Abstract

Students’ poor retention and declining interest in literary appreciation have continued to pose serious challenges to the effective teaching and learning of Literature in English in Nigerian secondary schools. Traditional teaching methods that emphasize teacher-centered instruction often fail to sustain students’ long-term understanding and engagement. This study therefore investigated the interaction effect of gender and teaching methods on students’ retention in literary appreciation among Senior Secondary II students in Anambra State. The study adopted a quasi-experimental design using a pretest and posttest non-equivalent control group. Intact classes were assigned to experimental and control groups, with the experimental group taught through reciprocal peer tutoring and the control group through conventional teaching. Conducted in Anambra State, the study involved 65 Senior Secondary II students drawn from two co-educational schools. Data were collected using the Literature in English Achievement and Retention Test, validated and found reliable with a coefficient of 0.72. Teachers administered pretests, posttests, and retention tests. Data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, and analysis of covariance at a 0.05 significance level. The findings revealed that male students recorded a posttest mean score of (52.81) and retention mean of (55.61) with a gain of (2.80), while female students had posttest and retention means of (51.47) and (52.58) with a gain of (1.11). This indicated that males achieved slightly higher retention using the conventional method. The ANCOVA result showed a significance value of (0.102), which exceeded the (0.05) level, leading to the acceptance of the null hypothesis. Hence, there was no significant interaction effect of gender and teaching methods on students’ retention in literary appreciation, implying that retention was independent of gender. The study concluded that students’ retention depended more on the teaching strategies employed than on gender differences. It recommended that Literature in English teachers adopt more interactive and student-centered approaches such as Reciprocal Peer Tutoring to enhance understanding and long-term retention in literary studies.

Abstract

Amidst ongoing economic hardship, science education in tertiary institutions faces the challenge of maintaining relevance while ensuring quality learning outcomes that foster innovation and national development. This study examined the influence of harnessing educational technology for effective science pedagogy in tertiary institutions in Anambra State. Guided by three research questions and two null hypotheses tested at a 0.05 significance level, the study employed a descriptive survey design. The population comprised 128 science education lecturers (52 males and 76 females) in public universities across the state, with a census approach adopted for data collection. A 22-item expert-validated questionnaire developed by the researchers served as the data collection instrument, achieving a reliability coefficient of 0.87 using Cronbach’s Alpha. Data were analysed using mean and standard deviation, while t-test was used to test the hypotheses with SPSS version 25. Findings revealed a moderate level of awareness and utilisation of technology-enhanced instructional tools among science education lecturers. Results further indicated no significant gender difference in awareness levels. Major challenges identified included limited access to digital tools, poor electricity and internet connectivity, and inadequate institutional support. The study concluded that, despite moderate awareness, the full potential of educational technology in science pedagogy remains underutilised. It recommended continuous capacity building, improved infrastructural support, and strategic investment in digital tools to foster an inclusive, technology-driven learning environment in tertiary institutions of Anambra State.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model in senior high school physics through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach. This method identifies research trends, developed skills, applied methodologies, and the most frequently studied physics topics within PBL contexts. Data were obtained from 21 national and international scientific articles published between 2023 and 2025. The results show that the implementation of PBL in high school physics primarily focuses on improving students’ critical thinking skills, learning outcomes, and the development of digital-based modules. Moreover, most studies employ quasi-experimental and research and development (R&D) approaches with physics materials such as Newton’s Laws, sound waves, and renewable energy. Based on this SLR, it can be concluded that PBL positively impacts students’ cognitive and metacognitive abilities, enhancing engagement and technological integration in physics education.

Abstract

The quality of teachers’ service delivery in public secondary schools in Anambra State has been a persistent concern, often linked to low student performance, inadequate instructional supervision, and weak organizational culture. The study used a correlational research design to examine how school administrative practices and organizational culture relate to teachers’ service delivery in Anambra State public secondary schools. The population consisted of 6,598 teachers across six education zones, with a sample of 660 selected through multistage and proportionate random sampling. Data were collected using three structured questionnaires on administrative practices, organizational culture, and teachers’ service delivery, validated by experts and tested for reliability with Cronbach Alpha coefficients above 0.70. Questionnaires were administered directly, yielding 618 valid responses. Data were analyzed with Pearson correlation using SPSS to determine the strength and direction of relationships among the variables. The study examined the correlation between instructional supervision, clan culture, and teachers’ service delivery in public secondary schools in Anambra State with a sample of 618 teachers. Results showed a strong positive correlation between instructional supervision and teachers’ service delivery (r = 0.806, p = 0.000), indicating that better supervision significantly enhances service delivery. Similarly, clan culture exhibited a very strong positive correlation with teachers’ service delivery (r = 0.846, p = 0.000), suggesting that supportive cultural values within schools positively influence teacher effectiveness. Both null hypotheses were rejected, confirming significant relationships between the variables. The study concludes that consistent instructional supervision and a supportive clan-based organizational culture are critical for enhancing teachers’ service delivery in public secondary schools.
