The influence of environment on student academic performance?

Answer 1

Many, many factors can affect academic performance, which means how a person does on schoolwork. The physical condition of the student has a great deal to do with that person's ability to do a good a good job on anything and to understand anything. For example, if the student has poor eyesight, he or she might not be able to read well. If the student has a hearing impairment, he or she might not be able to listen to and understand instructions. If the student has a disease, it might impair his or her ability to do the required work. A student's socio-economic status (SES) can affect his or her ability to perform well academically. Students with less money might not be able to purchase school supplies that could help them with their work -- rulers, paper, pens, computers, books, etc. Students with less money might not visit their doctors and dentists very often and might suffer from undiagnosed illnesses or dental problems that cause pain or otherwise impair the student's ability to perform well. Students with less money might have household responsibilities that wealthier students do not have -- babysitting for younger kids while the parents work second and third jobs, working for money outside of school, or spending homework time waiting in line for food at a food shelter. Low SES students might live in difficult conditions without electricity or water, and might have to go away from home to take a shower, brush their teeth, have breakfast, and wash their clothing. All these extra responsibilities can take time and make life difficult for low SES kids. On the other hand, wealthier students might have distractions that poorer kids do not experience -- games, sports, cars, pets might distract a well-off student from school work, so low SES conditions are not the only SES factors that can affect academic performance.

The school itself can have a huge effect on student academic performance. Good teachers, nice people, comfortable chairs, a violence- free classroom, a decent school lunch, support and help from friends, and a rich literary environment with plenty of books, computers, maps, laboratories, and other learning aids can help a student to perform well in school.

A student's strong will to learn and do well in school can affect academic performance immeasurably. A student who wants to do well and who works hard at doing well can usually succeed with practice and good feedback from teachers. A very strong determination to do well might be the most important factor in successful academic, and all other factors, in addition to expectations of the school and society, can bolster that basic will to succeed.

Answer 2

If a school student is performing less well than before, or less well than reasonably expected, this can be due to a number of causes. Some of these are:

• Poor eyesight. If the student can not see the board, he or she can not achieve to potential. This can become a problem if the student is now sitting farther from the board than previously.
• Poor hearing. The student may not be able to hear the teacher properly.
• School bullying. If the student is being bullied at school, this can affect academic performance.
• Problems at home. While not the most common problem, this can interfere with concentration.
• Excessive ambition can result in frustration, leading to a lack of trying. This can result from parental pressure.
• Lack of motivation. This is the opposite to excessive ambition. The child needs to understand the importance of good grades. An older child should begin to look forward to a future career and be able to connect good grades with the achievement of career ambitions.
• Puberty. Sometimes, hormonal changes can temporarily affect performance. So can emerging interest in the opposite sex, as can a lack of self esteem.

Answer 3

Parent pressure, peer pressure, social influence, mental strain(working too hard or relaxed too much), emotional strain (anger, annoyance, depression etc), stress (Parents: don't apply too much pressure or he may break down, also do no tell him about all your high expectations, just tell him to do and try his best.)

Or maybe a girlfriend or boyfriend. That ALWAYS muddles the mind of a teenager.

Answer 4

Students in secondary school may perform poorly in accounting because of the unfamiliarity of the subject matter. Another factor may be the lack of hard work, and lack of concentration. Every student should understand how to get the help they need before they are in danger of failing since the information builds on earlier exercises.
