THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND

Overview

In an educational institutions, the students are the main character in the plot, without

them, the school, the teachers, and facilities will be worthless. The topmost priority of

educators is the quality of students performance in academic standards. Students can

engage academically and socially in a productive way when the teachers build a positive

vibes and bond with the students. The relationship between the lecturers and student is

important because lecturers are the main reference for the student if the students are facing

any difficulties in their study.

Satisfaction is a well-research topic in academic and non-academic settings,

student’s satisfaction data helps the students to make their curriculum more responsive and

effective. Continuous monitoring and improvement of unit teaching quality are essential

‘close-loop’ activity for educators who can seek formal tertiary student feedback and

comments to teaching staff that also invite students to reflect their learning experience.

On the other hand, student assessment performance is a direct measure to evaluate

their achievements through rigorous assessment activities. The effectiveness of a curriculum

can be evaluated using direct performance measures (e.g., comprehensive exams, projects

and presentations) and by indirect performance measures. However, due to large number of

academic commitments students are unable to prioritize their studies and hence lose

valuable time. So students who cannot manage time properly end up failing in high school

according to (Peter, 2012).

Student satisfaction associated with persistence, academic performance, retention,

and its relations to career advancement were examined. It was aimed at measuring service

quality (Servqual) dimensions as a foundation of satisfaction and how, in what

comportments, they were interrelated. The negative consequences of academic

procrastination provide that a life for the procrastinating students is intricate and apparently

uncontrollable which sometimes leads to failing grades and repetition. Not being

active learners is another reason why some students fail and the lack of motivation and

interest is the cause behind it. Parents and teachers should take the role of motivators in

a student life and this helps them to easily relate the significance of studies to real life.

Background of the Study

Based on other studies there are a lot of problems and difficulties experience to

achieve the academic performance satisfaction of every students.

As said by Martirosyan (2014) there are investigated factors that affect student

performance in secondary settings. It is intuitive that a strong academic background and skill

set is important to student achievement. However, it is normally believed that a host of other

student personal and institutional attributes impacts student attitudes, or their satisfaction

with their school experience. Ajzen and Fishbein (1980) theorized that an individual’s

intentions, and thus their behavior, may be predicted by attitudes. From this basis, other

researchers have offered that student satisfaction supports their intention to stay in learning,

which supports student retention.

The relationship between student satisfaction and academic performance is

important in contemporary higher education, attracting much attention by teaching

practitioners and academics because it may reinforce powerful synergies at work in

students’ educational experience. Biner et al. (2002) demonstrated that higher level of

relative performance, were associated with student satisfaction with the technological

aspects of learning, student satisfaction with the promptness of material exchange with the

lecturer, and overall student satisfaction(Lucey, 2013).

 In Africa, Mbua (2003) implies that motivated and satisfied teachers are most likely to

affect the students‟ learning positively while the opposite of that may have negative impacts

on students‟ performance. Educational leaders and administrators/managers have to pay

special attention to the phenomena of motivation and job satisfaction. Quaglia, Marrion &

McIntire (2001) suggest that future research should consider whether teachers who are

dissatisfied with their jobs negatively affect students‟ academic performance and whether

teachers who are satisfied with their jobs have a positive impact on students‟ academic

performance.

Statement of the Problem

The study will seek to determine the effects of Academic Performance Satisfaction Of

Grade 11 Students In Divisoria High School.

satisfaction in Grade 11 students?

1.4 How does faculty performance strengthen by synergy of students?

1.5 How does mastery and use of process skills by teachers improve learners’

academic performance?
