Abstract

The low learning outcomes of students caused by the underutilization of science laboratory facilities in some Kwara State Upper Basic Schools need to reveal. Thus, this research aimed 1) to analyze the effect of science laboratory utilization by the teachers and their experience on the students' learning outcomes, 2) to analyze the effect of science laboratory utilization by male and female teachers on the students learning outcomes, and 3) to analyze the effect of science laboratory utilization by experienced teachers to the students' learning outcomes. It is ex post facto research with multiple linear regression analysis due to its two independent variables. This research took both public and private upper primary school teachers in Kwara State, Nigeria, as the population. Forty-seven Public and Private Upper Basic Schools in all parts of the state are taken as samples randomly in this research. There were 100 basic science teachers taken as respondents. This research reported that 1) teachers’ utilization of science laboratory based on gender and experience in teaching science simultaneously influence students' learning outcomes with value Sig. 0,00 < 0,05, 2) the utilization of the science laboratory by the male and female teachers did not significantly influence the students' learning outcomes, with value Sig. Equal variances assumed 0,017 < 0,05, and 3) the utilization of a science laboratory by experienced teachers in teaching basic science significantly influenced one student’s learning outcomes.

Abstract

High achievement especially in Biology is usually enhanced by proper Biology laboratory practical. However, it is assumed that most Biology teachers resort strictly to the use of theoretical method in teaching. This has constantly led to poor performance of students in the Senior Secondary School Certificate Examination across Nigeria. Therefore, this study investigated the statistical analysis on influence of Biology laboratory practical on students’ academic performance of Senior Secondary Students in Ilorin East, Kwara State, Nigeria. The study was a descriptive survey type. One hundred and twenty (120) students were sampled for the study using proportionate and simple random sampling technique in Ilorin East L.G.A, Kwara State, Nigeria. A researched designed questionnaire was used to accumulate information from respondents. Three research questions and two research hypotheses formulated were tested using percentage, mean, frequency count and independent t. test and ANOVA at 0.05alpha level of significant. The result of findings revealed that Biology laboratory practical has a great influence on senior secondary school students' academic performance and also on the level of understanding and retention capabilities of students but there was no significant influence of Biology laboratory practical on students’ academic performance based on gender but not was significant based on class size. It is thus recommended that; all Biology teachers should engage students more in pratical activities more than the theory aspect to facilitate better understanding among the students, Ministry of Education should provide adequate laboratory equipment and good laboratory environment to promote spirit of curiosity in students and stakeholders should build more infrastructure such as laboratories, classrooms and others.

Abstract

This study examined the impact of Biology instructional materials on the academic performance of senior secondary school students in Ilorin West LGA, Kwara State, Nigeria. It employed a descriptive survey research design and targeted Biology students in senior secondary schools. A random sampling technique was used to select 120 students. Data was collected using a questionnaire and analyzed using frequency count, percentage, mean, standard deviation, independent t-test, and ANOVA. The findings revealed a significant positive effect of Biology instructional materials on students' academic performance. Students taught with these materials outperformed those without them. However, no significant differences were found based on gender and class size. The study also highlighted the importance of school type, showing a substantial influence of Biology instructional materials on academic performance. Recommendations include the Ministry of Education providing instructional materials, Biology teachers incorporating them in lessons to foster competition, government support for public schools in obtaining instructional materials, and additional infrastructure like classrooms and laboratories..
