Abstract

The purpose of this study is to identify and analyze the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) using Childhood Autistic Rating Scale (CARS). This research was also conducted as an effort to carry out placement and intervention in special schools. Samples of this study is 52 subjects randomly selected from the population of 138 were used to rate their behaviours using the CARS. Method that used in this study is cross-categorical survey (descriptive research). This is a survey that studies a group of sample in order to identify traits of such group. With the use of statistical data of chi-square, scores collected from the participants revealed that there was no significant difference in the scores or ratings. Also, the result obtained from the use of t-test indicated that the instrument significantly differentiate ASDs traits from Non-ASDs. The findings in this study prompted a suggestion that special schools, centres, homes etc should get this valid instrument handy for the purpose of identifying autistic traits in school children for correct placement and intervention.

Abstract

This study investigated into effects of science learning materials on performance and retention of biology concepts among senior secondary school two students in Afijio local government area of Oyo State. The study was Quasi-experimental involving pretest, posttest equivalent group design. In this design, 40 students were randomly selected from SS2, pretested to ascertain their group equivalence, and then divided into two groups (experimental and control) using the lottery method of sampling techniques. The experimental group was taught biology concepts with science learning materials,while the control group was taught the same concepts without science learning materialsfor three weeks. The two groups were pretested and post-tested for performance and retention, respectively. The data collected were analyzed using a simple percentage method, mean, and standard deviation. Based on the data generated and results obtained from the experiment, the findings revealed that the use of science learning materialsin the leaching of Biology concepts significantly improves the academic performances, enhances the retention ability of students involved in the study. The study also revealed that students exposed to the use of science learning materialsin the teaching of biology concepts generally had better academic performances and retention ability than students who were not exposed to the use of science learning materialsin the experiment. The study recommended, among others, that the Ministry of Education should provide science learning materials for effective teaching and learning of Biology concepts in Oyo State Senior Secondary Schools. Keywoard: Science Learning Performance, Retention, Biology Concepts
