| dc.description.abstract | The study comprised of 240 students, experiments 124 students and 12 physics teachers selected by multistage random sample from twelve senior secondary schools in Ilorin, Nigeria. This study was carried out to examine the impact of guided discovery method (G.D.M) on interest and academic achievement of senior school students in physics (the backbone of technology). The influence of age, location and gender on the interest and achievement of SS One students taught using G.D.M was also examined. Four research questions and null hypotheses were generated and formulated to guide the study. Quasi experimental design using questionnaire technique was adopted. Kuder Richardson formula 21 was used to determine internal consistency of the instruments (PAT and PIIS). The reliability coefficient of .79 and .64 were obtained. The mean score was used to answer research questions and hypotheses tested using ANCOVA statistics at .05 level of significance. When physics were taught using G.D.M, gender or age was not a significant factor of students’ overall achievement, but this method has a significant impact on students’ interest in physics. Recommendations were suggested that the policy makers and curriculum planners should not only elucidate those effective teaching methods or approaches to be used, but they should monitor their implementation as well among others. | en_US |
