Abstract
This study investigated the attitude of students towards the implementation
of Continuous Assessment in secondary school, Makurdi, Benue State. A total of
430 respondents made up of reading teachers and students were selected for the test.
The cluster sampling technique was used in the selection. Among the major
objectives of the study were the determination of the relationship between students
continuous assessment and their performances in examination and the influence of
teachers’ years of teaching experiences on their conduct of continuous assessment.
Data collected were subjected to statistical analysis using the correlation procedure.
The result revealed that teachers’ years of experience did not significantly correlate
with their conduct of continuous assessment. Significant difference was observed in
the students attitude towards their continuous assessment. The students’ continuous
assessment was observed to be significantly correlated with the students,
performance in their examination. Among the recommendations, it was suggested
that teachers should stick to the guideline, method of evaluation and implementation
of continuous assessment so that marks awarded will always reflect the ability of
the students and enhance their performance. Adequate attention should be given to
the implementation of continuous assessment by the educational supervisors in the
schools so as to facilitate examination outcome of the students.
