ABSTRACT

The implementation of educational policies and practices is closely linked to the assessment of students learning as it enables the monitoring of progress and achievements, improvement of teaching in the classroom, improvement of policies and the assessment of programme effectiveness among many other objectives. Performance in schools is increasingly judged on the basis of effective learning outcome. This study examined the level of various assessment instruments of senior secondary school students’ academic performance in mathematics. The sample for the study consists of 1,080 students selected from twenty-eight (28) secondary schools from the three (3) senatorial District of Ekiti State and 108 Mathematics teachers drawn from all secondary schools in Ekiti State. Two hypotheses were raised and tested at p=0.5 and the results showed that there was no significant relationship between the application of assessment instruments, techniques and students’ academic performance. Hence it was recommended that in view of the fact that the level of assessment instruments and academic performance was high, Mathematics teachers, supervisors and Principles should be encouraged to sustain the tempo while there is room for improvement.

Key words: Assessment, Assessment instruments, Evaluation, Techniques and test

  • You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be
    really something which I think I would never understand.

    It seems too complicated and very broad for me.
    I’m looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!

  • When I initially left a comment I seem to have clicked on the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox
    and now every time a comment is added I get 4 emails with the
    exact same comment. Is there a way you are able to remove me from that service?
    Thank you! asmr 0mniartist
