ABSTRACT
The study investigated the impact of parents' socio-economic status on the attitudes of senior secondary school students toward learning in Ovia North-East. It examined the influence of parental income, occupation, and educational background on student attitudes. One hundred and seventy-five students participated in the research, and the study drew on existing literature to frame the investigation. Data were collected through questionnaires administered to the students, and the analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics. The sampling technique employed was stratified random sampling. The findings revealed that students felt the teaching methods aligned with their learning preferences and that teamwork improved their skills. The results further indicated that parental occupation, income, and education affected various aspects of the learning process.
The study confirmed that parents' socio-economic status played a significant role in shaping students' attitudes toward learning. The analysis demonstrated that clear lesson explanations, opportunities for teamwork, and the influence of parental factors contributed to student engagement and a positive learning environment. Based on these findings, recommendations were made to design lesson plans that addressed diverse learning styles, provide teacher training on effective lesson organization, involve parents in educational programs, and develop initiatives that connected academic challenges with personal growth.
