In the same vein, Nwosu, (2003) advanced
some problems including lack of practical skills and inadequate
knowledge of the subject matter. Many teachers think used of teaching
materials is difficult, time consuming and fund depleting. Nnachi,
(2007) identify poor method of teaching and improper use of teaching
materials as being the cause of poor performance. Nnachi, (2007)
observed that many students experience difficulty in science concepts
and courses. This was as a result of constant use of lecture method
without using teaching materials. According to the chief examination
report (2013) of junior school certificate examinations reported lack of
qualified and incompetent science teachers, the use of only lecture
methods of instruction, inability to use teaching materials among others
are the causes of declining of the performance in Basic science
students. Teachers’ neglect of the use of teaching materials has reduced
student’s motivation as far as learning is concerned. Thus, without
solving the problems of inadequate use of teaching materials the
persistent under-performance and retention ability in Basic science will
continue.
It is in the light of the above statement this research
will be set out to investigate the Impact of Teaching Aids on Student's
Academic Performance in Basic Science in Secondary Schools In Oredo LGA.
OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
The
broad purpose of this study is to investigate the Impact of Teaching
Aids on Student's Academic Performance in Basic Science in Secondary
Schools In Oredo LGA. Specifically, the study sought to:-
Determine the effect of teaching aids on students’ academic performance in Basic Science.
Determine
if there is any difference in the academic performance of students
taught Basic Science using teaching aids with those taught without it.
Examine the types of teaching aids used in the teaching of Basic Science in Secondary Schools
RESEARCH QUESTIONS
The following research questions will be answered in this study:
What are the effect of teaching aids on students’ academic performance in Basic Science?
Is
there any difference in the academic performance of students taught
Basic Science using teaching aids with those taught without it?
What are the types of teaching aids used in the teaching of Basic Science in Secondary Schools?
RESEARCH HYPOTHESES
The following hypotheses will be formulated and tested in this study
Ho1:
There is no significant difference in the academic performance of
students taught Basic Science using teaching aids with those taught
without it.
Ho2: There is a significant difference in the academic
performance of students taught Basic Science using teaching aids with
those taught without it.
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
The findings of the study will uplift the standard of Basic Science Education in the following ways;
Basic
Science Teachers: It will help them to understand and develop the
positive attitude of using teaching materials in the process of
teaching-learning in all subjects in large class size.
Basic Science
Students: It will give opportunity and training for students on how to
interact positively and encourage individual student's best performance
in Basic Science. It is therefore, hoped that when students are
successful in learning through enriched improvised and standard teaching
materials, they will look at Basic science with a positive attitude.
Also it will help in motivating the students to be inquisitive in what
to learn using materials.
Policy Makers: The study will educate the
policy makers on the significance and relevance of using teaching
materials in teaching-learning process, so that they can help in making
them available and to reach the teachers and also enforce their use in
the classroom.
Curriculum Planners: The study will motivate the
curriculum planners to include and enforce the use of teaching materials
by teachers as the implementers of the curriculum.
Administrators:
The study will provide information about the reality of educational
practice. This result can be used as reference point in making further
educational practices by Science Education.
Professional
Associations: such as the Science Teachers Association of Nigeria (STAN)
and Nigerian Educational Research and Development Council (NERDC) can
carry out seminars, workshops and research to help implement and
communicate the result of the study to teachers to use as part of their
teaching materials.
