Abstract
T h i s r e s e a r c h t r i e d to examine the r e l a t i o n s h i ps
which e x i s t between s t u d e n t s ' performance s c o r e s in c o n t i n o us
assessment ana in examination in five e l e c t e d C h r i s t i an
R e l i g i o u s S t u d i e s course.
Two sets of q u e s t i o n n a i r e one for l e c t u r e r s and one
f o r s t u d e n t s were a n a l y s e d , axid f i v e n u l l h y p o t h e s e s f o r -
mulated to answer the b a s i c q u e s t i o n s or the i n v e s t i g a t i on
were t e s t e d . product moment c o r r e l a t i o n and s t u d e n t 's
t - t e s t were used to test for the r e l a t i o n s h i p s between
the r e s e a r c h v a r i a b l e s.
The r e s u l t s o b t a i n e d were the f o l l o w i n g:
1. The correlation co-eificients caiculated in between
the course va"iubies were net significant at 0.05
significance level. This implies that although
relationships might exist between the two variables, the
correlation co-efficients were generally low. However,
from the responses or the respondents it appeared th'it
relationships, even though weak existed between continuous
assessment and examination . r e s u l t , for students of the
Christian Religious Studies Section,
2. Only two courses of a l l the courses selected for the
study showed reasonably high correlation co-efficients.
3. From the r e s u l t s of the test of the relationships,
continuous assessment performance scores used in this
study could not be regarded as good predictors of examination
performance scores in most of the courses, since most of
them were not significant at 0.05 significant level.

2. Only two courses of all the courses selected for
the study showed reasonably high correlation
coefficients.
3. From the results of the test of the relationships,
continuous assessment performance scores used in
this study could not be regarded as good predictors
of examination performance scores in most of the
courses since most of them were not significant
at 0.05 significant level.
With regard to difference in academic performance
between males and females, the majority of the tests
comparing male and female course performance scores in the
two variables pointed out that there were not any
difference in academic performance between males and females
in the section.
