    (Lead City University, Ibadan, 2023-12) Moses Bamidele AKINLOYE
    The study examined the influence of Classroom Management Practices and Teaching Methods on the Academic Achievement of Secondary School Students in Mathematics in Oyo Town, Oyo State. The study was based on the Theory of Planned Behavior and Theory of Reasoned Action. The descriptive survey research design was adopted for this study. The sample size was 2185 students, using a multi-stage sampling technique. A modified questionnaire was used as the research instrument with a reliability coefficient of 0.86. The results showed that the secondary school students' average academic achievement in mathematics in Oyo Town was low (X̄=2.35). The majority of teachers used Teacher- centered methods (weighted mean=3.18), while student-centered (weighted mean=1.99) and teacher-student interactive (weighted mean=1.97) methods were used less. The results also indicated that Classroom Management Practices and Teaching Methods have a significant influence on Academic Achievement in mathematics (R 2= 0.413, F= 190.74, p<0.05). Where R 2 is the coefficient of influence, together they contribute or determine 41.3% of student Achievement in Mathematics. Classroom rules (41.7% or 0.417), teacher-student interaction method (35.0% or 0.318) and classroom design (31.8% or 0.318) had major influence while student centred (19.5% or 0.195), teacher centred (9.5% or 0.095) and discipline (2.5% or0.025) had lesser influence. Male students (=2.33, Std=0.979, p<0.05) had higher achievement compared to female students (=2.13, Std=0.828, p<0.05). The study concluded that teacher-centered methods are mostly used to teach M athematics, and classroom rules have the most significant influence on students' academic achievement. Classroom Management Practices and Teaching Methods have a significant influence on students' Academic Achievement in mathematics in Oyo Town. The study recommended that teachers adopt teacher-student interaction and that there should be provisions made for workshops on classroom management practices to improve learning.
