Abstract

Students' oral language skills are very important in the digital era, and technology and communication have developed rapidly by presenting spoken language content that is popular with students. Multiliteracy learning refers to the multicontext aspect, which means learning uses various contexts or broad topics. In the multimedia aspect, multiliteracy learning uses various media. This research uses a case study design with the aim of exploring the oral language skills of elementary school students in the digital era to support multiliteracy learning. The data in the research was collected through several collection techniques in the form of questionnaires, observations and interviews. The data of this study were analysed using a qualitative approach with thematic analysis techniques. The research results show that students' oral language skills in this digital era are still limited to non-formal speaking skills. Talking content comes from shows that are watched, namely short dramas, advice, food review videos, other entertainment content. The type of text used in oral language learning is only printed text, which in their daily lives students often watch content on social media such as WhatsApp, Tiktok, snackvideo and YouTube. Students prefer short, interesting videos, with a few activities that involve thinking skills. Listening and speaking activities through these sources can be included in learning according to a multiliteracy context so that it is more meaningful for students.

Abstract

This study examined the influence of social media applications on pre-service Biology teachers’ learning outcomes in Kwara State College of Education, Oro, Nigeria. The sample comprised sixty pre-service teachers who were drawn using purposive sampling technique from NCE 3 of the 2021/2022 set. Questionnaire was used for data collection while the data gathered were analyzed using mean, standard deviation and t-test statistical tool at a mean benchmark of 2.50. Findings from the study revealed that WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube are the commonly used social media applications by pre-service Biology teachers which are usually accessed through mobile phones and tablets. Further finding indicates that pre-service Biology teachers use social media applications daily but more during the night hours. There was also a significant difference between social media application usage and pre-service Biology teachers study habits in Kwara State College of Education, Oro, Nigeria t(118) = 2.39, p = .02. The study concluded that pre-service Biology teachers use social media and it is affecting their study habits, and in turn their learning outcomes. It is therefore, recommended that the college should provide adequate training to equip pre-service teachers with necessary skills to maximize the utilization of social media applications to boost their learning outcomes.

Abstract

This study determined the effects of two instructional strategies (Project and Inquiry) on students’ achievement in selected abstract concepts of Biology. The study adopted the pretest-posttest control group, a quasi-experimental design. 120 SS II Biology students from six co-educational schools in two Local Government Areas (LGAs) of Kwara state were randomly selected. Participants were randomly assigned to treatment groups. The instruments used were: the Biology Student Achievement Test (r=0.88) and Teachers Instructional guides on Project and Inquiry strategies. Two hypotheses were formulated and tested at a 0.05 level of significance. The data collected were analyzed using analysis of covariance, the treatment had a significant main effect on students’ achievement on some selected abstract concepts in Biology(F(2, 107) =12.061; p<0.05, partial η2 = 0.184). Project strategy (PS) treatment group 1 has the highest adjusted mean achievement scores (x ̅=23.21) than those in the Inquiry Strategy (IS) treatment group11 (x ̅=17.81) and the students in the Conventional Strategy (CS) control group have the lowest adjusted mean achievement scores (x ̅=17.20). This order is represented as PS >IS > CS.  The male students showed greater improvements in mean gain of achievement scores by 21.94 and female students by 17.13. Based on the findings Project and Inquiry strategies should be adopted for the improvement of students’ achievement in abstract concepts in biology.

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to understand how the gallery walks method impacts the academic achievement of Biology students at the Senior Secondary level in Isin Local Government Area of Kwara State in Nigeria. The researchers utilized the pretest-posttest control group quasi-experimental design. The sample population included 103 SSII Biology students from two schools within Isin Local Government Area of Kwara State, Nigeria, who were randomly assigned to the treatment group. The instrument utilized was the Biology Student Performance Test (r=0.81). This research study followed two guiding research questions and hypotheses. The research questions were answered with descriptive statistics of means and standard deviations, while the hypotheses were tested using inferential statistics of Analysis of Covariance: all at 0.05 significance level. The findings from this research indicated that the use of the gallery walks method enhances students' performance in Biology compared to the lecture method. There exists a considerable difference concerning the average academic performance of students taught biology using the gallery walks method in contrast to those taught using the lecture method. The authors concluded that biology teachers should implement the gallery walks technique in instructing biology at the senior secondary level in order for students to learn more effectively and rapidly; also, the method is able to enhance students' self-esteem while improving their academic achievements.
