Abstract

The study investigated the influence of extrinsic and intrinsic motivation on pupils’ academic performance in mathematics. Based on the purpose of the study two hypotheses guided the study. The descriptive research design was adopted for the study. The population of the study consisted of all 3056 primary six pupils in Owerri Education zone of Imo State.  A Sample size of 200 primary six pupils was selected for the study.   Simple random sampling technique was used in selecting four schools out of the nine schools. The instruments used for data collection was Academic Motivation Scale and Mathematics Achievement Test. The validity was determined by two experts in measurement and evaluation and one expert in mathematics education. The instruments have reliability coefficient of 0.89 and 0.92 determined using tests-retest method. Data generated were analyzed with the aid SPSS version.  Inferential statistics of t-test and Pearson product moment correlation were used to test the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The study concludes that motivation improves academic performance of the pupils and there is a gender difference in motivation type and academic performance.

Abstract

The study investigated pupil’s achievement using virtual magic board manipulative in surface area. The quasi-experimental research approach of the pre-test-post-test non-equivalent control group design was adopted. Based on the objectives, two research questions and two hypotheses guided the study. The population comprises all primary six (6) pupils in all the private schools in Owerri Municipal Council of Imo state. A sample size of one hundred and sixty-four (164) pupils participated in the study using simple random sampling technique. The instrument used for data collection is researchers made Mathematics achievement test (MAT) that was validated by two expert’s judges from mathematics education and measurement and evaluation departments. The reliability of the instrument was determined using the Pearson Product Moment correlation method which yielded a value of 0.83. The data generated were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, t-test, and ANCOVA. The hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance. The results show that virtual magic board enhances primary school pupil’s achievement in a surface area and the enhancement does not significantly depend on gender. Based on the findings it is recommended that workshops and seminars should be organized for mathematics teachers on the virtual magic board.
