Abstract

Microteaching and teaching practice are important and compulsory twin course for any teacher trainee student in Nigeria before becoming a professional teacher. The former pave the way for the later and it is intended to prepare teacher trainee for the real teaching practice exercise. This study investigate whether microteaching successfully predict the performance of physics teacher trainees in teaching practice. This investigation is a quantitative research which adopt the ex post facto research design. It involved a cohort of 638 final year Bachelor of Science Education (Physics) students spanning four academic sessions (2015/2016- 2018/2019). The only research question and hypothesis raised were answered and tested using mean/standard deviation and t-test statistics respectively. The result reveal a moderate positive relationship between the performance of physics teacher trainees in microteaching and teaching practice. This study concludes that micro-teaching viably predicted student’s performance in teaching practice.

Abstract

The need for the acquisition of science process skills is gaining acceptance in secondary school as a crucial preparatory skill for promoting entrepreneurship. The problem of unemployment is a challenge facing many developing nations, with no exception to the developed nations. In the current study, the effect of the acquisition of science process skills through entrepreneurship education on 125 Nigerian senior secondary school students' achievement and retention in "Physics in Technology" was investigated. The study adopts the randomized pre-test-post-test control group quasi-experimental design. A group of students was taught using science process skills through the entrepreneurship method, while the other group was taught using the conventional lecture method. A researcher-made instrument, Achievement Test in Physics (ATP), was used to collect data for the study. Overall, this investigation reports that students who acquired science process skills through the entrepreneurship method achieved and retained significantly better than those students taught with the conventional method. The results indicate that science process skills acquisition and entrepreneurship education are indispensable towards self-reliance and sustainable development of the nation. Also, students taught science process skills using the entrepreneurship method retained what had been learned better than the other group, and the method did not segregate along student gender. This paper contributes to scholastic by making a case for incorporating entrepreneurship education into the senior secondary school Physics curriculum. This would assist in the production of secondary school students whose creativity, ingenuity, and resourcefulness can assist in reducing the problem of unemployment through the encouragement of entrepreneurship.
