“…This could be traced to the fact that the mean for male students across the three item formats was higher than their female counterparts. The findings of the current study agree with the position of Thawebieh (2016) that there was a significant difference in the performance of male and female students but disagree with the findings of Eleje et al, [13].…”

“…The results of the statistical analysis revealed that there was a significant difference in the performance of students in favour of true-false. Additionally, researchers have equally showed that gender impacts student's academic achievement [13], (Thawebieh, 2016). In this study, the possible effect of gender on students' Economics achievement score in various objective test formats was also investigated.…”

This is a comparative study of achievement scores of students in economics after three objective test formats. Two research questions and three hypotheses guided the study. A 2x3 mixed ANOVA design was used to carry out the study. The sample for the study comprised of 533 Senior Secondary II (SSII) students offering Economics drawn using multi-stage sampling procedure from public secondary schools in Anambra State. Economics Achievement Test in short-answer, true-false and multiple-choice formats were utilized in data collection. The reliability indices of the instruments were 0.76, 0.78 and 0.83 respectively for short-answer, multiple-choice and true-false item formats. Kuder-Richardson Formular 21 was employed to measure the internal consistency reliability of the test scores for the three objective tests. Each student took the three objective tests. The collected data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation and two-way ANOVA. The findings of the study showed that students performed better with multiple-choice format relative to other objective test formats. While the tested hypotheses revealed that a significant difference existed between the achievement scores of male and female SSII students exposed to short-answer test and multiple-choice formats, no significant difference existed between achievement scores of male and female SSII students exposed to true/false test format in economics. It was further revealed that there was no interaction effect between objective test formats and gender of secondary school students studying economics. It was recommended that examination bodies should keep relying on multiple-choice since it leads to higher achievement scores than others.

“…Academic achievement is the presentation results that show the extent to which a student has acquired the specific stated goals of activities in an educational setting (Eleje et al, 2020). As regards Economics, the academic achievement of secondary school students in Economics has been fluctuating over the years.…”

Investigated in this study were the effects of Computer Based Test (CBT) and Paper and Pencil Tests (PPT) on Secondary School (SS) students’ academic achievement and test anxiety in Economics. The pretest-posttest non-randomized control group design was used as the research design. The study was done in Asaba, Delta State, Nigeria. All Senior Secondary II (SSII) students who offered Economics comprised the study’s population. 107 SS II students were selected as the sample. Two instruments - Economics Achievement Test (EAT) and Test Anxiety Inventory (TAI) were used for data collection. Both EAT and TAI were validated by the experts. The reliability coefficients of the instruments were .95 and .68, respectively. The data collected were analyzed using mean statistics to answer two research questions, whereas two formulated null hypotheses were tested at a .05 level of significance using ANCOVA. The findings of the study indicated that students’ mean achievement scores in PPT were slightly higher than students’ mean achievement scores in CBT and the students’ mean achievement scores were significantly different. Students in PPT exhibited greater test anxiety than their counterparts in CBT, even though the difference in the mean test anxiety scores of students in CBT and PPT was not significant. Based on the findings, the researchers recommended, among others, that the Federal Government should make and implement policies to mandate senior secondary students to use PPT for all internal assessments in various subjects in the country.

“…For students to learn and achieve excellently, especially in the subject that deals with articulation and aggregation, they must be sufficiently and psychologically healthy in behavior [23]. A psychologically healthy individual is the person that has a positive perception of his/her behaviour as it represents the total self.…”

The impact of narcissism and self-esteem on academic achievement has long been an important issue in developmental research. The study aimed to explore the students' narcissism and self-esteem as correlates of academic achievement in Mathematics in Anambra State. Five research questions and five null hypotheses guided the study. The study adopted a correlational approach. The population of the study comprised of 21204 SS2 students from which a sample of 630 was drawn. Multi-stage procedure was used to select the sample. Two standardized research instruments namely; Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI), and Self-esteem Questionnaire (SQ), as well as score from students' promotional examination were used for data collection. Cronbach's alpha was used to determine the reliability of the items in the instruments. The overall reliability coefficient was 0.75 which shows that the instrument was reliable and good for the study. The Pearson Product Moment Correlation was used to answer research questions 1 to 4 and to test hypotheses 1 to 4, while the research question 5 and hypothesis 5 were answered and tested with multiple correlations. The findings showed that students' power narcissism recorded a very low positive relationship with academic achievement in mathematics. Findings also revealed that the multiple correlation of these variables is positively non significant with academic achievement in mathematics. Based on these findings, it was recommended that as narcissistic individuals believe strongly that they are better than others, teachers and counsellors should develop a strategy to enhance the confidence and ability in the students as these will help them to become life long learning individuals thereafter.
