dc.description.abstract | This study examined Study Habit, Motivation and Self-Efficacy as Determinants of Performance in chemistry among Senior Secondary School Students in Minna Niger State.The study adopted a correlational and ex-post facto research design. The population for the study was 3,365 senior secondary schools Chemistry Students in Minna, Niger State. Seven research questions were raised to guide the study and seven corresponding null hypotheses were formulated and tested at 0.05 level of significance.
