RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ORDINAL POSITION AND ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT OF STUDENTS AT SECONDARY SCHOOL LEVEL

Abstract

The researcher was interested in determining how pupils' ordinal positions affected their academic performance at the secondary school level. The academic success of kids is significantly influenced by their ordinal rank, which also influences how they will continue to develop. The goal of this study was to determine if children from big, low-income households who have low parental incomes have any chance of succeeding in life. The pupils each received a questionnaire with 15 questions. The pupils were instructed to provide an accurate response or number for each item. Students from the 10th grade at GHSS#2 and GHSS#3 participated in a study to determine the impact of a child's ordinal rank on academic success at the secondary school level. The academic success of secondary school pupils is significantly correlated with a child's ordinal position. According to the values in the table, a child's academic accomplishment is higher if it is in the first three ordinal positions and worse if it is in positions four or higher. The researcher himself entered the replies on the questionnaire. The item functioned as a child's ordinal rank and the marks earned in the ninth-grade final test. The student's academic performance was evaluated using the school's examination history.
