Abstract

Playing games is an important part of a child's cognitive and social development. Students learn more when they are allowed to play and engage in hands-on activities rather than being forced to memorize knowledge (formulas) from books. Enjoyable components must be incorporated into their classes to maintain their attention and increase their performance. The great benefits that gamification offers must be integrated into the basic level of education to limit the easily bored span. Appropriate integration of gamification into classroom activities could raise a positive effect on students’ performance and promote a positive attitude toward learning. This study could provide teachers with information and awareness on innovative instructional approaches that can boost students’ engagement, motivation, and performance while learning. It can also serve as an eye-opener for teachers in other fields of learning to explore and adopt better instructional approaches to teaching to improve student performance. Training of teachers on the use of gamification-based teaching should be integrated into our educational sector. This research was conducted to determine the influence of gamification elements on student academic achievement.

Abstract

The study examined the self-efficacy of pupils’ academic achievement in mathematics. The study adopted a correlational research design. A simple random sampling technique was used to select 568 pupils from 14 public primary schools in the research locale. Two research instruments were used for data gathering. The instruments were the Questionnaire on Pupils’ Self-efficacy (QFYPS) and Mathematics Achievement Test (MAT). One research question was raised while two hypotheses were postulated. QFYPS and MAT were validated by lecturers in the Department of Early Childhood and Primary Education, Kwara State University, Malete, Nigeria. QFYPS and MAT were also tested for reliability using the test-retest method and the reliability coefficients were 0.79 and 0.77 respectively. The research question was answered using Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC) while the two hypotheses were tested using Independent samples t-test. The findings of the study showed that there was a positive relationship between pupils’ self-efficacy and their academic achievement in mathematics. Also, there was no significant difference in the self-efficacy of pupils based on gender. Finally, there was no significant difference in the academic achievement of pupils based on gender. Based on the findings of the study, it was recommended that Teachers and policymakers should implement strategies that enhance pupils' self-efficacy beliefs in mathematics.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate students' self-assessment demonstration-based flipped classroom instructional strategies on pre-degree students' achievement in Physics in the Ilorin metropolis. A quasi-experimental non-equivalent pretest-posttest control group design was performed to measure the effect of flipped classrooms on high school physics performance using a mixture of qualitative and quantitative methods.  The sample included two specially selected intact physics classes of Advanced Level II (S.S. 2), each containing 30 participants. The experimental group was taught using a flipped classroom model and the control group was taught using conventional teaching methods. Studies have found no significant difference in performance between students taught using a demonstration-based flipped classroom and students taught using traditional methods. As a result, it was found that the use of demonstration classes did not significantly affect the improvement of students' academic performance. The study also found that some students felt confident that they were responding positively on pretests and posttests to their flipped curriculum performance. It was recommended to conduct physics teaching and learning in an engaging and learner-centered manner, and demonstration-based-flipped learning instructional strategy should be adopted and encouraged among teachers and students.

Abstract

The present research pertains to the examination of educational beliefs, motivations, and self-reported practices of biology teachers. The study adopted descriptive research of the survey type to senior secondary school students in Kaduna South local government Nigeria and 42 teachers in the sampled schools. The primary objective of this study is to establish whether all local teachers hold identical views regarding curve constructions, are stimulated by curves, and possess the skill set to create curves. The results of the research revealed a significant correlation between teachers' beliefs and curve construction in biology science. Furthermore, the study discovered a significant association between teachers' self-reported practices and the curve construction they used in biology class. Given the evidence, instructors adopt a more affirmative approach. Biology teachers with high ability in curve construction have positively reported great achievement levels in teaching biology with relevant curve illustrations and their self-reported practices, helping students gain mastery of biology. Biology teachers should increase their cultivated positive thinking toward curve construction and devise means by which they can improve the use of curves when teaching students in the classroom. Teachers of biology should always be motivated by the government, school administrators, and society at large. Thus, they can improve their teaching ability and skill.
