FACTORS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MASS FAILURE OF STUDENTS IN CHEMISTRY IN SELECTED SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN MAIDUGURI METROPOLIS
Abstract
The background of the study introduced the importance of chemistry education and the persistent mass failure among secondary school students in Maiduguri. It defined the problem, objectives, research questions, and significance of the study.
Literature on mass failure, highlighted conceptual, theoretical, and empirical studies. It discussed school, teacher, and student-related factors and identified effective strategies from past research.
The detailed descriptive survey design, population, sampling, instruments, validity, reliability, and methods of data collection and analysis.
Data analysis showed that inadequate laboratory facilities, inconsistent use of learner-centered methods, and student difficulties with chemistry concepts are key challenges. Practical sessions strongly relate to performance.
Summary of the study were made conclusions, recommendation and suggestions for further studies was made.
