential in the implementation, adoption and advancement of the method. This systematic review was conducted to examine the current literature base regarding telehealth and the related healthcare professional perspective and knowledge in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Materials and Methods This systematic review was conducted by searching 7 databases including, MEDLINE, CINHAL, Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, PsycINFO, and ProQuest Central. Studies on healthcare practitioners telehealth knowledge and perspectives published in English in Saudi Arabia from 2000 to 2023 were included. Boland directed this comprehensive review. The researchers examined each connected study using the AXIS tool, which evaluates cross sectional systematic reviews. Narrative synthesis was used to summarise and convey the data. Results Out of 1840 search results, 10 studies were included. Positive outlook and limited knowledge among providers were seen across trials. Healthcare professionals like telehealth for its ability to improve quality, access, and delivery, save time and money, and be successful. Age, gender, occupation, and work experience also affect health workers knowledge. In Saudi Arabia, healthcare professionals face inadequate expert assistance, patient privacy, internet connection concerns, lack of training courses, lack of telehealth understanding, and high costs while performing telemedicine. Conclusions Healthcare practitioners telehealth perceptions and knowledge were examined in this systematic study. Its collection of concerned experts different personal attitudes and expertise would help enhance telehealths implementation in Saudi Arabia, develop its healthcare delivery alternative, and eliminate frequent problems.

The Impact of Digital Media on the Decentralization of Power and the Erosion ...ijtsrd
The impact of digital media on the distribution of power and the weakening of traditional gatekeepers has gained considerable attention in recent years. The adoption of digital technologies and the internet has resulted in declining influence and power for traditional gatekeepers such as publishing houses and news organizations. Simultaneously, digital media has facilitated the emergence of new voices and players in the media industry. Digital medias impact on power decentralization and gatekeeper erosion is visible in several ways. One significant aspect is the democratization of information, which enables anyone with an internet connection to publish and share content globally, leading to citizen journalism and bypassing traditional gatekeepers. Another aspect is the disruption of conventional media industry business models, as traditional organizations struggle to adjust to the decrease in advertising revenue and the rise of digital platforms. Alternative business models, such as subscription models and crowdfunding, have become more prevalent, leading to the emergence of new players. Overall, the impact of digital media on the distribution of power and the weakening of traditional gatekeepers has brought about significant changes in the media landscape and the way information is shared. Further research is required to fully comprehend the implications of these changes and their impact on society.

This study investigated the impact of educational background and professional training on human rights awareness among secondary school teachers in the Marathwada region of Maharashtra, India. The key findings reveal that higher levels of education, particularly a master’s degree, and fields of study related to education, humanities, or social sciences are associated with greater human rights awareness among teachers. Additionally, both pre service teacher training and in service professional development programs focused on human rights education significantly enhance teacher’s knowledge, skills, and competencies in promoting human rights principles in their classrooms.

“One Language sets you in a corridor for life. Two languages open every door along the way” Frank Smith English as a foreign language or as a second language has been ruling in India since the period of Lord Macaulay. But the question is how much we teach or learn English properly in our culture. Is there any scope to use English as a language rather than a subject How much we learn or teach English without any interference of mother language specially in the classroom teaching learning scenario in West Bengal By considering all these issues the researcher has attempted in this article to focus on the effective teaching learning process comparing to other traditional strategies in the field of English curriculum at the secondary level to investigate whether they fulfill the present teaching learning requirements or not by examining the validity of the present curriculum of English. The purpose of this study is to focus on the effectiveness of the systematic, scientific, sequential and logical transaction of the course between the teachers and the learners in the perspective of the 5Es programme that is engage, explore, explain, extend and evaluate.

The Role of Mentoring and Its Influence on the Effectiveness of the Teaching ...ijtsrd
This paper reports on a study which was conducted to investigate the role of mentoring and its influence on the effectiveness of the teaching of Physics in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. The study adopted the convergent parallel mixed methods design, focusing on respondents in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected, analysed separately, and the results were compared to see if the findings confirm or disconfirm each other. The quantitative analysis found that majority of the respondents 72 of Physics teachers affirmed that they had more experienced colleagues as mentors to help build their confidence, improve their teaching, and help them improve their effectiveness and efficiency in guiding learners’ achievements. Only 28 of the respondents disagreed with these statements. With majority respondents 72 agreeing with the statements, it implies that in most secondary schools, experienced Physics teachers act as mentors to build teachers’ confidence in teaching and improving students’ learning. The interview qualitative data analysis summarized how secondary school Principals use meetings with mentors and mentees to promote mentorship in the school milieu. This has helped strengthen teachers’ classroom practices in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. With the results confirming each other, the study recommends that mentoring should focus on helping teachers employ social interactions and instructional practices feedback and clarity in teaching that have direct measurable impact on students’ learning achievements.

Design Simulation and Hardware Construction of an Arduino Microcontroller Bas...ijtsrd
This study primarily focuses on the design of a high side buck converter using an Arduino microcontroller. The converter is specifically intended for use in DC DC applications, particularly in standalone solar PV systems where the PV output voltage exceeds the load or battery voltage. To evaluate the performance of the converter, simulation experiments are conducted using Proteus Software. These simulations provide insights into the input and output voltages, currents, powers, and efficiency under different state of charge SoC conditions of a 12V,70Ah rechargeable lead acid battery. Additionally, the hardware design of the converter is implemented, and practical data is collected through operation, monitoring, and recording. By comparing the simulation results with the practical results, the efficiency and performance of the designed converter are assessed. The findings indicate that while the buck converter is suitable for practical use in standalone PV systems, its efficiency is compromised due to a lower output current.

Sustainable Energy by Paul A. Adekunte | Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Janet O. Sadikuijtsrd
Energy becomes sustainable if it meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Some of the definitions of sustainable energy include the considerations of environmental aspects such as greenhouse gas emissions, social, and economic aspects such as energy poverty. Generally far more sustainable than fossil fuel are renewable energy sources such as wind, hydroelectric power, solar, and geothermal energy sources. Worthy of note is that some renewable energy projects, like the clearing of forests to produce biofuels, can cause severe environmental damage. The sustainability of nuclear power which is a low carbon source is highly debated because of concerns about radioactive waste, nuclear proliferation, and accidents. The switching from coal to natural gas has environmental benefits, including a lower climate impact, but could lead to delay in switching to more sustainable options. “Carbon capture and storage” can be built into power plants to remove the carbon dioxide CO2 emissions, but this technology is expensive and has rarely been implemented. Leading non renewable energy sources around the world is fossil fuels, coal, petroleum, and natural gas. Nuclear energy is usually considered another non renewable energy source, although nuclear energy itself is a renewable energy source, but the material used in nuclear power plants is not. The paper addresses the issue of sustainable energy, its attendant benefits to the future generation, and humanity in general. Paul A. Adekunte | Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Janet O.

Concepts for Sudan Survey Act Implementations Executive Regulations and Stand...ijtsrd
This paper aims to outline the executive regulations, survey standards, and specifications required for the implementation of the Sudan Survey Act, and for regulating and organizing all surveying work activities in Sudan. The act has been discussed for more than 5 years. The Land Survey Act was initiated by the Sudan Survey Authority and all official legislations were headed by the Sudan Ministry of Justice till it was issued in 2022. The paper presents conceptual guidelines to be used for the Survey Act implementation and to regulate the survey work practice, standardizing the field surveys, processing, quality control, procedures, and the processes related to survey work carried out by the stakeholders and relevant authorities in Sudan. The conceptual guidelines are meant to improve the quality and harmonization of geospatial data and to aid decision making processes as well as geospatial information systems. The established comprehensive executive regulations will govern and regulate the implementation of the Sudan Survey Geomatics Act in all surveying and mapping practices undertaken by the Sudan Survey Authority SSA and state local survey departments for public or private sector organizations. The targeted standards and specifications include the reference frame, projection, coordinate systems, and the guidelines and specifications that must be followed in the field of survey work, processes, and mapping products. In the last few decades, there has been a growing awareness of the importance of geomatics activities and measurements on the Earths surface in space and time, together with observing and mapping the changes. In such cases, data must be captured promptly, standardized, and obtained with more accuracy and specified in much detail. The paper will also highlight the current situation in Sudan, the degree to which survey standards are used, the problems encountered, and the errors that arise from not using the standards and survey specifications.

Towards the Implementation of the Sudan Interpolated Geoid Model Khartoum Sta...ijtsrd
The discussions between ellipsoid and geoid have invoked many researchers during the recent decades, especially during the GNSS technology era, which had witnessed a great deal of development but still geoid undulation requires more investigations. To figure out a solution for Sudans local geoid, this research has tried to intake the possibility of determining the geoid model by following two approaches, gravimetric and geometrical geoid model determination, by making use of GNSS leveling benchmarks at Khartoum state. The Benchmarks are well distributed in the study area, in which, the horizontal coordinates and the height above the ellipsoid have been observed by GNSS while orthometric heights were carried out using precise leveling. The Global Geopotential Model GGM represented in EGM2008 has been exploited to figure out the geoid undulation at the benchmarks in the study area. This is followed by a fitting process, that has been done to suit the geoid undulation data which has been computed using GNSS leveling data and geoid undulation inspired by the EGM2008. Two geoid surfaces were created after the fitting process to ensure that they are identical and both of them could be counted for getting the same geoid undulation with an acceptable accuracy. In this respect, statistical operation played an important role in ensuring the consistency and integrity of the model by applying cross validation techniques splitting the data into training and testing datasets for building the geoid model and testing its eligibility. The geometrical solution for geoid undulation computation has been utilized by applying straightforward equations that facilitate the calculation of the geoid undulation directly through applying statistical techniques for the GNSS leveling data of the study area to get the common equation parameters values that could be utilized to calculate geoid undulation of any position in the study area within the claimed accuracy. Both systems were checked and proved eligible to be used within the study area with acceptable accuracy which may contribute to solving the geoid undulation problem in the Khartoum area, and be further generalized to determine the geoid model over the entire country, and this could be considered in the future, for regional and continental geoid model.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Rouse and Barrow (2006) pointed out that the average test
scores for students coming from poor families were higher
than their colleagues from rich families. The few available
pieces of literature failed to pinpoint out the relationship
between family background and students' academic
performance, especially in Port Harcourt Metropolis. This
creates a gap this study seeks to fill. Thus, this study seeksto
examine the impact of family backgrounds on the academic
performance of students.
Hoyle (2003) argued that schools were set up to teach skills
to those who will pass through them and that the idea of
enhancing academic successisthecruxoftheseissues. While
the school is responsible for the experience of school life,
parents play a significant role in developing the child's
personality. The home has control over the psychological,
physical, social and economic condition of the infant (Udida,
Ukwayi & Ogodo, 2012). A child's family background also
may influence his / her response to his / her life situation
and academic level.
Something which affects the child's developmental
environment can affect the child's education or readiness.
One of these factors is family background. It is widely
believed that the provision and availability of additional
learning facilities would give children with high socio-
economic backgrounds more opportunities to the learning
environment at home. On the other hand, children of low
socioeconomic status have no access to additional
educational services; therefore, it may not be easy to get to
the top. Besides, the school mustadaptacademicallybecause
it demonstrates that the student can face up to the problem
of meeting the academic demands. Education is difficult for
students who cannot transit to rich family background.
These students are at greater risk of academic difficulties
and comportment. They are more likely to be avoided. An
ideal school environment should make students feel
confident and effective, creating motivation and trust.
Nonetheless, school is just a place for students who are
failing academically to boost their already poor self-esteem.
Such pupils may also seek to escape feelings of
disappointment through the avoidance of schooling or
inappropriate behaviour.
Against this backdrop, this study is undertaken to examine
the influence of family background on the academic
performance of students in Port Harcourt Metropolis.
Objectives of the Study
The primary objective of this research is to examine the
influence of family background on the academic
performance of students in Economics in Port Harcourt
Metropolis. The specific objectives are to:
1. Find out if there is a relationship between parental
educational level and student’s academic performance
in Economics;
2. Determine the influence of parental incomeonstudents’
academic performance in Economics.
3. Find out if there is any significant relationship between
the parental level of motivation and students’ academic
performance in Economics.
Research Hypotheses
The following researchhypotheseswereformulatedtoguide
the research:
HO1: There is no relationship between parental educational
level and student’s academic performance in Economics
HO2: There is no significant influence of parental incomeon
students’ academic performance in Economics
HO3: There is no significant relationship between the
parental level of motivation and students’ academic
performance in Economics
Methodology
Research Design
The study adopted a survey design to determine the
influence of family background on students' academic
performance. The population of that study is the entire
secondary school in Port Harcourt Metropolis. The study
randomly selected 80 students and 20 teachers in Port
Harcourt Metropolitan. The questionnairewasbasedonfour
Likert scales which measuredtheopinionoftherespondents
on the influence of family background onstudent’sacademic
performance. Descriptive statistics and simple percentages
and tabulation were used for the data collected by way of a
questionnaire. Chi-square was used. when evaluating the
null hypotheses,
Theoretical Framework
Socialization Theory
This study is anchored on socialization theory. Socialization
is the mechanism by which children begin to gain the skills
they need to work in their community. It is one of the most
critical learning experiences they will undergo to enable
themto adapt to the societal norms. Whereas the cultural
diversity is expressed in the behavior, practices and
comportments of entire social classes; atthe individual level,
as the most basic form of culture is found. Thisconceptis not
possible until a person has been socialized by family,
extended family and social networks. The cultural andsocial
features of this reflecting cycle of learning and teaching
achieve consistency (Chao, 2000). The socialization theory
thus modified this principle. The theory of Socializing was
developed in 1929 by Charles Cooley and applies to child
development activities. Socialization is a lifelong process
involving the acquisition and distribution of laws, practices
and ideologies that offer a person the skills and habits
needed to participate in society. Socialization is the
mechanism by which individuals acquire skills that are
required for their societies to work which is the most
powerful learning process. While cultural diversity is
reflected in the behavior, practices and conduct of all social
classes, the most important expression of cultureistypically
at each point.
The family typical socialization is expanded with broader
social networks by one's parents (Harkness, 1996). Chao
(2000) emphasized that it is generally believed that cultural
models identify ideal growth endpoints that inform
socialization goals that shape parent’s ideas in terms of
ethno-parenting theories. Nevertheless, he went on to point
out that the cultural paradigm is largely reflected by the
family's loyalty, reciprocity and unity with the members of
the family. Therefore, the research examines the impact of
family background only on one aspect of a child's life;
academic performance, which is the crux of the socialization
theory.

Searching for Literature
Concept of Economics
"Economics" is derived from the Greek word “Oikonomiko”
which is divided into two parts: (a) "Oikos"meaning"Home"
and (b) "Nomos," meaning "Management." Economics thus
means 'home management. 'The family leader faces the
dilemma of handling the family members' limitless wants
within the family's restricted income. The same also applies
to culture. When we see society as a whole or as a "gang," it
still faces the question of coping with the limited resources
available to society's member’s unregulated wants.
Therefore, economics means learning how people organize
themselves to cope with the fundamental problems of
scarcity (New Age Publishers, 2014).
Chudi (2013) states that Economics is concerned with the
utilization of the limited available resources by individuals,
businesses and government; which plays a key role in the
potential development of the human race. The subject of
management enables students to acquire awareness and
make them successful membersofthegroupforthepractical
solution to economic problems in society. The persistent
poor performance o students in economiccanimpedesucha
hopeful desire (Yusuf, 2009).
Concept of Family Background
The definition of background or socioeconomic status (SES)
(Bornstein & Bradley,2003) doesnothavea clearconsensus.
Sociologists typically refer to the relativerole,basedontheir
access or influence over money, reputation, and power, of a
person or family within a social hierarchy (Mueller & Parcel,
1981). The family backgroundorsocioeconomicstatus(SES)
is an economic and sociological variable based on
employment, educationand occupation,anindividual'swork
experience and his/her social roleconcerningothers.During
an examination of the background of a family;thehousehold
income, the education and jobs of the workers, it was found
out that the educational performance of a student is a
reflection of these variables. The background of the familyis
more widely used to represent the economic disparity of a
person in society as a whole. To explain a family or
individual's three roles, the family background is generally
divided into three levels (high, middle, and low) to explain if
one or more of the three (income, educationandoccupation)
variables are included in one group(Mueller&Parcel,1981).
The family background is the social status or class of a
person or community, as described by the American
Psychological Association (2015). Sometimes it is measured
as a combination of employment, income and work. The
family background is described as a measure of the
economic and social status of individuals and is usually
related to improved health among others.
Concept of Academic Performance
Reporter from the University of Cambridge (2003) asserted
that academic performanceismeasured bytest performance
which described the way student's educational ambitions
have been accomplished. Quality metrics may be passed or
failed classes as well as credits earned during exams and
competitions. Osonwa et al (2013) also indicated academic
performance is determined by variables such as family,
schools, society and motivational (Eweniyi,inUdida,Ukwayi
and Ogodo, 2012). The child's internal state (smartness,
fitness, motive, anxiety, and so on) and environment
(accessibility of an adequate learning environment,
adequacy of education infrastructuressuchastextbooksand
well-equipped laboratories) are the majorfactorsaffectinga
student’s academic performance.
In many main fields, academic performance is the most
important, including student performance factors,
educational factors and family factors. The performance of
students seeks to measure the extent to which the students
achieve the learning outcome within a given period (Ghazi,
Nawaz, Shatzad, Shahzada and Rukhar 2013).
Relationship betweenFamilyBackground andAcademic
Performance of Students in Economics
As described by Coleman (2008), family background is
divided into three separate components; financial (family
income or welath0, human capital (parent level of
education0 and social capital (parent’s relationship). Kim
(2002) maintained that the relationship between parental
wealth and human capital and their children's positive
learning experiences is paramount towards their success in
school. Concerningtheeducational achievementsofchildren,
he emphasized that all of these factors are essential
determinants of childhood education performance
Kim (2002) described social capital as the disparity in the
relationship between financial and human capital of their
parents on the one hand, and the growth of their children's
human capital on the other. Research-based on a small-
income minority family sample showed that high-school
mothers have greater expectations of the academic
achievement of their child and that these expectations have
an impact on the performance of their child's mathematical
and reading achievement (Kim, 2002). Researchers in
African family systems, especially in single-mother
households, paid tremendous attention to the prospect of
economic privation (Kim, 2011). The advocates of the
economic deprivation arguedthatchildrenfromlow-income
background experience academic difficulties. Therefore,
whether the income is statisticallyregulatedorfamiliesalign
at income level, the impact of marital status on child welfare
is displayed through parental rejection and feeling of
hopelessness
The Relationship between School Environment and
Student’s Academic Performance
In the achievement of quality education, a good school
atmosphere is important. Leading learning environment
increases the success of students in class and exams. The
school environment is described by Ukit (2003) as the
aggregate of external conditions or factors affecting
educational institutions' activities. Also, economic, legal,
political, socio-cultural, technical, and physical factors are
involved. Uwadia (2001) identified schools (natural and
artificial), includingtheenvironment,buildingandstructural
structures of the schools, the teaching and learning
facilities/equipment, library resources, recreational
facilities, school management style and thelevel ofacademic
planning and engagement. A good school atmosphereisvery
critical for achieving quality education and could affect the
academic performance of students. A good atmosphere can
lift you up and promote all-round growth and poor
environments can make you live a miserable life.
Mark (2002) has confirmed that clean, calm, secure, relaxed
and balanced environments are an essential factor in good

education and learning. A bad environment causes illness
and prevents students from doing well in school. . Also,
Sucharita (2004) carried out an analysis of the social
intelligence impact of the school atmosphere and found that
school environment qualities interfere with students '
general intellectual capacity and their social understanding.
He used the use of 2 by 2 factories in his study, in which the
two intelligence levels interacted with the two school
environments. The study showed that, in privileged schools,
elite students scored significantly higher in social
intelligence assessments than poorer students.
Besides, it was found that indoor air quality was influenced
by temperature and humidity and this influenced the
academic performance of students. In particular, schools
require high ventilation, as children respirate more air in
proportion to their weight than adults (MacGovern,1998
&Moore (1998). The deposition of carbon dioxide due to
human breath is one of the first signs of inadequate
ventilation in an institution. Once the carbon dioxide level
reaches 1000 parts per million, headaches and somnolence
occur. Myhrroid et al. (1996) also shown in support of this
that higher levels of carbon dioxide also decreasedstudents'
test performance in classrooms, and students' health
problems have arisen concerning classrooms where carbon
dioxide levels have been reduced.
Factors Responsible for Poor Academic Performance of
Students in Economics
Various studies have identified various factors that lead to
students' persistent poor performance in the economic
subject. Economic students lack the knowledge and
quantitative skills of economic. These problems are
attributed to a shortage of economic teachers, poor
educational content, social factors as well as school
environment (Adu, 2004, Chudi,2013,Yusuf,2009).The role
of economics in the growth of businesses and economic and
human growth will primarily promote strong support from
educators and teachers in pursuitofa consistenteducational
evaluation method that can diagnose and remedy the
underperformance of the economy (Kallie, 2015). The main
goal is to direct, and track learning and progress in the
pursuance of course goals through assessments and other
assessment methods in the course of the learning cycle
(Alonge, 2004; Colawole, 2010).
In this context, diagnostic tests aredividedintosmallerunits
of skill in the teaching and learning process; aims are set for
each skill; the design and administrationofa validdiagnostic
test are administered. Group-based restoration is provided
in particular capacities where students are deficient
beforethey move to different skills. The division of the
subject or course into specific skills means that students are
adequately prepared for the exam. Besides, these routine
assessments allow the student to participate in andimprove
its success with the teaching and teaching-learning process
(Revera, 2007). Alderson (2005) said that the diagnostic
evaluation is useful for both the student and for the
instructor (to identify learning difficulties of studentsandto
recommend appropriate disciplinary actions) (to locate the
particular challenges encountered by students within a
learning capacity and to predict the effects of thesummative
assessment). The diagnostic assessment is also a methodfor
recognizing learner problemstoenhancetheperformanceof
the majority of students to provide remediation.
In this process, the academic performance of students plays
a significant role. Theissueoflowacademicperformancehas
been addressed extensively and some factors in
understanding academic achievementshavebeenidentified.
To understand academic performance achievement, the
other variables studied included demographic status,
intelligence, behavioral features and psychological
influences, including attitudes, self-esteem, credibility and
self-conception. In addition to skill disparities that are not
easily managed, students do have different stylesoflearning
which can influence their academic performance (Boateng,
2003).
The performance of the students is also influenced by
socioeconomic factors such as attendance in school, family
income and parental level of education, teacher-student
relationships, presence of eligible teachers at school, the
gender of the student and distance from the school. (Sen, &
Majumder 2010). Kernan,Bogart&Wheat(2011)sharedthe
same opinion that a healthy school environment enhances
students' performance. The relationship betweenuniversity
lending and stress is negative, but betweenGPA(gradepoint
average) and stress is high (Lynch, Espenshade &Zajacova,
2005).
Stringing, et al (2010) asserted that several studies were
carried out to evaluate certain factors that influence the
academic performance of the student. They pointed out that
the academic performance of the students depends on a
variety of socio-economicfactors,suchasstudentenrolment,
family income, parental education, the teacher-student
relationship, the school teacher's involvement, thestudent's
sex and the location of the school. Okyerefo, Fiaveh, &
Lamptey (2011) noted that home plays several roles in
promoting students' academic success. The parents playthe
main major roles in the successofstudentsinschool.Various
parenting styles result in different ways in which children
communicate. Each of them forms an essential factor in
forming the worldviews of children. For other research, for
instance, children between the ages of six and ten spendless
time with parents as they are usually at school all the time.
The mixture of parental schooling, employment and income
(Jeynes, 2002, McMillan & Western 2000), is one of the key
aspects of a family, socioeconomic status. Boateng (2003)
has noted that the teacher determined the success or failure
of the programme. Teachers arethecentreofthe educational
system, as they implement and break up educational
programmes to meet the aims of education. They are the
driver of all that is planned and carried out in school. The
pivots around which the wheel of education travel is human
resources (teachers, administrators, heads and deputy's
heads).

The critical value of 3. 84 was derived from a chi-square

value is at 21. 2, the calculated value exceeds the critical
value and the researchers, therefore, dismissed the null
hypothesis that parental income has no significant effect on
academic student success in economics and have adopted
the former.
Discussion of Findings
The study above showed that the family history of students
and their academic success in economics is substantially
positive. It is also evident that educated parents provide
their children with the requisite learning resourcesthatlead
to school academic success for their children. The study
found that high-income parentscaneasilygivetheirchildren
the necessities required for successful learning. It ensures
that students from trained families receive learningaidsand
instructional resources that in turn havea positiveimpactor
influence on their academic success. The study also found
that the climate of the learning community is favorable to
children of qualified parents.
Providing a positive environment for effective learningat all
levels will boost their academic performance for children in
low-income families. One of the students interviewed said
that “we do better in school if our parents provide us with
basic learning aids”. Some of the students seem to take my
academic activities more seriously as my parents also
question my progress report.
The findings in this study conclude that theeducational level
of parents had a positive relationship with the academic
performance of students, as seen by Ozurumba, Briggs,
Ebuara andEmanhe(2007);Hawkes(1995);Kapinga (2014)
and Egunsola (2014). It also agrees with the findings of
Gustafsson, Jubish and Khurran, (2010) and Ogunsola and
Adewale, (2012), Egunsola (2014); Abdulraheem, (2015)
that parental background has strong influences on student’s
academic performance.
Conclusion and Recommendations
Based on this observation, the study concluded that the
family history and academic performance of secondary
school students in economics have good relationships. It
makes students of educated parents more likely than
students from lower-educated parents do higher in
academics. The report also suggests that the amount of
parental income has a favorable relationship with the
academic success of high school students. The higher the
amount of parental income, the greater the chance of
investing in learning-friendly services for the children.
Nevertheless, while there is a clear association between
family background and educational success, there is also an
exceptional case in which these childrenwithdisadvantaged
families have higher academic results than those with good
family background. The study findings have concluded that
the academic performance of students in schools is affected
by the family background. Parental education, income and
motivation are the main influences in thefamilycontext.The
educational status of the academic success of parents and
students has a strong relationship. It is because parents
themselves understood the value of education at home.
The following recommendations are stated based on the
study findings:
1. Social and economic policies should be introduced to
give children with low-economic status equal
opportunities to support their children's education;
2. Parents should provide a home environment that
supports and motivates children to achieve better
education at school. This can be done by teaching your
children at home to improve schoolwork and to provide
the necessary learning material;
3. Parent’s education and their value are role models for
their children. Parents should try to demonstrate a
positive attitude towards the educationoftheirchildren
by actively involving and supporting them. This will
enable them to succeed in academics and improve
academic adaptation;
4. Pupils are more likely to succeediftheirparentsactively
support their learning. Therefore, parents should
monitor the progress of their children in school and
contact staff at school.
5. School authorities shouldallowundergraduatestudents
or families to participate in various activities to
compensate for the inferiority of students with
schooling or extra-curricula;
6. Schools partnering with PTAs can offer facilities for
long-stay holiday coaching classes to supplement
regular school programsforpupilswithlow background
in education and employment.
