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

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.
