This study models the influence of student and school attributes mediated by effects of numerical and graphical abilities on achievement of students in economics. Factors influencing student achievement are home, student, school, or environment related. Subject content is also an important factor which determines achievement. There are three ways to explain Economic phenomena; words, mathematically, or graphically. Therefore, level of ability in these approaches is an important determinant of student level of achievement. Participants of the research are Senior Secondary School II (SSS 2) students who enrolled in an economics class in Ibadan metropolis of Oyo states, Nigeria. There are 61 students from private and 437 from public school while the average age of the students is 15.29. A path analysis was used in the study following a hypothesized and modified model to ensure model-data fit. This study shows that school type is an important factor either with direct or indirect effect on achievement while class and the age of the student have indirect effect on achievement either through numerical or graphical ability. Also, numerical and graphical ability have a significant direct effect on achievement. This study revealed the need to emulate traditions of certain schools. Students in less mathematically and graph-oriented classes should have more time devoted to strengthening basic knowledge in this area so they can improve their level of knowledge and achievement. A latent model approach in a Bayesian framework is a viable alternative. The researchers recommend the inclusion of other variables in future studies to gain further insights into how these factors may affect economics achievement. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
