Text of Note
The research study examined learning approaches and classroom management techniques as determinants of undergraduate students' academic performance in business education in tertiary institutions in Adamawa State, Nigeria. The study stated four specific purposes, from which four research questions and four null hypotheses were formulated to guide the study. The study adopted descriptive research design. The population of the study consisted of 236business education students and 38 business education lecturers from tertiary institutions inAdamawa. There was no sampling as the total population was used for the study. The instrument for data collection was a 53-item structured questionnaire validated by three experts.A pilot test was conducted at Ramat Polytechnic Maiduguri, Borno Stateon 20business education lecturers and 20students offering business education. Using Cronbachalpha method, a reliability coefficient of 0.96 was obtained. Research questions were answered using mean and standard deviation while the hypotheses were tested using linear regression analysis at 0.05 level of significance. The results of the study revealed that deep learning approach and lecturer-student relationship determined students' academic performance in business education in tertiary institutions inAdamawa. It was concluded that the poor interaction and interpersonal relationship that existed between the lecturers' and students' contributed to poor students' academic performance in business education in tertiary institutions inAdamawa State. Among the recommendations made was that thegovernment should ensure that policy makers in the education sectordevise more ways in the school system that will facilitate internal school arrangements for instructors to get involved in useful interactions and mentoring of students besides just giving academic instructions.
