DISCUSSION
THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN STUDENTS PERFORMANCE
IN RURAL AND URBAN AREAS
Recent educational research has examined rural and urban
differences in their achievement. Many educators, researchers,
legislators and the general public believe that students from rural
schools mostly receive an education that is inferior compared to
the students that live in urban areas. Students background also
impact on their performance where we can see that many of the
students that lives in rural areas has low academic achievement
when we compared it with the students that lives in urban areas.
There are many factors that cause to the gap performance between
students in rural and urban areas. Students in urban schools get
many excess compared to students in rural schools.
The excellent performance of urban students is because of their
better quality in their education, availability of the information that
they get from various sources like mass media and electronic
media, their educated families and peers groups which help them
for better performance. They have many advantages and facilities
in their education compared to rural students. Students in rural
areas less exposed to the outside world and also lack of knowledge
about the currents issues that happen.
Education is proving to be effective instrument that can raise
students’ self-belief, forethought, self-esteem and self-efficacy.
Students that lives in undeveloped village must try to attain the best
education for them and do not make their living environment as
one of the factors that be a barrier in their success. We also can
see that students in rural areas are much less likely to earn a
college degree than students of urban areas.
WAYS TO ADDRESS THE ACHIEVEMENT GAP DIFFERENCES
BETWEEN RURAL AND STUDENTS
In order to overcome the differences performance between students
in rural and urban areas, several ways should be taken.
CONCLUSION
The study presented the differences of performances between
students in rural and urban areas. Rural and urban schools are
characterized by its unique strength and weaknesses. “Rural and
urban schools are much the same when it comes to resources and
learning environments.Yet there are many variables that affect
students’ achievement and those variables are directly related to
whether a school is considered a rural or an urban school. Some
factors that contribute to the gap performances between students in
these two areas were determined and also recommendations in
order to overcome this problem were suggested. Although some
recommendations have been highlighted, solutions might not be
easy for them. The suggestions for improving the performance
among rural students is that they must understand their
environment properly, and maintain their inner resources like self-
efficacy and self-esteem. From this study we can conclude that,
there have differences between students performance in rural and
urban schools. Students that lives in urban area will get high
performance excel opportunities provided by their location. Urban
students have greater access to many resources and therefore have
opportunities that are not easily accessible to rural students.
Besides that urban parents were more professional and they realize
the advantage of education. Parents of rural students were less
likely to expect their children to advance their education.
