THE EFFECTS OF PRACTICAL CHEMISTRY ACTIVITIES ON STUDENT'S ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE ON POST BASIS SCHOOL IN KANO MUNICIPAL LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA KANO STATE
Abstract
ABSTRACT
This study investigated the effect of practical chemistry activities on students’ academic performance on post basic school in Kano municipal local government Kano state. The population of the study was 32,306 SS2 science students. A sampling size of 30 students was drawn from two co-educational secondary schools. The subjects were divided in to two pretest –posttest quasi-experiment was adopted. The instrument developed for data collection was teacher made test (TMT) with reliability coefficient of .753, three research hypotheses were tested. The data collections were subjected to statistical analysis at 0.05 level of significance. The result showed that there is no significant difference between male and female students academic performance in the experiment. On the basis of the findings, it was concluded that, effect of practical chemistry activities on students’ academic performance on post basic school was found efficient and effective in teaching chemistry. It was recommended that teachers should incorporate practical chemistry in teaching strategy in teaching chemistry in order to improve academic performance of the students.
