Abstract

This study investigated the impact of noise pollution on the academic achievement of biology students in senior secondary schools within Owerri Municipal Council, Imo State. The research aimed to assess the extent of noise pollution faced by these students, identify its sources, and evaluate its effects on their academic performance. Employing a survey design and simple random sampling, the study focused on biology teachers and students from selected senior secondary schools in the area. Out of a sample of 200 respondents, 150 were validated. Data was collected using a self-constructed, validated questionnaire and analyzed with frequency tables, while hypotheses were tested using Pearson Correlation through SPSS v23. Findings indicated that noise pollution levels in Owerri Municipal Council are high and have a detrimental effect on students’ academic performance, reducing concentration, impairing cognitive development, and decreasing memory retention. The study recommends that government and school authorities collaborate on implementing noise control measures, such as installing sound barriers, double-glazed windows, and noise-absorbing materials in classrooms, to mitigate these effects.
