Motivational factors such as the physiological factors, emotion, habit interest and incentives. As a result of this the study of assessment of motivational factors in public secondary schools and its influence on students academic performance worth pursing. It is hoped that the result of the study will provide evidence motivational factors will influence student academic performance.

Ajayi (2002) highlighted the problem of high rate of failure academically which is notable in term of poor performance i.e. in public examination and high rate student dropout.
However, in this project work, investigation concerned with motivational factors, how it can influence students academic performance. What impact motivational factors can take in teaching and learning if students are properly motivated would it change the performance of the student from bad to good?
1.3 Objectives of the Study
i. The objective of study therefore is summarized as follows. To find out what extent motivational factors influence the performance of public secondary schools.
ii. To find out the impact of motivational factors in teaching and learning process.
iii. To find out what extent does it makes teaching and learning an easy task to teachers and the learners.
iv. To find out what extent can motivational factors can be advantageous or disadvantageous to teaching and learning process.
1.4 Research Questions
An attempt is made to find answers to the following research questions.
1. To what extent can motivational factors influence the academic performance of the public secondary schools?
2. To what extent motivational factors have an impact on the academic performance of the public secondary schools?
3. To what extent does motivational factors makes teaching and learning an easy task?
4. To what extent can motivational factors have advantage or disadvantage to teaching and learning?
1.5 Research Hypotheses
i. Motivational factors will not significantly depend on academic performance of the public secondary school.
ii. Motivational factors will not significantly have impact on academic performance of the learners.
iii. Motivational factors will not significantly make teaching and learning and easy task.
iv. Motivational factors will not significantly have advantage or disadvantage to teaching and learning process.
1.6 Significance of the Study
This study will help the curriculum planners to know the important aspect of motivational factors in the teaching and learning in public secondary schools. This study will be of greater importance to both teacher and students also teacher will know that if students are motivated during teaching learning process, they will achieve their objectives and produce good skilled in public secondary schools. The study will help the student to realized that teaching and learning is an easy task.
1.7 Scope/Delimitation of the Study
The study covered some selected Lagos State Senior Secondary schools. In Ojo Local Government Area.
1.8 Limitation of the Study
The limitation of the study could be attributed to two main factors namely;
1. Financial Constraints: The study will be restricted to four (4) Senior Secondary Schools in Ojo Local Government Area.
2. Time Constraints: Time available for the study was limited and so it was fairly difficult to cover more than four (4) schools.
1.9 Definition of Terms
Assessment: It an opinion or a judgment of what has been thought.
Motivations: Is the process of arousing or attracting the interest of the individual to an activity.
Factors: This are thing that influence something e.g. environment.
