Background Of The Study
Our civilization needs sufficient amounts of both human and material resources in order to increase its social organization, maintain its culture, accelerate its economic growth, and change its political institutions. Education is often seen as a pre-requisite for the growth of skilled labor and the accumulation of wealth, as well as a guaranteed route to achieving one's life goals and contributing positively to society. Education is the process of consciously preparing children for the roles they will play in the future via monitoring, teaching, and learning opportunities (Adedeji al 2008).
In this sense, education is thought of and inculcated in a variety of ways by individuals of diverse backgrounds, ages, needs, and aspirations for sustainable development. The power of education is made clearer by the fact that its trend toward globalization is infused with the instrumental ideals of fostering productive people, democratic governance, and environmentally sustainable development. It is widely acknowledged that education is a process that imparts newfound information, capabilities, and attitudes onto the students. This might take place at a variety of schools with the aim of guaranteeing the children's overall development in preparation for the future.
According to Akinpelu (2004), education may be seen as the process through which cultural legacy and regeneration are passed on from one generation to the next. In addition, he emphasized that education is a process of renewing experience, which he predicted would most likely take place in a planned and institutionalized manner in order to produce societal sustainability. As a result, ensuring that education develops, informs, and sustains the student's vision of life, which includes the student's professional activities, attitudes, beliefs, and values, is a necessary step in keeping education relevant.
In the context of this article, "education" refers to the act or process of imparting or acquiring information, judgment, and a certain degree of intellectual maturity. In a broad sense, education refers to a mode of learning in which the knowledge, abilities, values, ideas, norms, morals, and habits of a group of people are passed down from one generation to the next by means of teaching, training, or research. This type of education is known as transmission learning. Adeyinka A.A (2009), John (Quoted by) as Adewuyi and Ogunwuyi (2002) define education as the culture that each generation intentionally gives to those who are to be its successors in order to qualify them for at least keeping up with and, if possible, raising the level of improvement which has been attained. Adeyinka A.A (2009), John (Quoted by) as Adewuyi and Ogunwuyi
According to Taiwo (2015), education is "the training of the young with the view of their growing up and developing into adults who can fend for themselves, live in a society, and be of service to that society." In other words, education is "the training of the young with the view of their becoming adults who can live in a society and be of service to that society As a result, education is seen to be the process of obtaining skills, information, and an awareness of attitudes and values in order to solve problems.
A clearer and more concise definition of education is provided by Redden and Okemakinde (2014). His definition of education describes it as "the deliberate and systematic influence extended by the mature person upon the immature through instruction, discipline and harmonious development of physical, intellectual, aesthetic, social, and spiritual powers of the human beings according to their essential hierarchy by and for the individual and social uses which is directed towards the union of the educated with the creator at the final end." [Citation needed] In the same vein, Thompson defines education as "the influence of the environment upon the individual to produce a permanent change in his habits of behavior, of thought, and of his attitude." Education, according to Thompson, is "the influence of the environment upon the individual to produce a permanent change in his habits of behavior, of thought, and of his The environment may be broken down into its physical, social, and cultural components. Therefore, the work of the youngster adapting to his surroundings should be made easier through education. Therefore, the educational system of a nation has an effect on the method in which the population of that country carries out their educational programs.
In addition, education is the center around which the expansion of every nation's economy and culture revolves. It is vitally important to the social, political, and economic growth of any country, and it also helps keep the peace. It is essential that educational institutions be effectively run if this growth is to be realized, and this is particularly true at this time when a great deal of complexity has been brought into the educational system. The idea behind this is that every educational administrator and supervisor should be equipped with the knowledge, information, skills, and instruments necessary for efficient administration and supervision of students' academic achievement.
Every human organization, regardless of size, level of sophistication, purpose, or focus on education, participates in at least one activity or operation that contributes to the accomplishment of the goals and aims they have established for themselves. The crisis that has befallen our contemporary society has had a significant influence, been productive, lucrative, and valuable in the conception of assessing the cost and value of education. As a result, educational pursuits cannot take place in a void; rather, they must take place in the kind of well-structured formal setting or environment that is known as a school.
The school, as an essential and fundamental component in the accomplishment of a predetermined series of educational aims and objectives, serves as the cradle of the citizen ideal. It is very crucial that all of the stakeholders in the academic circle, be it instructors, students, principals, administrators, and a lot of other people, should cooperate and work in order to have an excellent outcome. This includes working together to achieve the goal. Despite all of the processes that are involved in the teaching-learning process, such as sequential planning of the teaching process, organizing the classroom to suit the desired educational purpose, proper and adequate classroom management, teachers having intellectual and good oratory skills through evaluation of the teaching activities, and a lot of other processes, students still have trouble understanding what they are being taught.
If adequate, timely, and thorough monitoring is not done throughout the teaching-learning process, in particular the teaching of accounting courses in secondary schools, then it is not assured that the students will achieve academic achievement or accomplishment. It is strongly believed that the defect and setback upsurge in the academic community, especially accounting circle in the secondary schools, comes as a result of laxity in the area of school supervision. In the end, this is where the exploit of the teaching-learning process lies in yielding the intended result. The job of school supervision has become progressively more difficult over the course of the last few decades. As a result, there is an urgent need for school supervision or supervisory teams to make use of relevant behavioral theories and techniques in order to successfully manage the modern complex educational institutions.
School supervision can be understood as the activity that is carried out by supervisors in order to supervise the activity of the employees or staff as well as that of the learners in order to determine whether or not the teaching and learning process was effective. Particularly with regard to the instruction of accounting-related topics in secondary schools, the oversight provided by the school has to be carried out in an appropriate and efficient manner. Accounting is a discipline that entails the process of recording, evaluating, categorizing, choosing, summarizing, interpreting, and conveying financial data of an organization to the end user in order for the business to make meaningful economic decisions. This process is known as accounting.
It can be seen, based on the content of the academic performance of the students in subject, that the performance of the student in the subject (in terms of academic) requires effective and efficient school supervision as a result of the relevance of the subject in other fields of study. This is because the subject is relevant to other fields of study. Accounting is a field that comes under the category of being a vocational area, and as a result, it is one that is highly important for business. It assists organizations that are generating a profit as well as organizations that are not making a profit, in the sense that it helps organizations develop policies that would increase growth. It helps owners evaluate the effectiveness of management and gives information that may help people outside of a company establish an impartial opinion about the companies they are evaluating.
As a result of this, the purpose of the research is to investigate the impact of school supervision on the academic performance of secondary school students in Nigeria. The findings of the research area could also have a broad relevance to other schools in Nigeria in terms of planning, organizing, and assessing the academic performance of students both within and outside of the study region.
1.2 Statement Of The Problem
It has been observed with keen interest for some time now that there has been a sharp increase in the poor academic performance of students in the subject of accounting, most specifically in the senior secondary school certificate examination (SSCE), as a result of inadequate supervision. This trend has been observed for some years now. However, the subject of accounting has played and continues to play a role in enterprises, which, like any other human organization, require adequate supervision in order to ascertain the pre-determined aims and objectives. Furthermore, in order to increase the number of future businessmen, the effects of school supervision need to be considered. In light of this, the purpose of this body of study is to explore the impact that the level of academic supervision provided by schools has on the overall academic performance of secondary school students in Nigeria.
