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.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of cognitive skill instruction on pupils with mild intellectual disability retention in spelling exercises, retaining poems, and letter recognition. Research methodology: Research questions and hypotheses were formulated as a part of the methodology. This study used a non-equivalent pre-test, post-test, experimental, and control group design. Working memory is the cognitive skill chosen by the researchers. Flash cards, 100 frequency words, and the working rating scale were used to measure working memory in order to examine the cognitive skills of retention of pupils with mild intellectual disability. The study included ten (10) pupils. While the other five pupils comprised the control group, they did not receive any intervention strategy. Five of the ten pupils were in the experimental group and received an intervention package. The instrument was reliable with a reliability index of 0.85 and was valid for its intended use in measuring the required area. Six weeks were spent on the treatment. The t-test for independent samples was used to examine the treatment results. Results: The study's findings showed that parents had an impact on their children's cognitive development and abilities, and special educators had a significant impact on a child's ability to remain in school. Limitations: The researchers suggest that cognitive skill instruction should be implemented in educational settings. Contribution: This research will provide special educators, parents, and the government with information on how well cognitive skills can help students with mild intellectual disability retain information.
