Abstract
The study was conducted to examine the effects of study aims, study approaches
and time management on academic performance of students in College of Education,
Jaiingo. The population of the study comprised all students of the College from Pre-
NCE to NCH III. Thus the total population was 1547, made up of 1152 males and 395
females. A sample size of 464, that is 20 percent of the population was used for the
study. A descriptive survey design was used in the study. The instrument used in
collecting data for the study was the Self-Assessment study Inventory with a reliability
coefficient of 0.56. Seven null hypotheses were formulated and tested at 0.05 level of
significance. Statistical tools used in testing the hypotheses were one-way Analysis of
variance (ANOVA), Spear-man Ranked order correlation coefficient and the t-test.
Hypotheses 1, 3 and 7 were rejected while hypotheses 2,4,5 and 6 were retained.
The findings of the study showed that:-
There was a significant but inverse relationship between the study aims of the
students and their academic performance. There was no significant difference in the
study approaches of Pre-NCE, NCE I, II, III, students.
There was a significant but inverse relationship between the time management of
students and their academic performances.
No significant difference exists in the study approaches of male and female
students.
Some of the recommendations include: A functional counseling center should
be set up in the College where students in need of assistance in the aspect of goal setting
v i i i
in their studies to be given such assistance in-order to enhance their academic
performances.. Counseling services should include teaching sessions on study skills
which should involve students at all levels Pre-NCE to NCE III..
The College authority should initiate a program-me whereby students who excel
in their subject areas are rewarded as this will further encourage active studying and
competition amongst students.
