Abstract
The study examined the predictive validity of mock examination scores on WASSCE examinations performance in Oyo State Schools of Science Technical drawing. Three hypotheses guided the study. Correlation and ex-post facto research designs using purposive sampling technique were used for the study. 137 final year students participated in the study. Mock and 2019-2021 May/June WASSCE examination computerized result sheets by WASSCE council were collected from the schools under study. The null hypotheses were tested at .05 level of significance using linear regression statistics. Result obtained indicated that students’ performance in mock examinations for the years 2019, 2020 and 2021 significantly predicts the students’ performance in WASSCE for each respective year. Premised on these, it was recommended among others that State Ministry of Education device means of encouraging students and teachers through the school administrators to see the contributions of mock examination as relevant and important tool for preparing them for success in WASSCE examination.
Abstrak
Kajian ini meneliti kesahihan ramalan markah peperiksaan percubaan terhadap prestasi peperiksaan WASSCE dalam mata pelajaran Lukisan Teknikal di Sekolah Sains Negeri Oyo. Tiga hipotesis menjadi panduan kajian ini. Reka bentuk penyelidikan korelasi dan ex-post facto menggunakan teknik persampelan bertujuan telah digunakan dalam kajian ini. Seramai 137 pelajar tahun akhir telah mengambil bahagian dalam kajian ini. Keputusan peperiksaan percubaan dan keputusan peperiksaan WASSCE Mei/Jun 2019–2021 yang telah dikomputerkan oleh majlis WASSCE telah dikumpulkan dari sekolah-sekolah yang dikaji. Hipotesis nol diuji pada aras signifikan .05 menggunakan statistik regresi linear. Keputusan yang diperoleh menunjukkan bahawa prestasi pelajar dalam peperiksaan percubaan bagi tahun 2019, 2020 dan 2021 secara signifikan meramalkan prestasi pelajar dalam WASSCE bagi setiap tahun tersebut. Berdasarkan dapatan ini, antara cadangan yang dikemukakan ialah agar Kementerian Pendidikan Negeri merangka cara untuk menggalakkan pelajar dan guru melalui pentadbir sekolah supaya melihat sumbangan peperiksaan percubaan sebagai alat yang relevan dan penting dalam mempersiapkan mereka untuk kejayaan dalam peperiksaan WASSCE.
