Rivers State

The study looked at the influence of gender on interest and achievement of integrated Science students in Obio Akpor local government area of Rivers State. Two research questions and two hypotheses were raised, the population comprised of all secondary school students in the local government area and a total of 600 students took part in the study. Two instruments were used to collect data: the test scores and a likert scale like interest scale. Mean, standard deviation and t-test were used to analyse the data. The findings showed that gender has a significant influence on the interest but does not have a significant influence on achievement of Integrated Science students. It was recommended: that Integrated Science teachers should teach in such a way as to rouse the interest of the students, students should be self motivated, find joy in learning in order to excel.

PurposeThis action research project determines the extent to which the authors were able to expand ideas of both citizen and scientist through their integrated science and social studies middle childhood methods course.Design/methodology/approachApplying the ideas of citizen science, students in the course developed inquiry projects of their choice centering on the topic of local and global water issues. In addition, students participated in book groups focusing on the ideas of citizen science explicitly. The researchers used surveys, student assessments and interviews to assess the extent to which students' ideas changed.FindingsWhile the data reveal the students' conceptions of scientist and citizen both expanded, there was greater change in their conceptions of what it means to be a scientist.Originality/valueThe authors argue that the expansion of ideas of science is important for enacting critical citizenship.

A new, NSF-supported, General Education (GE) science curriculum, synthesizes and unifies the key theories and evidence of seven natural sciences using natural systems processes as Integrative Themes. The considerably reformulated subject matter is completely built on interdisciplinary concepts and methods fundamental to newly emerging cross-disciplinary fields like bioastronomy. The year of ISGE study incorporates 15 built-in computer based multimedia features and 10 special learning features to help non-science students learn more science, faster, and with better understanding. Results from seven test course offerings are reported. ISGE intends to be an initial example of the “living, evolving” knowledge bases needed for a space-faring species.
