IMPACTS OF
PROBLEM SOLVING ON STUDENTS ACHIEVEMENT IN GENETICS
ABSTRACT
The study
investigated the Impacts of problem-solving and discussion teaching methods on
students? achievement across ability levels in genetics. The study adopted a
pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design with non-equivalent control group.
The sample for the study consisted of 122 senior secondary III biology
students. Purposive sampling was used to select four schools in Gombe education
zone. The instrument used for the study is the Genetics Achievement Test (GAT)
designed by the researcher. Section A of the instrument contained 20
multiple-choice items, section B contained 2 essay questions all for the
measurement of students? achievement in genetics. Four research questions and
four hypotheses were formulated to guide the study. The hypotheses were tested
at 0.05 level of significance. The data collected were analyzed using mean and
standard deviation and ANCOVA statistical tools. The results showed that
ability level of students significantly influence achievement in genetics. The
high ability students outperformed their medium and low ability students.
Gender was not a significant factor.
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
Background
of the Study
Science has
been regarded as the bedrock upon which the modern day technological
breakthrough is built. Countries all over the world, especially the developing
ones like Nigeria, are striving hard to develop technologically and scientifically.
Nwagbo in Usman (2010) explained science as an intellectual activity carried
out by humans, designed to discover information about the natural world in
which we live and to discover the ways in which this information can be
organized to benefit human race. According to Feynman (2011), science has
become such an indispensable tool that no nation, developed or developing,
wishing to progress in socio-economic sphere will afford to relegate the
learning of science in schools to the background. The Federal Republic of
Nigeria (FRN) in its National Policy on Education (FME, 2004:19) identified the
goals of science education to include:
?
Acquisition of knowledge, skills, inquiry and rational mind for conduct of good
life.
? Produce
scientist for national development
? Service
studies in technology and the cause of technological advancement
?
Understanding of the physical world, the forms and conduct of life and
? Provide
knowledge and understanding of the complexity of the physical world, the forms
and conduct of life.
Science
comprises the basic disciplines such as biology, chemistry, physics and
mathematics. The Federal Ministry of Education (FME, 2013) identified biology
among the
core-science
subjects offered at the Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE) level.,
Ramalingam, (2003) defined biology as one of the branches of science that
involves the study of living things ranging from microscopic cellular molecules
to the biosphere which encompasses the earth surface.
Importance
of biology as highlighted by Maduabum (2009:13) is stated as follows:
? helping
individuals to understand the parts of his/her body and their functions,
? enabling
one to question superstition due to sustained interest arising from
comprehension of the cause of events,
? understanding
and appreciating life,
? bringing
into focus the need to maintain good health,
? promoting
the individual for choice of careers,
? to
inculcate in the individual scientific skills and attitudes in his approach to
personal and societal problem,
? impart
factual knowledge and stimulate scientific reflective thinking so as to produce
a better informed individual.
In spite of
these enormous importance that biology provides, biology results in most
certified examinations like, Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE)
conducted by both the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) and the National
Examinations Council (NECO).
