A sample of 70 students, 20 teacher and 10 Administrators was randomly selected from a population of 300 which included; teachers, school administrators and pupils. The instruments used for data collection were a self-design questionnaire and an interview guide and then Frequency distributions and percentages were used to present the data ob...
ABSTRACT In this thesis new correlation of bubble point pressure (Pb) has been created using software called VariReg depending on the theory of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN). A computer program has been designed using MATLAB® software to simplify the calculation of the bubble and dew points pressures depending on the theory of the equation of state (EOS), the program includes some of others known empirical correlations of bubble point and dew point pressures, and a comparison study betwe...
ABSTRACT Previous studies alluded to the impacts of HIV/AIDS on education in Namibia. While such studies implied that secondary school science education was under the threat of Human Immuno-deficiency Virus/Acquired Immuno-Deficiency Syndrome (HIV/AIDS), there was a paucity of disaggregated and empirical data that spoke to the specific linkages between HIV/AIDS and secondary school science education. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to elucidate the HIV/AIDS impacts, risk factors, an...
ABSTRACT Teaching and learning Natural Science for conceptual understanding requires appropriate and effective teaching approaches and inquiry-based learning activities. The problem of teaching and learning Natural Science for deeper understanding is global and Namibia is not an exception. The Ministry of Education, Arts and Culture’s reports on the National Standardised Achievement Tests (SATs) results of Grade 7 Natural Science showed that learners scored under basic achievement category...
ABSTRACT This research work investigated the effects of laboratory exercises on science secondary school students’ performance in chemistry, in Kaduna State, Nigeria. In most of the literature reviewed, the final outcome favoured laboratory exercises. Quasi experimental and descriptive survey research were employed in this study. In quasi experimental design the researcher selected six (6) schools out of 372 science schools across the state. Similarly, 31 schools were selected for survey r...
ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to determine the effect of Angela Reilly Harden linear algebra games as a means of consolidating the learning of linear algebra at SHS form one of Armed Forces and Osei Kyeretwie Senior High School. One hundred and twenty first year students were randomly selected for the study. Sixty students were selected for the control and sixty students for the experimental groups. For both groups, a test was applied as a pretest before the instruction. Both groups we...
ABSTRACT This study was designed to investigate the PCK of an integrated science teacher: which includes the kind of PCK teacher exhibits in the planning and implementation of lessons on selected topics and how it influences her belief about teaching science at the Senior High School level. The explanatory sequential mixed method design was used in this study. The research was carried out in Benkum Senior High SchoolLarteh in the Akuapem North Municipality. The sample was an integrated scienc...
ABSTRACT This study was designed to investigate the effects of laboratory practical activities on students’ learning and understanding of selected Physics concepts at E.P College of Education, Bimbilla in the Northern Region of Ghana. The target population was all the physics students in four training colleges in the northern region of Ghana. However, the accessible population was 95 students in E.P.College of Education, Bimbilla. The study was a quasi-experimental design. It comprised one ...
ABSTRACT Reports about the huge number of children involving in fishing and its tremendous impacts should be of grave concern to all. Fishing labour market in Keta municipality is shaping children’s schooling behaviour where some pupils are combining schooling with fishing. This study investigated the effects of fishing activities on school attendance and academic performance of pupils in the area. Data was collected using questionnaires, pupils' attendance register and examination scores. ...
ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to investigate the attitudes of SHS two chemistry students of Salaga Senior High School towards ICT integration in their teaching and learning. The study attempted to establish the ICT infrastructure available in schools to enable them integrate ICT in teaching and learning and the perceptions of school managers in integrating ICT in teaching and learning in the school. For this study, an exploratory approach, using descriptive survey design was used. Th...

The research population for this study comprised of teachers and students of Agona Nyakrom Senior Technical High School .Purposive and simple random sampling techniques were used to select a sample of 62 respondents for the study. Both...
ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to use model to teach double indicator titration at the SHS. Five research questions were formed to guide this study. This study used action research design using quantitative approach. Purposive and simple random sampling procedures were employed to select one hundred and seventy-five (175) participants for the study. Classroom observational checklist and questionnaire were the instruments used to collect data in the study. Descriptive statistics tools ...
ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to compare the effects of concept mapping and traditional methods on students’ performance in some selected topics in Biology in the Kwaebibirem District in the Eastern Region. Asuom Senior High School was the experimental school while Kade Technical Senior High School was the control school in this study. A pre-test – post-test non-equivalent quasi-experimental design was used for the study. The sample size was 124 students. The experimental group consi...
ABSTRACT The study investigated the effect of Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI) on the attitude and cognitive achievement of students in chemical bonding. The study compared the effect of CAI and a Traditional Method of Teaching (TMT) on the cognitive achievement of students in chemical bonding. The study was conducted in the Kwahu East District of the Eastern Region of Ghana. Schools that offered chemistry as an elective subject were the target population. The total accessible population f...
