Abstract

The aim of the study was to investigate the influence of infrastructural development on teaching and learning process towards enhancing secondary school students’ academic performance in Olorunda Local Government Area of Osun State, Nigeria. The study was guided by two research questions in which one of the research question was that, does school building have any influence on teaching and learning process towards enhancing secondary school students’ academic performance in Olorunda Local Government Area of Osun State, Nigeria? The design used in the study was descriptive survey research design. The population for this study was approximately 1,500 teachers from all the state-owned secondary schools in Olorunda Local Government Area. The study used a sample size of 150 which was 10% of the entire population of the study and employed a simple random sampling technique. The instrument used in the study was questionnaire. Using Cronbach Alpha, a reliability coefficient value of 0.88 was obtained. The study used the mean and standard deviation to respond to the two research questions formulated in the study. The finding of the study revealed that school building has a significant influence towards enhancing students’ academic performance. Also, the study found out that library facilities have a significant influence towards enhancing students` academic performance. The study concluded that office for staff, reading room for students, dining hall for students, classrooms space for teaching students, common rooms for teachers, halls for exams, classroom management, and teaching in a multicultural setting influences secondary school students` academic performance. The implication of the study is that if government continues to fail in providing building and library facilities to schools, the academic performance of learners will continue to drop. The study recommended that Osun State government should ensure that adequate classrooms are built in all the secondary schools in Olorunda Local Government Area of Osun State, Nigeria.
