CHAPTER ONE
1.1 Introduction
Business education is an aspect of vocational and technical education. It is a specialized programme of instruction designed to provide individuals with knowledge, skill, and attitude for occupational work and advancement. According to Gana and Abdulrahman (2017), business education is a wide field of discipline, which prepares individual with relevant and saleable skills for effective self and societal development. Courses offer in business education are developed to expose students to core areas like accounting, commerce and cooperative/distributive education and marketing, secretarial studies, agriculture, and home economics. According to Okwuanaso and Nwazor (2000), business education involves teaching students the fundamentals, theories, and processes of business and its related activities.
As a prelude to other parts of this study, this chapter will discuss the background upon which this study was initiated, the statement of problems that led to this study, the Aim and Objectives of the study. Others are Significance of the study, Scope of work, Research hypothesis and questions, Limitations of the Study and Definition of technical terms.
1.2 Background of Study
Academic result serves as feedback on the assessment of students’ performance on subject or course examination. Feedback that is both affirming and corrective is necessary for people to learn. Defined as information on the results of one's efforts, feedback that is clear, specific and timely motivates students to improve. Since feedback is most often connected to grading that follows assigned work or assessment activities, Walvoord and Anderson , say that:
grading "...encompasses tailoring the test or assignment to the learning goals of the course...offering feedback so students can develop as thinkers and writers, communicating about students' learning to appropriate audiences, and using results to plan improvements in the classroom..."
Thus assessment provides feedback for both learners and teachers. Conversely, the absence of prompt useful feedback reduces interest in learning. When instructors provide students with prompt feedback followed by discussion of incorrect responses, they are using one of the most powerful predictors of positive student outcomes. Walberg's meta-analysis of studies of educational interventions that had the greatest impact on student achievement in K-12 classrooms, found that instruction that incorporated feedback and correctives was one of most potent A few years later, higher education began focusing on giving prompt feedback as one of its "Seven principles for good practice in undergraduate education". The authors explain, "Knowing what you know and don't know focuses learning. Students need appropriate feedback on performance to benefit from courses”. Most recently, study of the human brain suggests that we are biologically wired to seek and use feedback
It is imperative to note that if students are to benefit from feedback; it must not only be timely and frequent, but also useful for improving performance by addressing three areas: what students did well, what students need to improve on, and how to make this improvement. Feedback can take a variety of forms: formative, summative, individual, group, written, coded comments, and charts and rubrics of essential characteristics of assignments. Although giving detailed feedback is important, it may be even more important to give it in a timely manner . However it is pertinent as well to encourage students to carefully read and use feedback. The research intends to provide analysis of timely release of result and its effect on academic performance of student in business education.
Therefore, in Nigeria where the research was carried out, the activities that was conducted is to appraise the Timely Release of Result and Academic Performance of Student in Business Education.
