Abstract

There is an urgent need to improve students’ achievement in Chemistry in Nigeria using innovative teaching methods due to the available empirical evidence. This study therefore examined the effect of CWPT (class-wide peer tutoring) on the academic achievement of chemistry students in Anambra State, Nigeria. Additionally, it looked into the moderating effect of gender on students' chemistry achievement as well as the interplay between gender and instructional tactics. Data was gathered from 78 Senior Secondary two (SS2) Chemistry students using a 30 multiple-choice items Chemistry achievement test created by researchers. The Kendall's Coefficient of Concordance (w) was used to get the reliability index for CAT, which was 0.92. Pre-test and post-test non-equivalent control group quasi-experimental design was the methodology utilized in the study. Mean and standard deviation were used to respond to the study questions, and ANCOVA was used to assess the hypotheses. The findings of the investigation showed that CWPT improves students' achievement in chemistry more than the lecture technique does. Additionally, neither gender nor the interaction between gender and instructional strategies had a statistically significant impact on students' achievement in chemistry. It was concluded that CWPT promotes gender equity in chemistry learning and Improves students’ achievement in Chemistry.

Abstract

The study explores the impact of a collaborative instructional strategy (CIS) on students' academic achievement in the Aguata Education Zone of Anambra State, Nigeria. The study also delved into the potential effect of gender on students' achievement in chemistry. The pre-test, post-test non-equivalent control group design was utilized in this quasi-experimental study. There were 2,328 senior secondary two Chemistry students in the population. A sample size of 101 Chemistry students (43 males and 58 females) was selected using the purposive sampling technique from two intact classes at two co-educational schools. Using Kendall's Coefficient of Concordance (w), the Chemistry Achievement Test (CAT) reliability index was calculated to be 0.94. While ANCOVA was used to test the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance, mean and standard were used to answer the research questions. The findings of the study showed that CIS enhances students’ achievement in chemistry more effectively than the conventional strategy. Also, gender has no significant influence on students’ achievement in chemistry. It was recommended among others that educational stakeholders should hold conferences and seminars to train the teachers on how to use CIS in teaching and learning chemistry. Moreover, CIS should be used to ensure and enhance gender equity in both chemistry learning and other school subjects.
