| dc.description.abstract | Despite the importance of early childhood and primary education, there is a gap between the quality and the number of teachers and the practice of early childhood education. One research question and three hypotheses were generated and tested in this study, the research question were answered using frequency count, percentage and mean independent samples t-test and PPMC were used to test the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The study employed the Correlational Survey Research Design. The study sample size was 248 and Multi-Stage Sampling Technique was adopted to select respondents. The instruments used for data collection were questionnaire titled 'Mode of Entry of Pre-Service Teachers Performance Questionnaire (MEAPTPQ) and Pre-service Teachers Academic Performance results (PTAPR).The reliability of MEAPTPQ is 0.77. The findings revealed that there was significant positive relationship between mode of entry and academic performance of pre-service teachers (r = 0.257; P < 0.05). The hypothesis is therefore rejected, another findings revealed that there was positive relationship between the academic performance of early childhood and primary education pre-service teachers and their attitudes to the subject in the universities (r = .301; df = 246; .P< 0.05). The hypothesis is therefore rejected.
