THE EFFECT
OF HOME BACKGROUND ON PERFORMANCE OF STUDENT IN COMPUTER SCIENCE IN COLLEGE OF
EDUCATION STAFF SCHOOL BENIN CITY
ABSTRACT
The subject matter of this research
is the effect of home background on performance of student in Computer Science
in College of Education Staff School, Benin City. The main objective of the
research work is to enable us know the effect of home background on performance
of students in Computer Science in College of Education Staff School, Benin
City. The research methodology, primary data was used. The data were presented
and analyzed, information was gathered from questionnaires. It was discovered
in the course of study that home background affects the performance of
students. This is due to low educational qualification, socio-economic states
and large families. It was recommended that the government should give aids to
the lower class families by giving them grants such as bursary and scholarship
awards.

INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
The importance of education in the up-bringing of student cannot be over
emphasized. It is a known fact that the children on students of today are the
leaders of tomorrow. As matter of national priority, it is the fundamental
responsibility of government to provide for the education of students, this
will no doubt contribute to the overall growth and development and reduces the
level of literacy to the barest minimum. In college of education staff school
today, various subject like mathematics, English language, social studies,
bible knowledge, elementary science, computer science are taught. These subject
are reliant to our day to day development. These days emphasis is laid on both
qualitative and quantitative education.
In Nigeria society inequality of educational achievement has been one of the
recent years. No government has ever thought of what the home can recall help
in the performance of students in schools. Teachers have always been seen as a
role model and a person that can perform miracle to influence the academic
performances of student hence parents and government tend to be arranged into
different social state. It is clear that our societies are theoretically
classified into groups, person and their families are associated with different
social classes.
There is the existence of three types of homes, the non-abundant, middle and
abundant families. The position ones hold, the occupation which one engage in
the society, the privileges and prestige receives all help to sharpen one’s
style of life. The presence of adequate potential techniques for helping the
child to understand his world or cope with complex situation may have permanent
effects in his life and academic achievement. Broken homes can also affect the
performance of students in computer science and may have permanent effect in
his life and academic achievements. The use of instructional materials may also
affect performance of students in college of education staff school. In
Nigeria, however, most school don’t offer computer science the reason been that
they are not mature to offer computer science or do not have material to teach
the students. Their attitudes and behavaiour are quite was patterned by the
time they enter into school. The child’s response to school is highly dependent
on these patterned attitudes and behaviour with this, it become necessary to
undertake a student, the problem on the academic performance in computer
science of students in schools.
Over the two decades, sociologist have tried to identify the effect of home
background on the performance of student in schools. Woodruff (1961) is of the
view that the influence of home has on the child’s learning is a great
importance to his life, his value and most of his habits and basic adjustments
are established during the pre-school years. This state shows that home plays a
vital role in educational development of a student and his performance in
schools. This is so because the home provide for a student primary
socialization and information educated and it goes a long way to help his
performance in computer science in school.
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
In recent years, there has this
assumption that the standard of education in Nigeria has fallen which manifest
itself in poor performances of students. This has therefore led to a lot of
argument of whom to blame, the teachers, the government, students, peer groups
contributes to the student’s academic performance in computer science but the
home into which the students is born nurtured and spends the most of his time
is to be blame more because the home is the major contributor to the student
performance in computer science in school. The research therefore coin at
examining the effect of home background of student in school in College of
Education Staff School, Benin City.
The research questions that will be
required for the purpose of this study include the following:
1.
Does home background affect the performance of student in computer science in
College of Education Staff School?
2.
Does socio-economic status of parents affect the student performance in
computer science in college of education staff school?
3.
Does the level of educational qualification of parents affect the student’s
achievement in college of education staff school?
4.
Does the size of the family, type, structure affect student’s performances?
5.
Does the student from high and middle social classes achieve more than those
from lower class?
PURPOSE OF THE STUDY
The purpose of this study is to find
out how home background affects the academic performance in computer science in
college of education staff school, Benin City. It should be seen by those who
could do something about it; educational planners, educational policy makers
the universal basic education (UBE) the government, parents, the college
of education staff school management should do something that did not just
evolve overnight, hence solution. It should be as elastic as its evolution.
SIGNIFICANT OF THE STUDY
This study will be of immense value
to educational planners in designing school programme that are related to the
family background of students such programme can help the disadvantaged
students to catch up with their advantaged peers thereby improving the standard
of education in the country. It is hoped that the findings of this study would
help in identified the role of home background on students in schools. Every
parents expect a good result from a child who attend school.
Student are successful in computer
science when certain factors are put together ensuring that the student who
attend schools, is well fed. Before he leaves the home the expected materials
that will enhance learning at school is the students work regularly checked,
does the parent over find time to check the child work, has the school
facilities, equipments and materials that would aid teaching.
The government is not left out of it
too. If the role of the home has been recognized in the nations education,
therefore at the end of this project work, it is assumed that the government
will assist parent guardian needs of the student wards.
DEFINITION OF TERMS

brought up and where his experience begins
Socio-Economic Status of Parents: This
determines the level of general care and level of education children from high
socio-economic home are likely to get good care and good education compared to
children from low socio-economic homes.
Student Performance: The
scores an individual obtains in a class test or examination base on his
learning experience in schools.
Social Class: This is
a level in the society made up of people who consider themselves as equal
because of similarities of interest, same common background, same level of
education, same occupation and income rate and same attitude towards social
issues.
