Project Abstract
AbstractThis study aimed to investigate the influence of age and parental variables on the academic performance of senior secondary students in biology. A sample of 500 senior secondary students from various schools was selected for the study. Data was collected using questionnaires that assessed the students' age, parental education level, parental involvement in their education, and academic performance in biology. The findings revealed that age had a significant impact on academic performance, with older students generally performing better than younger students. Additionally, parental education level was positively correlated with students' academic performance, indicating that students with parents who had higher levels of education tended to perform better in biology. Furthermore, parental involvement in their children's education was found to have a significant positive influence on academic performance, highlighting the importance of parental support and guidance in students' academic success. Overall, the results of this study suggest that both age and parental variables play a crucial role in shaping the academic performance of senior secondary students in biology.
