INTRODUCTION
In the contemporary education system, it is generally noticed that the way the learner
feels, think and acts in all situations is largely dictated by his images of past experiences.
Everything that enters into a student’s mind-set, soon gets linked up with his past
experiences, and serves to provide the guide and direction for the interpretation of the
present. The learner is a free agent, with his own mind and way of responding, to the
environment outside himself. Many things solicits students attention each moment and each
student usually makes effort to free himself from one object in his mind, in order to be
occupied with another more vital object, subject or event in his environment at a particular
point in time. A student is able to think, only when a single object is admitted into his
allowed to focus on a subject and adequate motivation is being given by the teacher, there
would be the certainty of him becoming more aware of the subject and his performance will
be more attractive.
In the classroom situation, an important instructional step for the teacher is to get the
learners thought refocused from all other things to what he intends them to learn.

science and hence as her mathematics”. However, the performance of students at both
internal and external examination left much to be desired. Most students in education focused
on goes on in the classroom while neglecting other important factors such as the socio-
psychological factors. The way an individual learn is not only affected by classroom work
and situation but there are other factors which determine what, why and how individual learn.
The combination of proximal and distal factors ought to be considered but little or no
consideration is given to the distal factor like the socio-psychological variable such as self-
concept, study habit, attitude, gender, home and family type, pear group, parental socio-
economic status and others which exert dominant influence on all facet of life of an
individual.
According to Yara (2010) found that students with high and positive self-concept
who think positive about their mathematics abilities feels highly delighted in solving
mathematics problems, act promptly in learning mathematics, place high value on the benefit
accruable to them in having good grades in mathematics and evaluate themselves as being
subject. Moreover, students with high and positive self-concept may likely develop internal
motivation to strive for excellence in mathematics rather than being indifferent and passive.
Several studies have examined the relationship between self-concept and academic
performance or achievement. Most of these studies support the belief that self-concept is a
strong facilitator of academic achievement and that a positive or negative change in self-

performance of student are hereditary, environment, time, and some that are resident in the
student, the family, the school and the society. Those factors resident in the student include
physical, health, truancy, emotional problem, personality factor, poor study habits, self-
concept, and continued failure, lack of basic cognitive skills and examination strategies or
restiveness.
Every parent wants intelligent children and every school system value intelligent learner.
However, Locke (2007) claimed that the mind of man at birth is a “tabula rasa” that is, the
mind of man is empty at birth as such, learners tends to be driven by the information received
in the school or at home. The kind of motivation given by the teacher determines the
performance of the students. A learner who has low intelligence or performing in a subject

degree to which the teacher utilizes motivation in the classroom determines successful
learning. As such, teachers or counsellors need to be reminded that, increasing ones self-
concept will invariably leads to high academic output. In other words, measures that are
useful in enhancing the self-concept of students need to be outlined and strengthened in the
school. These is, however a general opinion among researchers and that achievement related
to success and failure do influence self-concept through various means, it is against this
background that this study investigated self- concept and academic performance of secondary
school students in mathematics in Yala Local Government Area of Cross River State.
According to Carl Ransom Roger’s self theory which he held that, “man (Everyone) is
He also posits that self-concept is caused by an interaction between inner processes (past
experiences) and environmental influence. According to him, everyone is full of potential but
the kind of information received can make ones self-concept to be either positive or negative.
He demonstrated this by using people that are living around us such as relatives, brothers,
sisters, friends, and teachers etc. to teach us how one could develop a concept or habit that is
obnoxious about himself in his immediate environment through interaction which may leads

because a student who feels good about himself is usually a high achiever.
Schools and teachers are under attacks from different directions over what parents and
members of the society referred to as “falling standard of education” parents portion out
blames on school and teachers for the poor academic performance of students.
educational planning”.
Teachers on their part contend that the problem of what to teach, how to teach it and
examine it has to do with educational system of the world. Similarly, teachers are becoming
increasingly aware that students they teach do not learn important subject like mathematics
and other sciences that they want them to learn as much. In addition, students who although
have the ability to learned this subject fast enough do not learn as much as they should, and
perform, seem to hate the subject (having a negative self-concept about a subject) as such,
determine not to understand the subject as the result perform poor in school on this note

2.1 Self- concept and academic achievement among male and female students
Okporlishor (20019) defines self-concept as the perceptions that the individual assigns to
himself or as ones personal image of himself. This image of self entails a person’s way of

In school.
According to john Locke (2007) Human mind is “Tabula Rasa” that is, every child is born an
active agent with a unique learning organism, and comes to life without any store of
experience with which to build upon, before birth he saw nothing, can only learn through
events and interaction, manifesting purpose and creates directions of actions through
exploring, interpreting his own world, and coordinates his action according to environmental
influence.
Denga (1988) noted that, there is a continuous interaction between the learner and
environment. That is, the learner effect changes in the environment, and the environment to a
great extent influences the learners self-concept. Children learn a lot in their immediate
environment both pleasant and unpleasant self-concept by the time they get to the school age
they have already acquired imaginative lesson about themselves. By the time they go to
school, displays what they had acquired in the environment. For that reason, Babdura (2012),
rightly observed that behavior is caused by an interaction between inner processes and
environmental influence. That is, students be it female or male is different to the extent that
Schiefelbaum and Simmons cited by Adell (2012) considered family background as the
most important and most weighty factor in determining the academic performance attend by
student. That is say; the quality of being a male or female does not affect student’s self-
concept rather the nature of experience the learner gotten from the parents. In some families,
much importance is placed to sex of the individual, in such a way that male and female are
treated differently. Males are allowed to study subject in school such as mathematics while
female are being restricted based on the information they have gotten from their parents. The
males therefore grow up to be more active, more exploratory and more inquisitive than
Carlkson & Rosenkrants (2012) observed that, in the family set up, girl’s surfer greater
limitation regarding academic achievement than males. Female and male have the same
mental capacity through which they can perform maximally the same, but the kind of
information they receive restricts females not to perform well in school, because they believe
they are weaker vessel as such female develop a stained attitude towards performing low in
school.
Fischer and Fischer (2012) observed that, there are behaviors directed at efficient learning.
That is, students tend to believe their teachers than any other person even when they are
wrong. The kind of information the teacher relays to the learners has a tremendous effect on
the student’s self-concept. Gottfriend & Hansley (2012) rightly observed that, those who
teach in school ensure that they do not generate tension and anxiety among learners. Some
teachers with high mathematics anxiety have a significant effect on the academic
achievement of the learners. As such, a student who does not perform well in school is as a
result of the kind of information they receive from the teacher. Therefore, teachers are
2.2 High Self-concept and low self-concept among students and academic
achievement
It is generally agreed that every child (learner) is born into a family. The child has a
unit of life is privy to the choice of the family he is born into. It is the family that makes him
what he develop into, what a child becomes, the quality of the mind he possesses, his self-
concept and orientations, have the imprints of the family routes his life through. Tuttel and
Tuttel (2004) observed that, the root of self-concept lies in family experiences. That is, every
child is born blank without any store of experience comes to life with a burning desire to
learn and become a product of the information he receives from the parents. Every other
experience the child may have outside his family gets linked up with his past experience and
serves to provide the guild and direction for the interpretation of the present.
Kuppuswamy (2000) in a similar view posited that, self-concept is not a finished product
at birth. But it’s something which develops from the family experiences. That is, self-concept
depends upon the family in which the individual is brought up academic success or failure of
students in determined by the parents. Some parents feed their children with a negative self-
concept about mathematics as such when getting to school age displays the same by
performing below average in the subject. This is to agree with the adage that says information
is power’.
Students with high self-concept comes from families where the parents themselves
has similar self-concepts and where adults are able to treat children responsible individuals,
parents of such students (children) are more accepting, more affectionate and more positive
towards their children. Rogers (1981) said, an infant perceives his experiences as reality. That
is to say, the experiences today’s children (learners) are having will form the basis of their
interpretation of what the future will offer. Thirty years from now the thought (self-concept)
and actions of today’s children (learners) will be a reshaping of what they are errantly passing
through. Nobody is completely new person at any given time because of continuous
interpretation of the present in the light of the past. The learner’s behavior shapes up over
time, at each point in time; his past experiences serve to shape his current pattern of behavior.
Parents, who are aware of this, tend to feed their children with positive information that
greater positive self-concept, because it is believed that a student who feels and thinks good
about himself is usually a high achiever. Female often believe they to be bad at mathematics,
in accordance with gender stereotyping, and often experience high levels of anxiety about the
subject, that anxiety appears to be driven by social influence, and may be varnishing through
adequate motivation. The issue of high and low self-concept in female students can be
According to Denga (2002) heredity refers to the mechanism whereby a child is born
with or inherits certain physical and mental capacity from the immediate biological parents or
from ancestral parents. That is, heredity is established at the time of conception. Genes work
in pairs to develop hereditary traits. For any given hereditary traits half the gender comes
from the father and the other half from the mother. Some of the characteristics of the
individual that are said to be directly inherited include: height, weight, intelligence and
mental traits etc, that is, to say, what a student is to a very large extent determines by
hereditary factors.
Olayinka (1986) rightly observed that, if the father is an idiot and transmits the genes of an
idiot to the child, that child wills posses the traits. If the mother is a moron, and transmits the
genes of a moron to the child, that child will possess the trait of a moron. That is, female
students are different based on mental traits they inherits from their parents, female students
are not uniformly endowed in terms of mental ability. The extent of the giftedness of each
learner dictates hereditary traits. Female students with high self-concept come from families
where the parents themselves had similar self-concept while female students with low self-
concept come from families where the parents themselves had such.
According to Denga (2002) Motivation is define as the forces which ignite, propel,
poke, spur or energize, direct and sustain behavior toward goal attainment. Motivation makes
learners to view themselves as active and capable persons to promote changes through effort
and set higher goals which may lead to performing well in mathematics.
Rubie (2004) observed that, high self-concept plays an important role in academic
achievement. High self-concept can develop by given adequate motivation from either the
parents or teachers.
Redenbach (2001) noted that, those who have higher academic achievement in mathematics
tend to feel more confident in contrast with those who lack confidence in themselves less.
interest in learning generally, a week drive towards goal attainment and little identification
with school subjects. Teachers are hereby implored to identify individual differences among

of secondary school students in mathematics in Yala Local Government Area of Cross River
State. The work cited emphasis on the need for parents, teachers and school counsellors to
effectively feed their children and learners with positive information or adequate motivation
may be outstanding.
There is agreement in the literature to the effect that parents and teachers are the
major factors influencing student’s performance in school. The review further shows that,
school environments, Hereditary, and motivation are factors that can also influence student
performance in mathematics.

3.3 Population
3.5 Sampling
3.6 Instrumentation
The research design adopted for this study is the inferential survey design. The survey
design involves the collection of data to accurately and objectively describe existing
phenomenon. The adoption of this design in the study was therefore to enhance the collection
of the data because of the nature of the problem which may needs the polling of opinion from
the sample of the study then making inference to the entire population. The population
consists of all the senior secondary school students in Yala Local Government Area of Cross
River State.
This research was carried out in yala local government area of cross river state. The area is
one of the eighteen local government areas in Cross River State. The administrative
headquarter of the research area is okpoma created on the August 27 th, 1999. This is in the
east of the area of 1,739km and a population of 210,843 (NPC 2006). The research area is
bounded by Benue state in the north, in the south by Ikom, and Obubra, then in ogoja by the
Easth and the west by Ebonyi state. This has okpoma as the counsels headquarter. There are
many educational institutions in the research area ranging from pre-primary, primary,
secondary, polytechnic, and college of health technology. Some of which were founded by

most of our great men attended. The area is an urban setting but inhabits people from
different socio-cultural background. English, ochumode, kukelle, igede, and Yache, language
respectively. The people in the research area are mostly farmers, Business, men and women
and civil servants, while little of the people do salt making. The indigenous people of yala
have distinct culture like the ogrinya, Ekpatuma, Akataka masquerade and the Ogamode
chieftaincy title. Akpu and Bene-side soup are widely eating by the people of the area. The
area is bounded in the north by Benue State, in the south by Ikom and Obubra, in the East by

The population of the study consist of (19) nineteen government secondary schools in the
research area. The population is made up of both male and female students. The population of
the study comprises of students from different socio-economic status. This age range from
A simple random sampling technique was used for the selection of the sample used for this
study. In this technique, ten schools were randomly drawn from 19 government secondary
schools in the research area from each of the schools selected, 20 students were selected for
the study summing up to a sample size of 200 respondents. In this method, names of all the
public schools were writing on pieces of paper and ten of the papers were selected randomly.
The names of the schools in the ten pieces of paper were the schools used. The same process
was used for the selection of 20 students from each schools visited.
3.5 Sample:
The sample of this study consists of 200 randomly selected secondary schools from (10) ten
selected government approved secondary schools in the research area. The sample is made up
of male and female students in secondary schools in Yala Local Government Area of Cross
River State. The sample comprises of students from different socio-cultural background and
falls within the range of 14-19 years. 20 students were selected randomly from each school
3.6 Instrumentation:
The research instrument used for data collection for this study is questionnaire. The
questionnaire was specifically designed for this study. The questionnaire was made up of two
parts while part “A” was designed to obtained information from students with specific
reference to their age and sex, part “B” contained 10 items based on two variables. A likert-
type questionnaire on a four point scale spanning from strongly agreed to strongly disagree
Validity refers to the degree to which an instrument measures what it is intended to measure
or the extent to which a true and accurate measure of a trait is probable (isangedigi, 2012).
Face validity was adopted for this study. This refers to the ways the questionnaire items
appear to take care of relevant content in the subject area of interest. The face validity was
established by using experts in measurement and education in the faculty of education and the
supervisor. They certified that the instrument was valid and could be used for the study.
what it does. To determine the reliability of the instrument, questionnaires were issued out to
20 students drawn from the population area to estimate and establish the reliability of the
instrument.
The instrument was administered twice on the respondents at different intervals. In other
words, test-retest method of the reliability was used. The numbers of questions correctly
ticked in the questionnaire were correlated. This method gave the instrument reliability a
cross time.
In order to carefully collected data for this study, the researcher went to each of the 10
selected schools out of the 19 government secondary schools in the study area. With the help
of the principal of each schools visited, the researcher administered the questionnaire to 20
students randomly selected. Each copy of the questionnaire administer to the respondents
were retrieved by the researcher on the same day of the administration. At the end of the
exercise, the return rate was one hundred percent and the researcher collected the instrument
A likert-type questionnaire in a four point scale spanning from strongly agree to strongly
disagree was developed for this study; section A, elicited information on respondents
personal data like name, gender, and school. Section B focused on one of the variables of the
study which is self-concept and academic achievement among male and female students.

Also Gottfriend&Harristy (2012) Observed that, those who teach in school should
ensure that they do not generate tension and anxiety among learners. It was resolved that
other things can affect academic performance like school location as in line with Omogemi

The researcher was motivated to embark on the research to find out the differences in the
female students with high self concept and those with low self-concept.
Literature related to the variables under study was reviewed accordingly. Sunny research
design was adopted for the study. The research design was considered appropriate because
the research does not have direct control of the independent variables, they are inherently
manipulated.
A sample of two hundred (200) respondents was randomly selected for the study. The
selection was done through the simple random sampling technique. This was to give every
member of the population area equal and independent opportunity of being selected for the
study. Statistical tool was independent t-test method of data analysis. The findings showed
that there was a significant relationship between the variables in the hypothesis. The
hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance. Based on the results and findings, it was
recommended among others that parents, teacher and school counsellors should be concerned
about student’s self-concept. And that, there are other factors that can influence students’
