Investigating Students’ Academic Performance as Mediated by Students’ Academic Ambition and Effort in the Public Senior High Schools in Ashanti Mampong Municipality of Ghana | Chapter 14 | Selected Topics in Humanities and Social Sciences Vol. 7

 The goal of this study was to see how several critical variables in Ghana's Ashanti Mampong Municipality influence and mediate the academic performance of SHS students. Questionnaires were used to collect data, and descriptive and correlational research methodologies were used. A sample size of 571 pupils was obtained using a multi-stage sampling technique. The study's findings identified father's education, mother's education, the child's academic drive, and the child's effort as academic performance associates. Academic accomplishment is also influenced by the mother's education, the child's sex, the child's academic drive, and the child's effort, according to the data. The results once again failed to reject the null hypothesis. According to the findings, educational stakeholders should instil strong academic ambition in students, parents should ensure that a large percentage of their children's time is spent on their books, and they should be prepared to assist their children when the going gets tough.
