Abstract :
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused numerous changes in the global education sector, and school curricula have had to adapt to a non-face-to-face mode. On the other hand, international research has concluded that this modality has influenced students` academic performance. The current endeavour aimed to ascertain the extent of the variables influencing science learners` academic performance. The study used a descriptive research design, and the mean was used as the statistical tool to describe the factors influencing students` academic performance in science. Results showed that the level of instructional management was very high in the area of instructional strategies while high in the area of motivational skills and learning content efficacy. Moreover, the motivation and learning environment perceived by the students were high. Consequently, the proficiency level of Grade 9 students on performance in science in the aspect of Biology and Chemistry was very satisfactory.
