ABSTRACT
This study examined the parents’ and teachers’ perception of the use of mother tongue as language of instruction in Lower Primary Schools (1 – 3). A total of four (4) public primary schools in Mainland Local Government Area of Lagos State were used. The study was carried out to ascertain whether the children’s mastery of mother tongue at school, is influenced by their parents’ and teachers’ perception of the language.
The descriptive survey research was used in order to collect data from respondents. Two different questionnaires were used – one for the teachers and the other for the parents. A total of two hundred and forty (240) respondents were randomly selected and used for this study. The sample size is made up of one hundred and twenty (120) parents and one hundred and twenty (120) teachers.
Two null hypotheses were formulated and tested using the independent t-test statistical tool at 0.05 level of significance. At the end of the analyses, the results obtained show that:
There is a significant difference between parents’ perception of mother tongue and children’s mastery of mother tongue at home.
There is a significant difference between teachers’ perception of mother tongue and children’s academic performance at school.
Based on the results obtained at the end of the analyses, it could be deduced that, the way both parents and teachers perceive the use of mother tongue as a medium of instruction at school, to a large extent influence the children’s mastery of the mother tongue and their performance in it. Recommendations were proffered also.
