Abstract

This study was carried out to determine the effect of lecture and demonstration methods on academic achievement of students in Chemistry in the Nassarawa Local Government Area of Kano State. Fifty eight (58) Chemistry students (boys and girls) in the Senior Secondary School One (SS1) from two randomly selected schools were involved in the study. Necessary data were collected and the validated reliable data were analyzed using t-test at a significant level of 0.05. Results obtained revealed that students perform better in Chemistry when taught using the demonstration method as compared to the lecture method. The boys and girls are better in academic achievement when taught using demonstration method than when lecture method was used. The demonstration method shows equality in the performance of boys and girls. Hence the adoption of demonstration methods in the teaching and learning of Chemistry and science in general is hereby recommended.
