ABSTRACT
The study examined the "causes of student's academic failures" with the
objectives of finding the causes of student's academic failures in secondary
schools and find out the possible solutions to curb or eliminate this problem.
The researcher used sample random method to collect information from various
respondents in Mashuuru division, Kajiado district in Kenya. The researcher used
descriptive survey design with the aim of collecting information from respondents
on their opinion in relation to student's academic failures in Mashuuru division,
Kenya.
The study found out that three factors are the most contributors for student's
academic failures. Namely parents/ family causal factors, teachers/academic
causal factors and the students/ personal causal factors; implying that these
three parties are not joining their efforts together to produce better results.
Conclusively Both students and teachers agreed positively to a significant degree
on poor study habits, lack of personal discipline, and to some extent absence,
emotional disturbance, lack _of capacity necessary for high school works as
indicators of failures. Moreover, form one to form three high school subjects that
revealed the most number of failures were in Mathematics, chemistry, physics
and in English areas of learning.
This study recommended that Teachers should widen students' awareness of the
advantages one can get from attending classes regularly and studying his
lessons habitually. In addition, Parent attitudes toward underperforming gifted
children should be positive to impact motivation.
