Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the students' performance in Senior Secondary Schools physics. Three secondary Schools were randomly sampled from secondary Schools within Ogbomoso metropolis. The Senior Schools Certificate Examinations (SSCE) results of sampled schools for nine years (1999-2007) were used for the data analysis. The results show that the performance in physics examination was deteriorating. One of the recommendations proffered was that the physics teacher should function as facilitators to assist the students to develop positive attitude towards the subject.
