The study determined Relationship between Students' |
|
Expectancy Beliefs and English Language Performance of |
|
Students in Maiduguri Metropolis, Borno State, Nigeria. |
|
Correlation design was adopted for the study. Four |
|
hypotheses which determined the relationships between the |
|
components of expectancy beliefs: ability, tasks |
|
difficulty, and past experience beliefs, and performance |
|
in English Language and the difference among these |
|
components in explaining the variance of English Language |
|
performance were tested. A sample of 400 (192 males and |
|
208 females) SS II students from 8 secondary schools, |
|
participated in the study. The sample was selected |
|
through stratified random sampling. Ability Self- |
|
Perceptions Instrument (ASPI), with a Cronbach Alpha |
|
Coefficient reliability of 0.96, and students' end of |
|
session results in English Language were used to collect |
|
the data. Multiple regressions were used to analyse the |
|
data. The results revealed significant relationship |
|
between ability, task difficulty and past experience |
|
beliefs and academic performance in English Language |
|
respectively. Task difficulty and past experience beliefs |
|
contributed significantly to the variance of performance |
|
in English Language whereas ability belief does not make |
|
a significant contribution. Recommendations were |
|
highlight for teachers and school counsellors. |
