ABSTRACT

Some scholars have found out from some states of the federation that the results of chemistry students in senior secondary School certificate examination have been always poor. â€œAmong students who enroll in chemistry, the results in chemistry are very poor. We found out that the chemistry teachers who teach them are competent enough.

Achievement in science, like chemistry is affected by the teaching personality of the science teachers (Ali 1981). Another scholar Offiah (1987) observed that only the professionally trained chemistry teachers can perform effectively as chemistry teachers to the success of their students. This study, therefore, investigated the effect of lecture and demonstration methods on teaching and learning, secondary school chemistry in Enugu urban, Enugu State. To obtain appropriate results from the study, research questions were formulated.

Questionnaires and structured interview were administered to stratified, randomly selected secondary schools students in Enugu urban, Enugu State.

This study revealed that the performance of chemistry students in senior school certificate examinations in Enugu urban, Enugu State since the recent past have been on the average. This is because the chemistry teachersâ€™ competence and personality traits and their effectiveness in chemistry teaching approaches to achieve success are also at averages approaches. Appropriate recommendations were made based on the findings.
