This study investigated self-concept and academic performance of students in Mathematics to confirm their relationship. The study also found out whether location of school influenced self-concept of students. A Sample of 400 students drawn from four Local Government Areas of Ekiti State was used. The stratified random sampling technique was employed to cater for both urban and rural students. A - 25 item instrument called Student Self- Concept Inventory (SSCI) was used. Two hypotheses were tested using Pearson Product Moment Correlation and t-test statistics. The results of the findings showed that self - concept did not influence academic performance of students. It was recommended that parents, teachers and school counselors should not rate academic performance of students based on their self- concept

The study examined the relationship between students' achievement in mathematics in JSCE-MOCK and JSCE. The study comprised of 104 JSS III students drawn from four Secondary Schools in Jos North Local Government Area of Plateau State, Nigeria. The results of the selected students in mathematics in JSCE-MOCK and JSCE were selected for the study using Students Mathematics Achievement Test Booklet (SMATB), which was developed by the researcher. Thus, the design of the study is an ex post facto. The data collected were analyzed using Karl Pearson correlation coefficient (r). The significance of the correlation was tested using t-test at 0.05 level of significance. The result of the study reveals that a significant relationship exists between students' achievement in mathematics and that a significant relationship exists between male and female students in mathematics in JSCE-MOCK and JSCE as revealed by the independent analyses in the study. Some of the recommendations made are that school authorities should ensure that their students are well prepared for the JSCE-MOCK. They should also ensure that students accord the JSCE-MOCK all the seriousness it deserves.

The study examined the relationship between students’ perception of assessment and attitude to mathematics among senior secondary students in Alimosho and Somolu local government areas of Lagos state. It was set within the blueprint of a correlational research design involving a total of two hundred and seventy (270) Senior secondary (SS2) students of which one hundred and fifty one (151) were males and one hundred and nineteen (119) were females. The instrument used for data collection was a questionnaire consisting of Students’ Perception of Assessment Questionnaire (SPAQ) and Attitude to Mathematics Scale (ATM) set on a four-point scale; with reliability coefficients of 0.82 and 0.81 respectively. The statistical tools used for analysis are mean, frequency, percentage, standard deviation, t-test and Pearson Product Moment Correlation. Analysis revealed that the relationship between Students’ Perception of Assessment and their attitude to mathematics was positive and statistically significant (r = 0. 457) at 0.05 level of significance which implies that students’ perception of assessment in mathematics increases with their attitude towards the subject. It is recommended that mode of assessment should be varied in secondary schools to subsume all aspects of learning so that students’ attitude to the mathematics can be enhanced. Keywords: Perception of assessment, attitude, relationship and mathematics.

This study was carried to examine the influence of self-concept on academic performance of secondary school students' in mathematics in five-selected (5) public secondary schools in Calabar Municipality Local Government Area out of sixteen existing secondary schools from the total population of eleven thousand two (11,200) SS2 students. The study adopted the survey and quasi-experimental design with a pre-test, post-test of control and experimental group to find the mean and standard deviation of the sub-variables. Two hypotheses were formulated and tested using Pearson's Product Moment correlation coefficient analysis. The results obtained from the analysis shows that there is a significant relationship between gender and selfconcept in mathematics. The results obtained also showed that there is a significant difference between Arts and science with regards to student's self-concept in mathematics. The study recommended that Government should organize seminars for students, teachers and curriculum developers on mathematics related subjects in secondary schools and also equip teachers with good test books in their subject area to enhance learning in our school.

Mathematics is a core subject across various levels of learning in the Nigerian education system. It is a branch of science that deals with numbers. Possession of mathematics skills aids a holistic development of an individual, hence mathematics is an indispensable tool in the growth and development of a nation. This research study takes into consideration the development and validation of mathematics achievement tests amongst secondary school students in Ibadan North Local Government Area of Oyo state. Three research questions guided the study; Evaluation and descriptive survey designs were employed for the study. In order to analyze the required psychometric properties of the test items, a sample of thirty (30) SS1 students was drawn using a simple random sampling technique, from five public secondary schools with a population of 1546 students. These schools were selected from 42 schools using a stratified random sampling technique in Ibadan North Governments Local Area. The instrument used in the collection of data for this research study was a Mathematics Achievement Test (MAT) developed by the researcher. SPSS "Statistical Package for Social Sciences" and Microsoft Excel were used in the calculation of the difficulty index (p-value), discrimination index and Kuder-Richardson formula (KR 20). The measure for internal consistency of the test items was found to be of a high-reliability coefficient of 0.84. The percentage and frequency were used to ascertain the content validity, alongside the face validity of the instrument by experts. The discrimination Index was found to be maximum at a P-value range of 0.4 to 0.6. Items with low discrimination index and low difficulty index are recommended to be revised for further use This research study is found to be useful to teachers, curriculum designers and educational stakeholders.

Effect of Self-Assessment on Academic Performance of Secondary School Students in Rivers State of Nigeria2020 •
The study examined the effect of self-assessment on academic performance of students in English language, Mathematics and Integrated science. The study adopted a quasi-experimental design and four research questions and their corresponding hypotheses guided the study. Junior secondary III students from three senatorial districts were involved with the study. In each school, two arms of JSSIII classes were used. Students in one arm consisted the experimental group and the second arm consisted the control group. A sample of 359 students drawn from a population of 5400 took part in the study. A pretest was given to all the students, the students in the experimental group were taught the skills of self-assessment after which they assessed themselves while those in the control group did the traditional teacher assessment. All the students took a posttest and scores from the pre and posttests were subjected to descriptive statistics of mean and standard deviation to answer the research questions while ANCOVA was used to test the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. Results revealed the students in the experimental groups in English language and Mathematics outperformed those in the control group but not so for Integrated science. It was recommended among others that the students be encouraged to embrace self-assessment as it enhances their academic performance.
