2.6 Class Size
Class size and pupils academic performance is a major controversy the lower teacher-pupils ratio allows for more effective communication between the learner and the teacher. The effective of class size on cognitive achievement has been debated and researched for many years and had been inclusive. Robison (2006) opined that even with these methodological problems, research has generally demonstrated the influence of class or teacher-pupil ratio on pupil’s academic performance in a variety of educational setting.
In view of this fact it could be said that teacher’s pupil ration is one of the importance
Factures determining good academic performance of pupils.
A recent study by Idienumah (2001) reported that there is positive relationship between certain variable such as class size, teacher-pupils ratio pupil’s factors and performance in examination. They were discovered to be factors that have strong and direct influence on academic performance of pupils. School with large class size and high teacher pupil’s ratio recorded poor performance while better academic performance is associated with schools with small class size and lower teacher student ratio.
Other studies like Bozzomo (1999) Bourice (2007), and Boltom (2005); in one of his major finding revealed that the class size were found to be negatively related to school academic performance.
On the other hand, most parents, teachers, and students have a strong belief that small group classes are preferable to large ones. As Bolton (2010) put it “there is after all an orthodox tradition to the proposition that small classes are necessary for student achievement.
2.7 Learning Location
Learning Location refers to the area (community) where educational institution is sited (located).
Oyedeji (2009).Further stressed the importance of school location. Moreover, he said, they are useful for the community for example, extra moral lesson, and adult education. Lessons, discussion, public confirmed from research that learning is inseparable from its social contents.
Brown, Colling and Digid (2009) explained that there are three interesting sets of variables that can be applied to classroom learning. He further explains the important roles location plays in the performance and achievements of pupils.
Omoyemi (2008) discovered that locations of learning were not based on sound principles of distribution of population because of initial community participation. In his observation, Ogunsaju (2009) noted that school sites in the past were arbitrary chosen with little or no consideration for the necessary parameter such as creativity and corporate planning in another development Orebiyi (2011) using location implication of primary education reform in Ewupe Community Primary School Ado-OdoOtta Local Government Ogun State between 2002 and 2003 purports that unplanned location of primary schools has limited the spread of education to a few centre. Madunare (2007) investigation the distribution of primary school in Imo State (Ohozara Local Government Area) employing locational planning technique to carry out diagnostic and projection analysis on distribution of facilities in relation to education reforms, discovered among other things, that were imbalances in the relationship between population density and distribution of primary school by Local Government Area. In her analysis of the distribution of public primary schools.
Tenimowo (2005) discovered that the distribution to shows disorder, painlessness and inefficiency here to Pupil’s academic performance the implication is that while people in some area enjoy minimum traveling distances to acquire education; some people in other places suffer by having to cover maximum distances to get to their school. In line with the above, Onoker Horaye (2008) emphasized that lack of suitable school location has contributed to the imbalances of western education from one part of the country to the other.
Writing on the important of location Ojoawo (2009) found that it is one of the potent factors that influence Ezike (2007) conceptualized urban environment which have high population density containing a high variety and beauty and common place view. He further identified the rural environment as being characterized by low population density containing a low variety and isolated place. View earlier in his contribution, lipton (2008) corroborated that rural community is characterized by low population, subsistence mode of life monotonous and burdensome “sitting†hotel, recreational central, market bank, and good road network as being present in their urban environment.

CHAPTER FOUR - [ Total Page(s): 9 ]Table 4.6 shows that the four indices of physical learning environment (physical space, equipment, health, safety and beauty) jointly have positive relationship with the pupils’ performance (R = .902). The coefficient of determinant indicates that the four indices of physical learning environment jointly contributed 81.3% of the total variance in the dependent variable, that is, pupils’ performance (Adjusted R2 x 100 = 81.3). This joint contribution of the indices of physical learn ... Continue reading---
