dc.description.abstractThis study investigated the School Plant and Family Background as Predictors of Achievement in Junior Secondary School Basic Science in Oyo State, Nigeria. Three research questions were raised and answered and two hypotheses were formulated and tested to guide the study. Study population include all junior secondary schools. Sample of 1000 students were used and data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, chi-square, regression and t-test statistics used. The research instrument for data collection were both questionnaire and Basic Science Achievement Test (BSAT). The Cronbach Alpha reliability estimate obtained was 0.76 for (SPFBQ) and KR20 of BSAT was 0.82. the results show that school plant variables are adequately available for used with grand mean of 2.77, 2.89, 2.70, level of availability of school plant variables and students family background status have significant impact on academic achievement of students in Basic Science with x2 =3650.0, p< 0.05 and x2=2298.81, p <0.05 respectively. Classroom facilities explained 33.5% relative contribution to students academic achievements. Also, parental educational explained 71.0% parental income explained 60.1% relative contribution to academic achievement of students. With exception of family size that had no relative significant contribution. Both school plant and family background variables accounted for 17.4% variations when taken together with (R2= .174 and F(2,998)= 7.511, P< 0.005). it was concluded that school plant variables for Basic Science teaching are adequately available. The school plant and family background variables used in this project have effects on academic achievement of students in Basic Science. It was recommended that education stakeholders should increase the availability of school plant facilities in schools and parents should note their educational status has effect on academic of students in school.
