It also examined the relative influence of each of teachers’ professionalism, class size and instructional materials on lower primary school pupils’ performance in Social Studies and finally examined the combined influence of teachers’ professionalism, class size and instructional materials on lower primary school pupils’ performance in Social Studies. These were with the view of providing information on how the influence of each of teachers’ professionalism, class size and instructional materials could bring about improved performance in Social Studies among lower primary school pupils in Osun State. The study employed descriptive survey design. The target population comprised the public lower primary school pupils and their teachers in Ife East Local Government area of Osun State. The sample size comprised 400 pupils and 40 Social Studies teachers. Ten lower primary schools were selected in the local government area using simple random technique. From each of the schools, forty (40) pupils from primary three were selected, using simple random sampling technique while four teachers were purposively selected from each school, based on the fact that they were Social Studies teachers. Three instruments were developed, validated and used for the study. One research question was raised and answered and two hypotheses were tested and verified. Data collected were analysed using Frequency Counts, Percentages, Bar Charts and Multiple Regression. The result showed that lower primary school pupils demonstrated moderate performance (57%) in Social studies. The result also showed that teachers’ professionalism (t=2.653, β=.349, p=.012) class size (t= 2.439, β=0.271, p=0.020) and instructional materials (t= -3.912, β=-.419, p=.000) had significant influence on pupils’ performance in Social Studies. Finally, there was significant influence of teachers’ professionalism, class size and instructional materials on lower primary school pupils’ performance in Social Studies (t= 33.391, P<0.05). The study concluded that teachers’ professionalism has a significant relative influence on the academic performance of Social Studies of lower primary school pupils. Similarly there was a significant relative influence of instructional materials on the academic performance in Social Studies of lower primary school pupils. Also, class size has a significant relative influence on the academic performance of Social Studies of lower primary school pupils. This means that Teachers’ professionalism, class size and instructional materials had a significant influence on pupils’ performance in the study. Conclusively, there was significant influence of the independent variables (teacher’s professionalism, class size and instructional materials) on the pupils’ performance in Social Studies. 2023-05-13T17:58:38Z 2023-05-13T17:58:38Z 2019 Thesis Jubril,G.O.(2019).Influence of teacher's professionalism,Class size and instructional materials on lower primary school pupil's performance in social studies in ile_ife.Obafemi Awolowo University. https://ir.oauife.edu.ng/123456789/5568 en application/pdf Obafemi Awolowo University
