Project Abstract
The mass failure of students in Home Economics in secondary schools in Nkanu East Local Government Area has become a significant concern in the educational sector. This study aimed to investigate the factors responsible for this phenomenon. A mixed-methods approach was utilized to gather data from both quantitative and qualitative sources. The research findings revealed several key factors contributing to the mass failure of students in Home Economics. These factors included inadequate teacher qualifications and training, lack of instructional materials and resources, poor infrastructure and facilities in schools, overcrowded classrooms, and a curriculum that may not be adequately structured to meet the needs of students in the local context. Furthermore, the study identified that the socio-economic background of students played a significant role in their academic performance in Home Economics. Students from disadvantaged backgrounds faced challenges such as lack of access to nutritious food, limited exposure to practical aspects of home economics at home, and financial constraints that affected their ability to fully engage with the subject. The research also highlighted the importance of teacher-student relationships and the need for teachers to be more supportive and attentive to the individual needs of students. It was found that students who felt disconnected from their teachers were more likely to underperform in Home Economics. In conclusion, this study shed light on the complex interplay of factors that contribute to the mass failure of students in Home Economics in Nkanu East Local Government Area. Addressing these factors will require a multi-faceted approach that involves improving teacher training and qualifications, providing adequate resources and infrastructure in schools, revising the curriculum to be more contextually relevant, and implementing support programs for students from disadvantaged backgrounds. By addressing these issues, it is hoped that the academic performance of students in Home Economics will improve, leading to better educational outcomes and opportunities for the youth in the local community.
