Abstract:

This study examined the effect of home environment on the academic achievement of pupils in primary schools in Ijebu North Local Government Area, Ogun State. The objectives were to determine the extent to which home environment influences pupils' academic achievement in primary schools in Ijebu North Local Government Area, Ogun State; examine differences in male and female pupils' academic achievement; and determine differences in male and female pupils' home environment. ‎The study adopted a descriptive survey research design. A sample of two hundred and fifty (250) pupils from twenty-five (25) primary schools in Ijebu North Local Government Area, Ogun State, participated in the study. The researchers used a self-designed checklist titled Home Environment and Academic Achievement to collect data. The researchers used descriptive statistics, regression and an independent-samples t-test for data analysis. ‎The findings revealed that the home environment significantly influenced pupils' academic achievement. The study also found no significant difference in academic achievement between male and female pupils and no significant difference in home environment between male and female pupils. Based on the findings, the study recommended that parents and teachers encourage pupils to develop positive study habits at home and in school. Parents should encourage pupils to learn at home without distractions and support learning activities.
