The
empirical evidence from this research work is expected to guide both
curriculum designers and classroom teachers on their development and
implementation process.
It would help parent/guardians to know the problem encountered by their children and help them to correct these challenges.
The
result of this study will assist school administrators, government,
parents and supervisors to encourage Basic Science and Technology
teachers on the need to adopt and effectively use the laboratory in the
teaching-learning process.
Delimitation of the study
This study
was delimited to the use of laboratory in teaching the concept of Heat
Flow in Basic Science and Technology and all Junior Secondary Two (JSS2)
Basic Science and Technology Students in Ibesikpo/Asutan Local
Government Area of Akwa Ibom State.
Limitation of the study
The
study is limited by constraining factors such as financial and time
constraints with which to cover large sample area. It is also limited by
poor road network and high cost of transportation to and from the
selected schools.
Definition of terms
The following terms were defined operationally:
STUDENTS’
ACHIEVEMENT: This is the scores obtained by the students using the
Basic Science and Technology Achievement Test (BSTAT) on the concept of
Heat Flow.
GENDER: This refers to either being a male or female.
LABORATORY:
This is a room or building equipped for scientific experiments,
research or teaching activity based concept such as Heat Flow in Basic
Science and Technology.
LECTURE: This is a talk or speech given to a group of people to teach them about a particular concept or subject.
BASIC
SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY: This is a beginner science at the junior
secondary schools which deals with scientific inquiry and application of
scientific discovery for the benefit of man.
