Three research question and three corresponding hypotheses were answered and tested respectively. It was a Quasi-experimental design of the pre-test, post-test, non-randomized and non-equivalent control group type involving one experimental and one control group. A total of 157 (71 males and 86 females) SS1 students were involved in the study, 74 (33 males and 41 females) students for the experimental group and 83 (38 males and 45 females) students for the control group. 4-stage sampling technique involving stratified, simple random sampling and intact class techniques were used to arrive at the samples. Two research instruments, Mathematics Achievement Test (MAT) and Mathematics Anxiety Questionnaire (MAQ) were employed for data collection. Descriptive statistics and percentages were used to answer the re...

Research paper thumbnail of Effect of Activity-Based Instructional Strategy on Senior Secondary School Students’ Retention in Circle Geometry in Abuja, Nigeria

European Journal of Education Studies, 2021

This study investigated the effects of activity-based instructional strategy on senior secondary ... more This study investigated the effects of activity-based instructional strategy on senior secondary schools students’ retention in circle geometry. The study employed a quasi-experimental design of the type pre-test, post-test groups design. The sample for the study comprised of 162 senior secondary 2 students drawn from two randomly selected co-educational schools in Federal Capital Territory, Nigeria. The research instrument was Mathematics Retention Test (MRT) containing items adapted from standardized WAEC questions. The test –retest method was employed for the reliability of the test instrument. The Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient (r)=0.86 was obtained. Data collected were analyzed using t-test. The finding of this study revealed that there was a significant difference in the retention of students taught circle geometry using activity-based instructional strategy (ABIS) and the students taught circle geometry using conventional methods in favour of the students taug...

Research paper thumbnail of Location Differential Item Functioning of Test Items of 2015 Joint Senior Secondary II Mathematics Promotion Examination in Ondo State, Nigeria

The study employed an ex-post facto research design. A sample of 3,135 examinees was selected from a population of 52,922 examinees who sat for the examination using multistage random sampling techniques. One research question was raised, and one hypothesis formulated and tested for significance at p Article visualizations:

Markov chains were employed to determine the brand loyalty of the consumers of the soft drinks and the future market shares in the long run. Sequel to the balance vector generated, it was discovered that the consumers exhibited the most brand loyalty towards Fanta.
