The results showed that there was statistically significant difference between pre-test and posttest mean scores of students taught economics using class-wide peer tutoring. In addition, there was no significant difference between male and female slow learners taught economics using CWPT.Item Effect of Marzano instructional strategy on secondary school students’ academic performance in economics in Ilorin, Nigeria(Department of Social Sciences Education, University of Ilorin, Nigeria., 2019) Oyewunmi, Ibrahim; Yusuf, Hamdallat; Odutayo, Adesegun; Akintola, MubarakItem Effect of peer tutoring on students’ academic performance in economics in Ilorin South, Nigeria(University of Wollongong, Australia, 2017) Yusuf, Abdulraheem; Yusuf, Hamdallat; Odutayo, AdesegunItem Effects of computer- based cooperative learning strategy on the performance, achievement level and attitude of secondary school students in Minna, Nigeria(2016) Gambari, G; Shittu, T.; Yusuf, HamdallatThis study determined the effects of computer-based STAD cooperative learning strateg on the performance, achievement level and attitude ofsecondary school physics students in Minna, Nigeria. A quasi-experimental study using a non-randomized, non-equivalent, pre-test, post-test, control group design was adopted. The targetpopulationfor this study comprised all the senior secondary school class (SSSII) physics students in Niger State. Purposive sampling technique was used to select two senior secondary schools class two (SSS 11). The schools were assigned into Computer-based STAD and Individualized Computer Instruction (ICI) groups. A sample size of 84 physics studentsfrom two intact classes participated in the study. Computer-Assisted Learning Package (CALP) on physics was used as treatment instrument. Physics Achievement Test (PAT) was used as test instrument, while Physics Attitude Scale (PAS) was used to elicit response on students' attitude towards physics. PAT and PAS were pilot tested, the reliability coefficient of 0.90 and 0.86 were obtained using Kuder Richardson (KR-20) and (1<11-21) respectively. Analysis of Covariance and Scheffe test were used for data analysis. Findings indicated that students taught physics with computer-based STAD performed better than their counterparts in ICI. In addition, students in computer-based STAD group had positive attitude towards physics than those in ICI group. Furthermore, achievement levels had significant influence on their performance. Based on the findings, it was recommended among others that teachers should use computer-assisted STAD to improve students 'performance in some difficultphysics concepts.Item Effects of concept mapping on students’ academic performance in economics in Ilorin, Nigeria(Department of Educational Management, Faculty of Education, University of Ilorin, Ilorin, 2014-04-14) Yusuf, Hamdallat; Odutayo, Adesegun; Ambali, Titilayo; Omoragbon, AdesuwaItem Emotional intelligence of student-teachers in relation to their future productivity(African Educational Research Network, 2015) Yusuf, Hamdallat; Yusuf, Abdulraheem; Gambari, IsiakaItem Gender Differentials in the Use of Flipped Classroom Instructional Models in Enhancing Achievement and Retention in Oral-English Contents of Senior Secondary School in Minna, Niger State, Nigeria(Faculty of Education, Tanta University, Egypt, 2022) Kutigi, U; Yusuf, Mudasiru; Tukur, A; Yusuf, Hamdallat; Daramola, O; Abanikanda, OThis study investigated gender differentials in the use of flipped classroom instructional models in enhancing achievement and retention in Oral-English contents of senior secondary school in Minna, Niger state, Nigeria.
