ABSTRACT:
The study focused on parental child rearing practices and senior secondary school students’ academic performance in Agricultural science in Cross River State, Nigeria. One research question and hypothesis was formulated to guide the study, and relevant literature were reviewed. An ex-post facto research design was adopted, which made use of a sample of 2,960 senior secondary school students in public schools in Cross River State. Two (2) research instruments were employed to collect data namely; A 20-Item modified 4-likert scale questionnaire and (2) Test on Agricultural Science. The data analysis technique adopted was one – way analysis of variance (ANOVA). The hypothesis was tested at 0.05 level of significance, and the result revealed among others that, parental child rearing practice showed significant influence on senior secondary school students academic performance. The researchers recommended that parental/caregivers should be encouraged to adopt democratic style of child rearing practice than autocratic authoritarian or laisser-fair style.
