Item Effect of Video-Assisted Instructional Package on Secondary School Students’ Achievement in Photosynthesis in Omu-Aran, Nigeria(University of Cape Coast, 2024) Olarewaju, Ibukun. O; Afolabi Kayode Ojo; Abidoye, Florence Omosholape; Adesanya, Emmanuel. OPhotosynthesis has been identified as a difficult biology topic for students due to their inability to visualize the stages and experimental procedures associated with it. Therefore, this study investigated the effects of video-assisted instruction on senior secondary school students' achievement in photosynthesis in Omu-Aran, Nigeria. The study investigated whether or not there will be gains in students’ achievement in photosynthesis when taught using video-assisted instruction, and the interaction effect of gender and cognitive style on the achievement. The study was a quasi-experimental research. The sample for the study was 109 and consisted male and female students from two co-educational schools. Two tests (pre- and post-) designed by the researchers were validated by three lecturers in science education. The instruments were found to have a high reliability as the reliability index obtained was 0.72. Data were analyzed using t-test and Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) at 0.05 level of significance. The findings of the study revealed that video-assisted instructional package improved students’ academic achievement in photosynthesis. Also, gender and cognitive style were observed to have no effect on students’ achievement when taught photosynthesis using the package and there were no interaction effects among the cognitive style and gender categories on achievement in photosynthesis. The study concluded that the use of video assisted instructional package was effective in improving the achievement of students in photosynthesis irrespective of gender and their cognitive style. Based on the findings of the study, Biology teachers should be encouraged to use video-assisted instructional package for teaching photosynthesis in senior secondary schools to improve learning outcomes.Item Impact of Biology Teachers on the Students’ Performance in Senior Secondary Schools in Osun State, Nigeria(Journal Plus Education, 2023) Abidoye, Florence Omosholape; Abidoye, Adekunle Omotayo; Afolabi Kayode OjoThis study examined the Biology teachers’ impact on the performance of students in secondary schools in Osun State, Nigeria. This study sample included forty-eight (48) Secondary Schools selected by random sampling technique. The researcher designed teachers’ questionnaire which were administered to one hundred forty-five (145) Biology teachers. Researcher-designed validated questionnaire was used to elicit information from the respondents on the impact of biology teachers to the performance of students. Three research questions and two research hypotheses were formulated. Frequency counts and t-test statistics were used to analysis the data collected. Finding of this study revealed that Biology teachers’ impact to teaching in Secondary Schools was significant based on gender but it was not significant based on years of teaching experience. Based on the research findings recommendations were made on how the Biology teachers will have positive impact on students’ performance in senior secondary schools among others.Item Problems and Prospects of Agricultural Education in Nigeria: Methods of Teaching Science, Basic Technology and Computer Studies in Nigerian Secondary Schools(Published by Department of Science Education, Faculty of Education ,University of Ilorin, Ilorin, Nigeria., 2016) Afolabi Kayode Ojo
