ABSTRACT
The purpose of the study was to
investigate the influence of school climate on the academic achievement of
secondary school students in Biology in Umuahia North Local Government Area of
Abia State. Three research questions and two hypotheses guided the study and
the null hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance. A 16-. item
questionnaire was designed using the likert scale model and validated by two
experts in the unit of measurement and evaluation, College of agriculture and
science education. The reliability of the instrument was determined using
Cranach's coefficient alpha method and yielded a reliability coefficient of
0.72. Two hundred and nine five students drawn from a population of one
thousand two hundred and seventy three students were used for the study. The
results of the study revealed that school climate influenced secondary school
student's academic achievements in Biology. The study also showed that poorly
equipped science laboratory, school location and conducive learning environment
had influence on academic achievement in biology. Based on these findings, it
was recommended that adequate provisions of science laboratory should be made
for effective learning of biology in secondary schools.
