MANAGEMENT OF SCHOOL FACILITIES AND STUDENTS LEARNING OUTCOME IN PUBLIC SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN DELTA STATE.
Abstract
This study examined management of school facilities and students learning outcome in public secondary schools in Delta State. Three research questions guided the study and three null hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance. Correlational research design was adopted for the study. The population of the study comprised 37,263 SS2 students in public secondary schools in the 25 local government areas of Delta State. Proportionate stratified and simple random sampling procedure was adopted for the study. The instruments for data collection were two sets of questionnaires structured by the researcher tagged; School Facilities Management Questionnaire (SFMQ) and Mathematics Test Questions for SS2 Students. The face validity of the instruments was established by three experts in the Department of Educational Foundations, Faculty of Education, Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University, Igbariam Campus. The construct validity of the instruments was established using Principal Component Analysis approach. Cronbach Alpha procedure was used to determine the internal consistency of the instruments. Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient (PPMC) was used to answer the research questions and test of significance of correlation was used to test hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The result of this study showed that that there was a positive and significant relationship between management of instructional materials, management of classrooms and SS2 students learning outcome in mathematics in public secondary schools in Delta State. There is no significant relationship between management of information and communication technology (ICT) and SS2 students learning outcome in mathematics in public secondary schools in Delta State. It was recommended among others that Principals should ensure that appropriate instructional materials are used by teachers and a safe place should be provided for keeping and archiving them.
