IMPACT OF PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PARAMETERS ON PRACTICAL DEMONSTRATION AND ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT OF BIOLOGY EDUCATION STUDENTS OF NORTHWESTUNIVERSITY KANO, NIGERIA.
Abstract
The study focused on the Impact of Physical and Chemical Parameters on Practical Demonstration and Academic Achievement of Biology Education Students of Northwest University Kano. Three research questions were posed to guide the study. The research design adopted for this study was descriptive survey design. The sample size comprised of (108) Biology Education Students in Department of Science Education, Northwest University Kano. The instruments namely questionnaire titled Physical and Chemical Parameters on Practical Demonstration and Academic Achievement of Biology Student's Questionnaire (PCPPDAABSQ) were used for data collection. The data obtained were analysed using frequency, simple percentage mean and Standard deviation. The result revealed that Physical parameters have a significant impact on practical demonstrations by Biology education students in Northwest University Kano. Chemical parameters have a significant impact on practical demonstrations by Biology education students in Northwest University, Kano State. There is a significant relationship between practical demonstrations and the academic achievement of Biology education students in Northwest University, Kano State. And the study recommended Physical parameters have a significant impact on practical demonstrations by Biology education students in Northwest University Kano. As such, conferences, seminars and workshops should be organized and sponsored by government for teachers at all level on how to use to assemble and manage physical laboratory parameters for accurate results while conducting practicals. Chemical parameters have a significant impact on practical demonstrations by Biology education students in Northwest University, Kano State. As such, conferences, seminars and workshops should be organized and sponsored by government for teachers at all level on how to use to assemble and manage chemical laboratory parameters for accurate results while conducting practicals.
