This study evaluated the effectiveness of interactive engagement pedagogy, specifically, cooperative learning pedagogy in improving students' academic achievement and academic self-concept in chemistry. A pre-test, post-test, non-equivalent, control group quasi-experimental design was adopted. The study was in senior secondary schools in one of…

Biology is a core and required science subject offered at the upper secondary school level in the Nigerian educational system. However, students' attitude towards the subject is poor, a trend probably due to the use of teacher-centred educational strategies. Scholars have thus advocated for the need to adopt innovative educational strategies to…

Due to rapid technological advancement that continues to permeate almost all facets of the education sector, video learning has been explored to enhance performance, but most researchers do not incorporate flipped classroom in mathematical videos, which affects the teaching and learning of the subject in Nigeria. This study checked the…

Education is changing rapidly. Schools are gradually shifting away from the traditional mode of instruction and toward a more active model of learning, in which students are collaborating on projects in small groups and then sharing their work with the class. Africa cannot afford to be left behind in this change. Though collaborative teaching and…

The study investigates the effects of Learning-By-Doing Instructional Strategy (LBDIS) and parents' education in determining secondary school students' attitude towards agricultural science. The research design adopted was a pre-test, post-test, non-randomized control group quasi-experimental design involving 2×2 factorial matrix. The sample…

Introduction: Persistent abysmal academic achievement among adolescents in Nigerian secondary schools has become a concern among stakeholders in the Nigerian system of education. This, over time, has been linked to poor reading culture and reading skills, worsened by unproductive instructional approaches adopted by teachers for reading…

Democratic classroom practices are all strategies adopted by classroom teachers to actively engage students in the learning processes. Considerable literature assessing influence of Civic Education on youths' active participation in a democratic society exists. Not much have reported an empirically conducted study on classroom best practices…

The study investigated the reported regressive performances of students in spatial reasoning concepts with a view to promote early spatial reasoning of lower primary school pupils across ability levels and sex. Non-equivalent experimental research design was employed. A hundred and five (105) pupils in four intact classes were exposed to six weeks…

The study investigated the effect of two cooperative learning strategies (the student teams-achievement divisions and think-pair-share methods) on students' interest in reading comprehension. Seventy-eight senior secondary II students were randomly selected from three schools in Vandeikya Local Government Area, Benue State, Nigeria. A…

Research and academia have been recently affected by the Coronavirus (COVID-19), and physical classrooms and laboratory experiments have been affected significantly due to the recent laboratory closures. This has led to innovative approaches to curb this problem. To address these difficulties in teaching bioengineering related courses that is of…

The concept of blending mobile learning and cloud computing (cloud-based m-learning) is potentially a strong fit for higher education in developing countries with inadequate infrastructure. Notwithstanding the potential benefits, while a substantial number of theoretical studies exist, there are limited studies focusing on the practical…

This paper sought to look at collaboration as an effective tool for mathematics classroom instruction. Four preservice teachers in a qualitative case study taught mathematics to three senior secondary school classes in two secondary schools in Northern Nigeria for a period of 15 weeks spread over three years. During this period 12 students…

This paper is a deliberate effort aiming at sensitising teachers, students, parents and other stakeholders on the basic objectives of civic education in its introduction into senior secondary school curriculum and the need to obtain full potentials for constructivist theory in teaching and learning of the relatively new subject. The introduction…

This study assessed the efficacies of cooperative learning instructional approach (CLIA), learning activity package (LAP), and lecture method (LM) on enhancing students' academic retention in chemistry. Three research questions and three hypotheses guided this quasi-experimental study. The sample for the study was 194 students drawn from three…

The discussion and debate on integrating social media into the formal education remain largely speculative rather than well informed and certain. Only limited studies and mainly from developed nations attempted to describe specific learning gains and benefits of social media as a formal tool in the learning environment. Studies that attempt to…
