Purpose: This study was to examine the effects of a curricular model named Situated Game Teaching through Set Plays (SGTSP) on secondary students’ tactical knowledge in a 10-lesson soccer unit. Methods: A quasi-experimental design with a repeated measure was used to examine the effectiveness of the SGTSP model in comparison with a technique-focused approach. Participants’ perceptions of SGTSP were collected through reflection journals throughout the unit. A convenient sample of 27 sixth graders from two classes participated in this study. Data were collected from a tactical knowledge test and reflection journals. A 3 × 2 × 2 factorial analysis of variance with a repeated measure was conducted to analyze the data. Responses to reflection journals were analyzed by deductive analysis and constant comparison. Results: Participants’ tactical knowledge in the SGTSP condition improved significantly more than those in the comparison condition over time. Conclusions: The findings provided evidence supporting the effectiveness of the SGTSP model on developing students’ tactical knowledge as compared to a technique-focused approach.

The study examined the Effect of Audio-Visual Aided Instruction on Junior Secondary Students’ Interest and Achievement in Fraction in Nasarawa State. The study is a quasi-experimental research in which pretest-posttest was used. Purposive sampling technique was employed to select the schools that were used for this research work. It was purposive in the sense that only schools having functional ICT units that were used for the study. The population was made up of 918 JS1 (504 males and 414 females). Two intact classes drawn from two government schools were selected for this research work. One class was used as experimental group while the other as control group. A validated 40 items Fraction Achievement Test (FAT) and 20 items Fraction Interest Scale (FIS) were constructed by the researchers as instruments for the study. Data were collected and analyzed to answer the research questions using mean and standard deviation while the hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance using ANCOVA. It was found that students taught fraction using audio-visual aided instruction achieved higher than their counterparts who were taught using conventional method. Students expressed higher interest in fraction when taught using audio-visual aided instruction. The study therefore recommends that mathematics teachers should be encouraged to adopt the use of audio-visual aided instruction in teaching and learning of fractions in mathematics to improve students’ interest and achievement in the subject.

Abstract Background Motivation is critical for supporting persistence and achievement in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines. In this study, we focus on the assessment of mathematics motivation among secondary school students. We provide validity and reliability evidence for the Mathematics Motivation Questionnaire (MMQ)—adapted from the Science Motivation Questionnaire designed for college students—using data from 2551 secondary students from seven states across the United States. Results Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses confirmed five latent factors of the MMQ indicated by 19 items: intrinsic value, self-regulation, self-efficacy, utility value, and test anxiety. The nonlinear SEM reliability coefficients of the five constructs ranged from 0.76 to 0.91. To assess criterion validity, analyses using a subset of the data that included students’ mathematics standardized scores (n = 536) indicated that intrinsic value, self-regulation, and self-efficacy were significantly positively correlated with mathematics achievement, whereas test anxiety was significantly negatively correlated with mathematics achievement. Conclusions The MMQ provides a reliable, valid, and feasible measure of the specific factors underlying mathematics motivation among secondary students.
