Abstract

This paper focuses on the Influence of Collaborative Instructional Approach on Mathematics Achievement of Students with Openness to Experience Traits during Pandemic Era in Taraba State. Qualitative Research Design was adopted whereby data were gathered through secondary sources. Findings revealed that during the Pandemic Era, students with Openness to Experience enjoyed learning when they were exposed to Collaborative Instructional Approach. It was recommended that teachers should be encouraged to group students based on student’s personal traits to improve their achievement during the Pandemic Era in Taraba State.

Abstract

This study focuses on the effect of peer teaching approach on primary schools pupils’ interest, self-concept and academic achievement of geometry and trigonometry. The objectives of the study were to: determine the level of interest by Primary School Pupils in learning geometry and trigonometry when peer teaching approach is used as instructional strategy, Find out the level of self-concept pose by primary school pupils exposed to peer teaching approach and Determine the Academic Achievement of Primary school pupils who are exposed to peer teaching approach. The study adopted quasi-experimental design. Sample of 50 pupils were used for data collection. Results of the study revealed that there is a significant difference on pupils’ interest, self-concept and academic achievement when exposed to peer teaching approach. As all the three hypotheses were accepted at 5% level of significance. It was recommended that teachers should incorporate group learning among pupils in other to build their competency.

Abstract

This study investigates the effect of a collaborative instructional approach (CIA) on geometry achievement among secondary school students in Taraba State, Nigeria, with particular attention to the moderating role of personality traits. The study focused on three personality dimensions, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and openness to experience, examining how each interacts with instructional methods (CIA vs. traditional lecture) to influence academic performance. Guided by four research objectives, questions, and hypotheses, the study employed a quasi-experimental pre-test/post-test design. A total of 295 students from the Zing Education Zone participated, with grouping based on their dominant personality traits as measured by a validated inventory (Cronbach’s α = 0.95). Students received instruction in geometry using either the collaborative instructional approach or the lecture method. Descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) were used to address the research questions, while analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) tested the hypotheses at the 0.005 level of significance. The findings revealed that students with openness to experience achieved significantly lower scores when taught with the collaborative instructional approach compared to those taught using the lecture method, contrary to prevailing assumptions about learner-centered instruction. The study underscores the need for differentiated instructional strategies aligned with students’ personality profiles. It recommends targeted professional development programs, including seminars and workshops, for mathematics educators in the Zing Education Zone to enhance pedagogical responsiveness and subject mastery in meeting diverse learner needs.
