Effect Of Biology Practical Activities On Academic Achievement Of Senior Secondary School Students In Ikwuano L.G.A Of Abia State
ABSTRACT
The study investigated the effect
of Biology practical activities on academic achievement of senior secondary
school students in Ikwuano Local Government Area of Abia State. The study
adopted quasi-experimental design. A total of 70 students comprising 35
students each from 2 schools, took part in the study. Two research questions
and two hypotheses tested at .05 level of significance guided the study.
Biology Achievement Test, as the research instrument was developed, validated,
pilot tested and used for the study. The reliability was calculated using
Kudder-Richardson and was found to be 0.75. Mean and standard deviation was used
to answer the research questions, ANCOVA was used to test the hypotheses.
Findings revealed that practical activities are effective in improving academic
performance of students. However, rural school students performed better than
the urban school students when taught Biology using theory with practical and
theory alone respectively. Also, there is a significant difference between male
and female students taught biology using practical.
