Meaningful instruction takes place only with the appropriate use of instructional materials, especially in their real form. Inability to have access to mammalian internal organs is one of the challenges in teaching some concepts in Biology. Lack of practical experience in the teaching and learning of Biology that leads to poor mastery of important scientific skills and concepts could be among those factors responsible for students’ poor performance in Biology. Hence, the need to design and develop the Model of Human Excretory System (MHES) to teach Biology concepts in secondary schools. The study was a developmental research design, ADDIE instructional system design model was adopted in the production and evaluation of the model. The development involved four out of the five stages of the ADDIE model. The adapted phases include ADDE; these are Analysis, Design, Development, and Evaluation. Findings of this study revealed that: The model of the human excretory system was successfully developed using four (ADDE) out of the five stages of the ADDIE model as a guide and the cost of developing the model of the human excretory system was determined and found to be cheaper through the use of locally sourced materials.

Instructional resources guarantee maximum value and effectiveness in the teaching and learning process. The instrument of instruction is communication which must be skillfully designed and developed if the objective of the instruction is to be accomplished. Models are a direct replica of real objects or figures. They are made in place of the original figure or object and used as such in place of the original. Inability to have access to mammalian internal organs is one of the challenges in teaching some concepts in Biology. Hence, we need to develop a 3-dimensional model of the human circulatory system to teach a concept in Biology. The findings revealed that the 3-dimensional automated model of the human circulatory system was successfully developed with materials sourced from the environment. Such materials include Plaster of Paris (POP), Top gum, White Cement, Car Paint (white), Acrylic Paint (Blue and Red), Tissue Paper, Binding Wire, Painting Brush, Silicon Gum, Sandpaper. This study recommended among others that management of secondary schools should make provision for the local 3-D model to be used as teaching aids for effective instructional delivery in their respective schools.

This study investigates the impact of integrating Ethno-STEM with project-based learning (PjBL) on enhancing creative thinking skills among secondary school students in Nigeria. Acknowledging the critical role of creativity in STEM education, the research addresses the gap between traditional teaching methods and the need for innovative approaches that foster creative thinking. Traditional STEM education, often characterized by rote memorization, has been criticized for not adequately preparing students to tackle real-world problems innovatively. The incorporation of Ethno-STEM into PjBL represents an avant-garde pedagogical strategy, aimed at bridging cultural knowledge with scientific inquiry, thereby making learning more relevant, engaging, and effective in developing creative problem-solvers. This quasi-experimental study, conducted over four months, involved 84 students divided equally into an experimental group, which experienced the Ethno-STEM integrated PjBL, and a control group, which continued with conventional curriculum. Creative thinking skills were assessed through pretests and posttests, focusing on fluency, flexibility, and originality. The results demonstrated a significant improvement in the creative thinking abilities of the experimental group compared to the control group, indicating that the Ethno-STEM integrated PjBL approach effectively enhances students' creative thinking skills. These findings underscore the potential of integrating cultural knowledge and project-based learning in STEM education to nurture innovation and creative problem-solving capabilities among students.

This study investigated the challenges facing online and physical classrooms in higher institutions. Descriptive research of the survey type was employed to achieve the purpose of this study. Students from five randomly selected faculties at the University of Ilorin, Nigeria made up the study target population. To choose the sample from each of the selected faculties, a proportionate sampling procedure was used. The actual sample size for the study was 200 Undergraduates, who were chosen using random selection techniques. Descriptive statistics of the mean score were used to analyze the information obtained from the respondents. The findings of this study show that students faced challenges while learning in both online and physical classrooms. It was concluded that despite the underlying similarities between online and physical classrooms, the two modalities are very different from one another. Online teaching is typically student-centered which necessitates active learning, in contrast to traditional classroom instruction, which has been known to be teachers-centered and calls for passive learning. It was a challenge for teachers to move from face-to-face in-class mode to virtual learning, changing their teaching methodologies, and managing their time. It was also a challenge to develop content that not only covers the curriculum but also engages the learners.
