Item EFFECTS OF CONCEPT MAPPING INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGY ON SENIOR SECONDARY SCHOOL PHYSICS STUDENTS' PERFORMANCE IN ILORIN WEST OF NIGERIA IN A DEPRESSED ECONOMY(Department of Science and Technology Education, Bayero University, Kano, Nigeria., 2018) Salman A. A.; Quadri Y.; Akanbi A. O.; Adebisi N. A.The study investigated the effects of concept mapping instructional strategy (CMIS) on senior secondary school students' performance in physics in Ilorin west, Nigeria. Two research questions raised were answered and two hypotheses tested at the 0.05level of significance guided the study. The design of the study was a 2 x 2 pretest, posttest quasi experimental, nonequivalent, non-randomized control group design with 178 senior secondary students selected purposively from four senior secondary schools in Ilorin west, Kwara State, Nigeria. Instrument used for data collection was Physics Performance Test (PPT) adapted from West African Senior School Certificate Examinations (WASSCE) questions. The instrument was validated by two experts and two other teachers teaching physics at senior secondary school. A test-retest method was used to ascertain the reliability and Pearson product-moment correlation was used to obtain a reliability coefficient index of 0.72.The treatment for the study lasted for one week and data collected were analyzed using t-test and Analysis of Covariance. The result revealed that, concept mapping instructional strategy significantly improved students' performance in physics. Furthermore, there was no significant difference between male and female students in the experimental group. It was recommended that, teachers should make the teaching of physics more interactive by using concept mapping instructional strategy in order to improve performance of students consequently empower with educational economic independence.Item Effects of the Use of Vee-diagram on Senior School Students' Performance in Physics in Ilorin, Nigeria(Curriculum Organization of Nigeria, 2018) Akanbi A. O.; Salman A. A.The present study used Vee-diagram as an instructional tool in classroom settings. The objectives of this study were to: (i) determine the effect of the use of Vee-diagram on students' performance in Boyle's law; (ii) examine the influence of performance levels on students when taught Boyle's law using Vee-diagram and (iii) determine the interaction effect of performance level on students' performance in Boyle's law. The study was a 2 x 3 pretest. posttest, quasi experimental, non-equivalent and non-randomized control group design. It inolved 77 senior secondary school two students in llorin, Kwara State. Nigeria. A researcher-designed Physics Metacognitive Conceptual Understanding Performance Test (PMCUPT) was used to collect data for the study. Mean gain scores were used to answer the three research questions raised in the study. t-test analysis was used to test hypothesis one and three. Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) was employed to test hypothesis two formulated for the study. Major findings of the study showed that there was a significant difference in the performance of physics students exposed to Vee-diagram and those who were not exposed to Vee-diagram, there was a significant difference in the performance of physics students taught Boyle's law using Vee-diagram based on performance levels and there was no significant interaction effect of Vee-diagram on students' performance level when taught Boyle's law.Item Rural Information Provision for National Development: A Study of Kwara North Senatorial District of Kwara State(Pacific North Library Association (America), 2012) Issa, A.
