This study examined gender dimensions in students’ performance at the junior secondary school bus... more This study examined gender dimensions in students’ performance at the junior secondary school business studies in Ago-Iwoye. These were with a view to assessing the varying level of female students’ performance different from their male students’ counterpart at junior secondary school business studies in Ago-Iwoye. The study also recommended how parents, teachers, school authority, as well as the government could do to guarantee gender dimension and students’ performance in business studies at junior secondary schools in Ago-Iwoye.
The study adopted ex-post facto research design. Purposive sampling technique was used to select two out of the seven junior secondary schools in Ago-Iwoye. The study adopted both primary and secondary data. The primary data were gotten by means of questionnaires administered to 90 target students of the sampled junior secondary schools in Ago-Iwoye community. However, secondary data were obtained from the recent scores of the J.S.S. 3 students from both schools. The data collected were analysed, using a ‘t’-test statistical instrument.
The results revealed that the female students’ performance in business studies is better than the male students’ at junior secondary schools in Ago-Iwoye. It was discovered that the female students’ performance in business studies is significantly different from their male counterparts, (p = t-cal, 2.07 > t-tab, 2.02) at 5% level of significance. In the same vein, gender has significant impact on students’ academic performance in business studies at junior secondary schools in Ago-Iwoye. This is evidenced by t-cal, 3.75 > t-tab, 2.02. Again, findings showed that there is no significant difference among the factors affecting male and female students’ performance in business studies at junior secondary schools in Ago-Iwoye, (p = t-cal, 0.97 < t-tab, 2.02) at 5% level of significance.
Based on the findings of the study, it was concluded that gender dimension has significant impact on students’ academic performance in business studies at junior secondary schools in Ago-Iwoye. Hence, factors affecting male students’ performance in business studies are not statistically different from those affecting females at junior secondary schools in Ago-Iwoye. Therefore, the parents, teachers, as well as management authorities at junior secondary schools in Ago-Iwoye, and the government at the state and local levels are advised to adhere to suggestions offered by the study.
