ABSTRACT
The study was undertaken to investigate the impacts of Continuous Assessment on academic achievement of NCE students in Kaduna state. The population of the study comprises of all students in schools of education in Kaduna state. The sample consisted of 90 students drawn from the schools of Education in Kaduna state. A pre-test post-test experimental control group design was used. The experimental group was further divided into two groups, E1 and E2, while only one group serves as control group. The experimental group EI was subjected to two sets of Continuous Assessment while E2, the second experimental group was subjected to four sets of Continuous Assessment and finally the control group C was left without any Continuous Assessment. Pre-test and post-test were administered to the three groups. Five hypotheses were stated. Two instruments, teacher made test (T.M.T) was used for the Continuous Assessment and Organic Integrated science Test (OCT) was used as both pretest and post test. The data obtained were analyzed using F-test, ANOVA, t-test, and Pearson product moment correlation coefficient (r) statistics at 0.05 level of significance. The findings of the study revealed that Continuous Assessment has significant impact on academic achievement of NCE students. In the light of the findings from this study, it was recommended that integrated science teachers should strive to see that at least four C.A's are given to students per semester in order to improve their academic achievement and that teachers should also be properly trained on the methods and techniques of Continuous Assessment construction and administration for the system to be impactive.
