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

Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of multimedia instructional materials in teaching basic science concepts to students with hearing impairment in Nasarawa State. Methodology/approach: The study used a questionnaire to collect responses from respondents. Sixty (60) students were sampled, and simple percentages, means, and standard deviations were used to analyze the findings. Results/Findings: The findings of the study showed that the use of multimedia is important, as many students with hearing impairment did understand what was taught. In addition, multimedia instructional materials aid student retention during examinations. When multimedia materials were used by the students, they were motivated by their use during science lessons. The respondents’ responses also identified many challenges facing the use of multimedia instructional materials in teaching science. Limitations: The scope of this study must be expanded. Contribution: This study shows the impact of multimedia instructional materials in teaching basic science concepts and effective  modern methods for students with hearing impairment. Recommendations: The study recommends that students at all levels of education should be given adequate information on the impact of multimedia instructional materials on the teaching of basic science to learners with hearing impairment in order to promote the interest of these students in science subjects.
