SUMMARY:Context\, Input\, and Implementation Challenges on Learning Outcomes in Geography
DESCRIPTION:Summary\nGeography has laudable goals that could make students become responsible citizens. However\, students’ achievement in geography is generally low\, and this is caused by map reading. Previous studies on map reading concentrated largely on teaching strategies with little attention to factors that could hinder effective learning of geography. This study\, therefore\, investigated self-efficacy and locus of control as predictors of students’ achievement in map reading among secondary school students in Ibadan\, Nigeria. A descriptive research design of survey type was adopted for the study. Simple random sampling techniques were adopted to select ten senior secondary schools from Ibadan North and Akinyele Local Government Areas of Oyo state\, while a total number of three hundred students participated in the study. The instruments used were validated and reliable. \nResults showed that there was a positive relationship between self-efficacy and academic achievement\, while locus of control was found to have a negative relationship with academic achievement. It was also found out that achievement in map reading was jointly predicted by self-efficacy and locus of control. Self-efficacy and locus of control influenced secondary school students’ achievement in map reading. Teachers should work on the self-efficacy and locus of control of students. \nSession Focus\nSecondary/High School | Curriculum and Instruction | Geography\, map reading\, psychological variables \nConference Room\nWinnebago \nMeet the Presenter\nPeter A.
