Abstract :
This study examined Take-home Assignment
as Correlate to Academic Performance of Computer
Studies Students in Junior Secondary Schools in AdoEkiti, Ekiti State. Descriptive research design of the
survey type was employed and used. The population of the
study was one hundred students of Junior Secondary
School two (JSS2) out of all Junior Secondary School in
Ekiti State, using multistage sampling techniques. A selfdesign questionnaire title Computer Studies Achievement
Test (CSAT) was used to elicit information from the
respondents. The first instrument consisted 20 item
questions to know the important of take-home assignment
on students’ academic performance. The second
instrument consisted 25 items on Computer Studies
Achievement Test (CSAT) was administered. Both face
and content validity were satisfied by experts after the
construction of the instruments. A test retest method was
used through the administration of the instrument to 15
respondents outside the sample within 2 weeks to
obtained reliability coefficient 0.79. The study found the
Take-home Assignment as Correlate to Academic
Performance of Computer Studies Students in Junior
Secondary Schools in Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State. Specifically,
the study sought to: - investigate whether given Takehome assignment to students in Computer Studies is
better than restricting them only to classroom work;
make useful suggestions that will be based on the findings
in the act of giving Take-home assignment to the students
in Computer Studies and determine whether there will be
any discrepancy in the academic performance of
Computer Studies Student due to the Take-home
assignment. The findings of this study will be of immense
benefit to students, teachers, parents, policy makers,
society and prospective researchers. The results showed
that there was no significant relationship between Takehome Assignment and Students’ Academic Performance
in Computer Studies. The study also revealed that there
was no significant difference between Take-home
Assignment and Classroom activity of Students’ in
Computer Studies. The study equally revealed that there
was no significant relationship between Take-home
Assignment and Classroom activity of students’ in
Computer Studies. The study further showed that there
was no significant difference between Take-home
Assignment and Students’ Academic Performance in
Computer Studies. It was conclusion that there was a
direct and positive relationship between Take-home
assignment and academic performance of Junior
Secondary School Students in Computer Studies in Ado
Local Government and Take-home Assignment are useful
practice strategies for the improvement of students’
performance when important factors are adequately
considered. It was recommended that Take-home
assignments should not be something that was completed
once and never discussed again. It should be continuous
activities in other to keep the students busy doing
profitable things after the school hours; Parents have a
significant responsibility to play in supporting student
learning. Studies reveal that students perform better in
school if their parents are involved in their education. By
becoming familiar with the curriculum, parents can
determine what is being taught in the courses their
daughters and sons are taking and what they are expected
to learn. This awareness will enhance parents’ ability to
discuss their children’s work with them, to communicate
with teachers, and to ask relevant questions about their
children’s progress and Teachers should use variety of
instructional, assessment, and evaluation strategies, that
would provide several opportunities for students to
develop skills and knowledge, as well as knowledge of
computer studies concepts, processes, and structures, that
will permit them to contribute more effectively in their
communities as active and responsible citizens
