In education, the phrase assessment refers to the wide range of methods and tools that educators use to assess, measure, and document students' academic readiness, learning progress, skill development, and educational needs. There are mainly two methods of assessment in Nigerian schools; viz: School-Based Assessment (SBA) and external examinations. The purpose of this research is to see if SBA has an impact on the final examination grades in secondary schools Mathematics, Computer Science and Physics in Ondo State, Nigeria.

The continuous explosion of discoveries in field of science and technology in this 21st century calls for shift from conventional teaching methods to a more innovative teaching strategies in Nigerian secondary schools. Instructional strategies adopted by teachers have been linked by researchers to studentsâ€™ conceptions, misconceptions, difficulties of some concepts as well as poor performances in science subject like Biology at the senior school certificate examinations in Nigeria. Genetics is one of the concepts in Biology that was reported by researchers to be difficult to teach by teacher

Abstract:

Choosing the right academic major for junior secondary students into senior secondary school will assist both students and their teachers toward achieving the academic goal. Traditionally, students seeking admission into senior classes (Gambia, Sierra-leone, Ghana, Liberia and Nigeria) must have passed stipulated examinations like Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) and/or West Africa Junior Certificate Examination, which are done at the end of year three (at a sitting). They must pass the exam(s) satisfactorily with no emphasis on any of Science, Art or Commercial related subjects.

Abstract:

A new education curriculum for a new democratic dispensation was welcomed and unavoidable in South Africa after the first democratic election in 1994. The main reason for this radical change within education was that policymakers needed to move away from the apartheid curriculum with all its attendant political baggage and address the laudable outcomes of skills, knowledge and values for purposes of achieving social justice, equality and development. Within this curriculum, the South African Schools Act (Act 84 of 1996) recognises two broad categories of schools public and independent schools.

The purpose was to generate pedagogy for improved teaching of a difficult aspect of comprehension—word substitution. Word substitution is expected to be a reflection of extensive reading as it has to do with how much of vocabulary reservation the candidate possesses and how best he is able to use them. Unfortunately, not many students find this aspect interesting possibly because of the drop in attitude to reading.

These goals include; increasing enrolment in primary and secondary schools, improving the quality of education, and increasing funding to this critical sector. Several economic reform programmes in Nigeria have been abandoned not because they had no accomplishments, but largely as a result of paucity of studies assessing them.
