Abstract

Cell Division topic in Biology is often challenging for students due to poor understanding. The study investigated how concept mapping impacts the retention of senior secondary school biology students in Kwara State, Nigeria. Using a quasi-experimental design with 77 students from two public junior high schools. The design is suitable due to its limitations, such as the inability to assign participants and the use of pre-existing groups randomly. Data was collected using Biology Concept Map Instructional Strategy for Teaching Cell Division and Biology Performing Test. The instruments were validated by experts and tested on 40 students. The results showed a significant difference in retention levels between male and female students when teaching Cell Division using this strategy (p0.05). It is recommended that Biology teachers prioritize the use of Computer-Machine Interfaces when teaching Cell Division, particularly for students with low retention and female students. The concept mapping instructional strategy significantly improves students' retention levels in Cell Division Biology, particularly among female students. It also indicates that gender is greatly influenced by this strategy, with females showing higher retention rates. Therefore, it suggests that using this approach in senior secondary school biology education can significantly enhance retention rates.

Abstract

The study examined the effect of concept mapping instructional strategy on senior secondary school students’ scoring levels in biology in Kwara State. A quasi-experimental research design of pretest, posttest, and control group was used. The target population was 852 Secondary School Students (SSS II) from two selected public senior secondary schools in Ilorin, Kwara State. The sample consisted of 80 Senior Secondary School II Biology students purposively selected from two Public Secondary Schools in Ilorin, Kwara State, Nigeria. The adapted Biology Concept Map Instructional Strategy for Teaching Cell Division (BCMISTCD) and Scores from the Biology Performance Test (BPT) were used for data collection. The instruments were duly validated by experts. The reliability of the Biology Performance Test (BPT) instrument was .83. Frequency count, percentage, mean and standard deviation to answer the research questions (1-2). Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) and T-test were used to test the null hypotheses 1-2 at 0.05 level of significance. Results show that there is a significant difference in the scoring levels of Biology students when concept mapping instructional strategy is used to teach Cell Division (p.<0.05). The study also indicates that there is a significant difference in the male and female students scoring levels when concept mapping instructional strategy is used to teach Cell Division (p.<0.05). Based on the results, the study concludes that there is a significant difference in the post-test and post-posttest scoring levels of the students when concept mapping instructional strategy is used to teach them. The study also concludes that male students’ scoring level is higher than that of female students when concept mapping instructional strategy is used to teach Cell Division. The study recommends that Biology teachers should teach female students who have low-scoring levels in Biology by using concept concept-mapping instructional strategy. This would further improve the female students’ scoring levels in the Cell Division. The study recommends that Biology teachers should focus more on female students when concept mapping is used to teach Cell Division.  Keywords: concept mapping, scoring levels, cell division, biology students, gender

Abstract

This study explores the awareness and utilization of Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) in enhancing chemistry education through Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in Nigerian universities. Using a descriptive survey design, data were collected from 182 chemistry education lecturers across six geopolitical zones. The study assessed lecturers’ levels of awareness, accessibility, usage, and extent of integration of ITS platforms. Results revealed moderate to high awareness and a generally positive perception of ITS's value in improving teaching and learning outcomes. However, disparities in accessibility, institutional infrastructure, and practical integration hinder widespread adoption. While many lecturers acknowledged the benefits of ITS, challenges such as inadequate resources, limited institutional support, and inconsistent usage patterns remain. The study underscores the need for targeted training, institutional support, and policy reforms to facilitate the seamless adoption of ITS in chemistry education. These efforts are essential to harness the transformative potential of AI and ICT in the Nigerian higher education system.

Abstract

The impact of ICT in counselling cannot be undermined, especially, in developed nations. However, there seems to be a low level of ICT adoption in counselling services delivery among professional counsellors in Nigeria particularly, in Kwara state. The study examines the perception and attitude of professional counsellors towards e-counselling services delivery in Kwara State, Nigeria and determines the influence of gender and length of practice on the respondents’ perception and attitude towards e-counselling. The survey research design was adopted in this study and the convenient sampling technique was used to select 400 respondents from an unknown population of professional counsellors in Kwara State. The self-structured “Perception and Attitude Towards Ecounselling Questionnaire” was validated by experts. The findings revealed that professional counsellors in Kwara State perceived both the benefits and challenges embedded in e-counselling services delivery and exhibited positive attitudes towards them. Gender disparity was found in the respondents’ attitude towards e-counselling but not in their perception; while length of practice influenced both the respondents’ perception and attitude towards e-counselling. It was concluded that professional counsellors in Kwara State perceived both the benefits and challenges embedded in e-counselling services delivery and exhibited positive attitudes towards them. It was recommended among others that government and counselling stakeholders should design e-counselling templates to strengthen the ethical codes and conduct towards e-counselling service delivery.
