ABSTRACT
The
study is aimed at determining statistically whether the interest of students in
sciences in Ikwuano Local Government Area in Abia State depends on the
influence of parents, teacher, peer group and learning/teaching material.
Community Grammar School, Oloko, Awom na-ebo Secondary Technical School,
Comprehensive Secondary School, Ihim lbere and lkwuano Secondary School, Ariam
were used as the case study. The SS 1 students of these schools were the target
population. Questionnaire was given to a randomly selected sample of these
students in the different schools. the contingency analysis using the
Chi-square statistic was used to analyse the data received to determine the
following; Independence of choice of science on parental influence, independent
of choice of science on teachers influence and independence of choice of
science on peer group influence. Based on the findings, it was concluded that
the parents influence the students in their choice of science subjects. Also
the students tend to follow their peers to do science. It was revealed that
both teachers and learning materials have little influence on the student's
choice of sciences.
