dc.description.abstract | The purpose of the study was to investigate the influence of school and home based
factors on performance of girls in science subjects at K.C.S.E level in Kilungu
District, Kenya. The study intended to achieve the following objectives: to find out
the general condition of students' performance in science subjects in Kenya; to acess
whether there is any relationship between parents level of education and students
performance in science subjects; to find out whether there is any relationship between
parents' socio-economic status and students' performance in science subjects; to
.examine whether there is any relationship between curriculum implementation and
students performance in science subjects. The researcher adopted the Ex-Post facto
design and targeted head teachers and Form Four students in secondary schools in
Kilungu District, Makueni County. The main research instrument was the
questionnaires. Data was analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences
software programme. The study established that girls were disadvantaged in science
related discipline because some were made to believe that it was a male dominated
subject. In this context, the study recommends that the Ministry of Education (MOE)
should encourage schools to provide rewards to girls who excel in schools. | en |
