1.2 Statement of problem
In
Nigeria, the Academic Performance of the students has been poor
especially from 2008 till date. Some of the factors that could influence
students’ achievement have been found by various researchers to emanate
from parents, teachers, and the students themselves. One of these
student factors is the low self-esteem of these students. Self-esteem of
the students has been linked with their Academic Performance and these
two are important factors for personnel development which the nation
needs in order to meet with the global challenges in the competitive
world.
Evidence from some developed countries like Britain and United
States of America tend to indicate that the pattern of communication
adopted by parents in grooming their children may influence the
students’ Academic Performance in school. However, considering their
different socio-cultural environments, the extent to which parent-child
communication patterns would influence self-esteem and Academic
Performance of the students in Nigeria, is not yet clearly known.
The
researcher’s worry then is that one does not know if these patterns of
communication differ among the parents. One does not know how the
parent-child communication patterns influence the in students’
self-esteem. Also one does not know how the parent-child communication
patterns influence the Academic Performance of students. Put succinctly
in a question form, the problem of this study is: what is the influence
of parent-child communication on Academic Performance of students in
Ajayi Crowther University Oyo? This question underlies the problem of
this study.
