Abstract

The study investigated how the crossover instructional strategy (CIS) affected secondary school students' biology academic performance in Onitsha Education zone. The non-randomized control group design, a quasi-experimental research strategy, was used in the study. A multi-stage sampling technique was used to choose 52 Senior Secondary Year Two (SS2) students (21 boys and 31 girls) from the 5,132 biology students in the zone. A coin toss was used to assign the sampled students, who were enrolled in two intact classes, to the control (10 males and 15 girls) or experimental (11 boys and 16 girls) groups at random. The researchers created a 50-item biology achievement test (BAT), which has a reliability coefficient of 0.81. The results demonstrated that CIS increased biology students' academic success more than the Conventional Lecture Method (CLM). Biology student academic achievement was unaffected by gender either alone or in combination with the teaching strategies. The research found that CIS is a cutting-edge educational strategy that actively involves students in the learning process in both formal and informal settings, helping them retain biology concepts and ultimately improve their academic performance. In accordance with the findings, the study recommended that biology teachers implement CIS in schools to improve students' biology achievement.

Abstract

Basic science's role in instilling a love of science and laying the groundwork for science studies in senior secondary school prompted the survey of teachers' awareness and utilization of innovative teaching strategies for effective teaching and learning of basic science in upper basic education. The study adopted a survey research design. The population comprised all the 36 basic science teachers in the 19 public secondary schools in Awka South local government area. Questionnaire was used to collect data. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics of frequency and mean scores. The study found that the teachers are aware of majority of innovative teaching strategies for teaching Basic science. The extent basic science teachers use innovative teaching strategies in enhancing basic science teaching in upper basic education was to a low extent. The study concluded that the basic science teachers are aware of the majority of innovative teaching strategies but their application within the classroom remains low. This discrepancy between awareness and practice highlights a critical gap in the implementation of effective pedagogical approaches for basic science education. The study recommended that the government through her relevant educational agencies should design and implement comprehensive training programs focused on equipping teachers with the necessary skills and knowledge to effectively utilize various innovative teaching strategies in the basic science classroom.
