SCHOOL LOCATION AS THE DETERMINANT OF JOB SATISFACTION OF MUSIC TEACHERS AND JUNIOR SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS’ PERFORMANCE IN MUSIC IN SOUTH-SOUTH NIGERIA
ABSTRACT
This study was to examine the influence of school location on job satisfaction of musicteachers and junior secondary school students’ performance in music in South-South
Nigeria. The study adopted a descriptive design method. This study was undertaken in
South-South Nigeria. The population of the study consisted of all the music teachers in
public post primary schools in the four states in South-South Nigeria. The sampling
technique was used in selecting 150 music teachers from Urban and Rural settings in the
four states in South-South Nigeria. The main instrument for the study was a questionnaire
titled "School Location on Job Satisfaction of Music Teachers and Students’ Performance
in Music Questionnaire (SLJSMTSPMQ)". Reliability of the instrument deals with the
extent to which the result accruing from an instrument is stable and consistent. The
researcher conducted with administration of the questionnaire to all the 150 music
teachers selected for the study. Data gathered in the study through the use of
questionnaire (SLJSMTSPMQ), was analyzed with inferential statistic. This study
concluded that school location on the level of job satisfaction of music teachers in junior
secondary schools in South-South Nigeria have not been satisfied enough for high
performance. Job satisfaction of music teachers has immense contributions to the level of
their students’ performance in music. In terms of school’s location, the study has proven
that students in urban areas had better performances than their rural counterparts. In
other words, students in urban school locations have a very great advantage by learning
in an urban environment, which apparently enriches their academic performances in
music, despite the apparent disadvantage. One of the recommendations made was that
schools administrators should encourage students to study music irrespective of their
school location since school location does not affect performance when a positive
attitude towards the subject is inculcated.
