The Impact

There have been perennial concerns on the low academic performance of students among researchers and other education stakeholders. Innovative teaching strategies have, therefore, gained prominence in the field of mathematics education. The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of a social constructivist instructional strategy on students’ performance in algebra. The present study is quasi-experimental, and its type is a posttest control group involving 154 secondary school students that are randomly selected across four intact classes. The random selection of students to treatment and control controls is assumed to improve the validity of the results. Two research questions are raised, and two null hypotheses are formulated and tested at p≤0.05 level of significance. One research instrument, algebra performance test (APT), was developed, pilot-tested (test-retest reliability coefficient of 0.897), and used to measure students’ performance in both treatment and control groups. The data are analyzed using independent sample t-tests. The findings indicate that there are significant differences in the mean performance scores between experimental (mean = 16.05, SD = 2.74) and control (mean = 11.46, SD = 2.49) groups, t(152) = 10.83, p<0.05. These findings may be interpreted to be evidence of the effectiveness of the social constructivist instructional strategy in improving performance in algebra better than the conventional teaching method. Also, a significant difference exists between the mean performance scores of males (mean = 17.83, SD = 2.82) and females (mean = 14.72, SD = 1.77) in the experimental group (t(80) = 6.11, p<0.05). Thus, the effect of the social constructivist instructional strategy on students’ performance in algebra is gender-sensitive. Based on these findings, some recommendations are made to students, teachers, parents, administrators, and other stakeholders.

The sample for the study was drawn from the accessible population of 6342 secondary school teachers in six education zones of the state namely Aguata, Awka, Nnewi, Ogidi, Onitsha and Otuocha. The sample for the study was drawn using the proportionate stratified sampling technique. The subjects were stratified based on the educations and further the simple random sampling of lucky dip was used to select 634 (372 experienced and 262 less experienced) secondary school teachers for inclusion in the study. The instrument was structured toa 4-point response option of Strongly Agree (4), Agree (3), Disagree (2) and Strongly Disagree (1). The instrument was validated by two experts, and the reliability of the instrument was established using Cronbach alpha method with the reliability coefficients 0.78, 0.80 and 0.81. Arithmetic mean was used to answer the research questions, standard deviation was used to determine the homogeneity or heterogeneity of the respondents’ ratings. On the other hand, the t-test for independent sample was used to test the null hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. Results: At 0.05 level of significance, the cluster mean of the respondents rating was 3.28 This mean score indicates that teachers agreed that preventive strategies curbs examination malpractices among secondary school students. The cluster mean obtained was 2.73. This indicates that the respondents agreed to corrective strategies for curbing examination malpractice among secondary school students. The cluster mean obtained was 2.73. This indicates that the respondents agreed to corrective strategies for curbing examination malpractice among secondary school students. Data reported relating to hypotheses 1 reveals that the significant value is greater than the alpha value 0.05, hence there is no significant difference in the mean rating of teachers on preventive strategies for curbing examination malpractice among secondary school students in Nigeria based on years of experience (0-5 years and 6 years and above). Data reported relating to hypotheses 2 shows that there is a significant difference in the mean rating of teachers on corrective strategies for curbing examination malpractice among secondary school student in Nigeria based on years of experience (0-5 years of experience and 6 years and above). Similarly, data presented relating to hypotheses 3 revealed that the significant value is greater than the alpha value 0.05, this means that there is no significant difference in the mean rating of teachers on motivational strategies for curbing examination malpractice among secondary school student in Nigeria based on years of experience (0-5 years and 6 years and above). Conclusion: Based on the findings of this study, teachers agreed that preventive strategies, corrective strategies, and the respondents also agreed to motivational strategies for curbing examination malpractice among secondary school students. There is no significant difference in the mean rating of teachers on preventive strategies, while there is a significant difference in the mean rating of teachers on corrective strategies for curbing examination malpractice. Finally, there is no significant difference in the mean rating of teachers on motivational strategies for curbing examination malpractice among secondary school student in Nigeria based on years of experience (0-5 years and 6 years and above).

In this research, the effects of individual and group learning activities on perceptions of block-based programming self-efficacy and attitudes towards robotic programming were tried to be determined. The research was conducted in a private school located in Sariyer, district of Istanbul province in the 2nd academic year of 2018-2019 with 32 students from 7th Grade. The study fulfilled as a semi-experimental pattern on the experimental and control groups using the pretest-posttest design. According to the research results, individual and group learning did not affect secondary school students’ perceptions of block-based programming self-efficacy and attitudes towards robotic programming. In addition to this, an increase was found in the perceptions of block-based programming self-efficacy in the experimental and control groups, and the attitudes towards programming of programming of the experimental group students. It was concluded that there was no significant difference between age, gender, taking aScratch lesson, writing a computer program with Scratch, and taking a robotic-programming lessons before. While robotic attitudes of students did not differ significantly according to their age and previous status of taking robotic coding courses, however, they differed significantly according to gender and male students had higher attitudes towards robotic programming than female students.

The present study was conducted to ascertain the environmental awareness across gender, locale, type of schools and academic stream among senior secondary school students. The sample of the study comprised of 300 11th class students studying in different government and non- government senior secondary schools of Sambhal district (U.P.) of Moradabad region. Environment Awareness Ability Measure (EAAM) by Praveen Kumar Jha (1998) was used to collect the data for the purpose. The data were analyzed using descriptive (Mean, Standard Deviations) and inferential (‘t’- test) statistics. The findings of the present study revealed that there is significant difference in environmental awareness of senior secondary school students across gender (boys and girls), type of schools (government and non-government) and academic stream (science and arts). However no significant difference is found in case of rural and urban sample. The reason for this result may be the rampant illiteracy in the district. Stakeholders should, therefore, ensure that the curriculum relating to environmental education is transacted as a core curriculum. Other activities related to environmental education viz., curricular, co- curricular and literary activities should also be organized to infuse environmental awareness among students.

Repetitive Learning

A variety of approaches have been proposed for teaching several volleyball techniques to beginners, ranging from general ball familiarization to model-oriented repetition to highly variable learning. This study compared the effects of acquiring three volleyball techniques in parallel with three approaches. Female secondary school students (N = 42; 15.6 ± 0.54 years) participated in a pretest for three different volleyball techniques (underhand pass, overhand pass, and overhead serve) with an emphasis on accuracy. Based on their results, they were parallelized into three practice protocols, a repetitive learning group (RG), a differential learning group (DG), and a control group (CG). After a period of six weeks with 12 intervention sessions, all participants attended a posttest. An additional retention test after two weeks revealed a statistically significant difference between DG, RG, and CG for all single techniques as well as the combined multiple technique. In each technique—the overhand pass, the underhand pass, the overhand service, and the combination of the three techniques—DG performed best (each p < 0.001).
