Academic Performance

Academic performance refers to a student's level of knowledge and skills demonstrated through assessments and grades. It is influenced by both teaching and learning activities. Academic performance is commonly measured by a student's grade point average and ability to meet course objectives and requirements. Studies have shown that student lateness has a positive correlation with lower academic performance. Students who frequently arrive late to school are more likely to miss important lessons, activities, and instructional time. They also may face punishments like detention that cause further absences from class. Researching the underlying factors for student lateness could help schools, counselors, parents, and administrators address the issue and support improved academic outcomes.

ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE

Academic performance is an issue that deeply concerns students,


parents, teachers and authorities not only in our country, but also in
many other Latin American countries and continents. The complexity
of the academic performance starts from its conceptualization.
Sometimes it is known as school readiness, academic achievement
and school performance, but generally the difference in concepts is
only explained by semantics as they are used as synonyms.
Conventionally, it has been agreed that academic performance should
be used in university populations and school performance in regular
and alternative basic education populations. We will point out just a
few because there is a diversity of definitions. Several authors agree
that academic performance is the result of learning, prompted by the
teaching activity by the teacher and produced by the student.
Academic performance is “the product given by the students and it is
usually expressed through school grades”. Academic performance as
a measure of the indicative and responsive abilities that express, in an
estimated way, what a person has learned as a result of a process of
education or training. Academic performance involves meeting goals,
achievements and objectives set in the program or course that a
student attends. These are expressed through grades which are the
result of an assessment that involves passing or not certain tests,
subjects or courses. Academic performance also can be seen as the
level of knowledge shown in an area or subject compared to the
norm, and it is generally measured using the grade point average.

LATENESS TO SCHOOL AND ACADEMIC


PERFORMANCE

Lateness to school has a positive relationship with students’ low


academic performance. This means that the more students get late to
school, the more to measuring they low academic performance. This
could be due to the fact that (1) students’ inability to attend classes
because they could not get to school as at when due, hence, they
could not partake in all the school tasks and activities for instance,
partaking in the assembly activities; (2) many late students serve
punishments like washing toilets, corporal punishment, cutting
grasses which make them miss school activities the more. Lateness is
linked to time which is its measuring yardstick. It is pertinent to
research into the factors responsible for students’ lateness to school
as this study of this nature will be of immense significance to the
Nigerian Government, school administrators, teachers, school
counsellors, students, parents and the entire populace. For instance,
through the findings of this study, school counsellors will be able to
guide students against arriving late to school. Similarly, the findings
of this study will be of immense benefit to parents as they will be
able to monitor their wards and ensure they do not go late to school.
The entire populace will also benefit from the findings of this study
as students who do not arrive late to school are likely to be good
instrument for national development in the nearest future. In addition,
several studies have been conducted on students’ lateness, however,
this study is different from the earlier ones.

CONCLUSION

Conclusively, lateness among students is a major and continuous


administrative problem, and there is need for students and parents to
help identify and proffer solutions to this quality and disturbing
problem that could lead to students’ drop-out from school, and also
inefficiency and ineffectiveness on the part of the school
administrators, by way of school administration and management;
knowing full well that lateness could be reduced by providing free
education counseling and discipline among students, in addition to
the use of electronic systems, truancy sweep by school heads. It
should also be noted that lateness is common among female students,
and as such they should be of more concern to the school
administrator. Finally, the remedy to any situation is in the situation,
thus, the school administrator, should study the peculiar situation and
respond as the situation suggests. The fact is no two situations are the
same, no matter how similar.
