Abstract
This study investigated the relative and combined influences of parental involvement and interest in schooling on science achievement of selected Junior Secondary School students in Ogun State, Nigeria. Twelve secondary schools were selected from the four administrative divisions of the State. A sample of 360 students participated in the study and three instruments were used to collect data. The combined influence of parental involvement and interest in schooling accounted for 7.3% of the total variance in science achievement (R Square = 0.073, p<0.05), which is a significant percentage. There was a significant relationship between parental involvement and science achievement (r=+0.167, p<0.05) as well as between interest in schooling and science achievement (r=+0.253, p<0.05). Parents, teachers, and counselors should provide a stimulating learning environment in order to sustain students’ interest in school.
