    Cognitive Style as A Correlate of Senior Secondary School Students Achievement in Physics at Sokoto State, Nigeria
    (Faculty of Education and Teacher Training, State Islamic University Sulthan Thaha Saifuddin Jambi, 2021) Amuda A. A.; Akanbi A. O.
    This study examined cognitive style as a correlate of senior secondary school students’ achievement in physics in Sokoto State, Nigeria. This study adopted ex post facto research of the co-relational type. The population for the study was S. S. II students’ in Sokoto State. The sample consisted of seven hundred and thirty-one (731) senior secondary school students (SSS II) offering physics proportionately selected from senior secondary schools across the three senatorial districts in Sokoto State, Nigeria. Research instruments employed to elicit data for the study were the Students’ Cognitive style Inventory (SCSI), and Physics Achievement Test (PAT). Pearson-product moment correlation coefficients (PPMC), Fishers’ transformation (Z-test) statistic were employed to analyse data at .05 level of significance. The results revealed that there was no significant relationship between students’ cognitive style and their achievement in physics; there was no statistically significant difference in the strength of correlation between students’ cognitive style and their achievement in physics, based on gender amongst others. It was recommended that students should be trained on cognitive style to be able to predict correctly their achievement in physics.

    Consonance of General Mathematics and Physics: The Learners’ Achievement Symmetry
    (Nigerian Online Journal of Educational Sciences and Technology (NOJEST), 2020-10-15) Badmus O. T; Amuda A. A.; Bada A. A.
    The consonance and interrelatedness of mathematics and science Perdue in the parlance of scholars. Admittedly over the years, researchers have established mathematical components as germane in learning physics. The symmetry between these two subjects at the senior secondary school level may afford more answers than questions. This Ex post facto research traversed predictively, the consonance between students’ General Mathematics ability and their achievement in Physics. A purposive sampling technique was employed in the selection of 857 respondents in this study. Pro forma of students’ grade in General mathematics and Physics from West African Senior School Certificate Examinations (WASSCE) elicited data for the study. Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation and Multivariate Analysis of Variance tools inferenced four research hypotheses raised and succinctly answered. This study established symmetry in students’ General Mathematics ability and students’ achievement in Physics. Score levels, gender and school type were also pioneered to influence this prediction.
