Thesis Abstract

Abstract
Home economics is a crucial subject in secondary schools that equips students with essential life skills related to nutrition, sewing, budgeting, and other domestic activities. However, there has been a concerning trend of mass failure among students in Home Economics in Nkanu East Local Government Area. This research project aimed to investigate the factors responsible for this high rate of failure in the subject. The study utilized a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative analysis of examination results from the past five years with qualitative data gathered through interviews and surveys with students, teachers, and parents. The results revealed several key factors contributing to the mass failure of students in Home Economics. One significant factor identified was the lack of qualified teachers in the subject. Many schools in the area struggled to find teachers with the necessary expertise in Home Economics, leading to subpar instruction and a lack of understanding among students. This issue was compounded by the absence of adequate teaching materials and facilities, further hindering the learning process. Additionally, the research found that the curriculum for Home Economics was outdated and did not align with the practical skills needed by students in today's society. This disconnect between the curriculum and real-world applications made it challenging for students to engage with the subject and perform well in examinations. Furthermore, socio-economic factors played a role in the mass failure of students in Home Economics. Many students in Nkanu East Local Government Area came from low-income backgrounds, where access to nutritious food and resources for practical activities was limited. This lack of exposure to relevant experiences outside of school impacted their performance in Home Economics. In conclusion, the study identified a combination of factors contributing to the mass failure of students in Home Economics in secondary schools in Nkanu East Local Government Area. Addressing these issues will require collaborative efforts from educational authorities, schools, teachers, and the community to improve the quality of instruction, update the curriculum, and provide support for students from disadvantaged backgrounds. By addressing these challenges, it is possible to enhance the learning experience in Home Economics and improve academic outcomes for students in the region.
