Broken Homes and Intact Homes Students’ Academic Attainment in Mathematics in the Kasena-Nankana Municipality, Ghana
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Students’ academic attainment in mathematics can be influenced by several factors including the structure of student’s home. This study was therefore conducted to compare the academic achievement of students from intact homes and their colleagues from broken homes in mathematics in the Kasena-Nankana Municipality, Ghana. The study embraced a survey design using 26 students from broken homes who were purposely and conveniently selected and 26 students from intact homes selected using simple random sampling technique. The study relied on secondary data (mathematics scores from students report cards) and the data was analysed using independent sample t-test. The test results revealed a significant difference in mean scores between the two groups of students and this difference was in favour of the students from intact homes suggesting that students from broken homes performed poorly compared to those from intact homes. The finding implied that, family structure (broken or intact) is a factor that should not be undermined when looking at students’ performances in mathematics. The study concluded that broken home has a negative impact on basic school students’ academic achievement in mathematics.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
