Abstract

This study examined the analysis of the effect of science instructional materials on students’ academic performance in Ilorin West, Kwara State. Three research questions were formulated while two hypotheses were tested for the study. The study was descriptive research of the survey type. It was targeted at science students in various schools in Ilorin West, Kwara State, Nigeria. A random sampling technique was used to select 120 science students from various schools in Ilorin West LGA, Kwara State, Nigeria. The research-designed questionnaire was used to accumulate information about class size, school type, and academic performance from respondents. The data accumulated was analyzed using frequency count and percentage, mean, and standard deviation while the research hypotheses were analyzed using an independent t-test and ANOVA. Findings from the study revealed that science instructional materials have a great effect on various school students’ academic performance. The students taught with science instructional materials have excellent performance compared to those taught without the science instructional material. There was also a significant effect based on school type while there was no significant effect based on class size. Recommendations made based on this result were that the Ministry of Education should take responsibility for providing science instructional materials to broader schools to enhance better performance in science around the state.

Abstract

It is urgent to address a systematic and objective approach to evaluating students’ practical skills. Exceptionally, current subjective assessment methods for students’ practical performance are to be provided with a more objective evaluation. Hence the study investigated the statistical testing on Basic Science practical on students’ academic performance in students in Ilorin East, Kwara State, Nigeria. The study was a descriptive research survey type. 120 students were sampled in secondary schools in Ilorin East LGA using a purposive sampling technique. The researchers designed a questionnaire was used to accumulate information from respondents. Data collected were analyzed using percentage, mean, frequency count, independent t-test, and ANOVA at 0.05 alpha significance level. The findings revealed that Basic Science practical has a great influence on school students' academic performance and also on the level of understanding and retention capabilities of students but there was no significant influence on students’ academic performance based on gender as well as class size. Also, student’s academic performance in Basic Science was not significantly influenced by gender or class size partially. It is recommended that all Basic Science teachers should engage students more in practical activities than the theory aspect to facilitate better understanding among the students.
