| 1 | ENTRY AND EXIT COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF STUDENTS’ ATTITUDE TOWARDS STUDYING EARLY CHILDHOOD AND PRIMARY EDUCATION IN KWARA STATE UNIVERSITY, MALETE |
Students’ attitude to learning a subject or a course to a large extent determines their future prospects in that course. Hence, this study investigated the entry and exit comparative analysis of students’ attitude towards studying early childhood and primary education in Kwara State University, Malete. Two research questions and three hypotheses were raised and formulated for the study respectively with descriptive and inferential statistics. The research study adopted a longitudinal survey research design. The sample of the study was 44 undergraduate students in Kwara State University, Malete. Two (2) validated and reliably (QSEASECPE = 0.81 and SEASECPEQ = 0.76) tested research instruments were used for data gathering. The study lasted for a period of 4 years (2018 - 2022). The findings of the study revealed that undergraduate students’ attitude towards studying early childhood and primary education at the entry (Mean = 2.14) and exit ((Mean = 3.48) stages were negative and positive respectively. The findings also revealed that there was significant difference in the entry and exit attitude of undergraduate students towards studying early childhood and primary education (t = -12.304; df = 43; P < 0.05). It was recommended that fresh students should be exposed to introductory courses that will open their eyes to prospects and opportunities in Early Childhood and Primary Education. | Kayode Ezecheal OBAFEMI; Rasheed Alaro Adewale HAMZAT & Yahaya OLAREWAJU | 3 | Journal | 2022-06-01 | https://jass.org.ng/vol_3_no_2/entry_and_exit_comparative_analysis_of_students_attitude_towards_studying_early_childhood_and_primary_education.pdf | |
