The study investigated Comparative Effectiveness of Virtual Laboratory Instructional Package in Teaching Chemistry in Private and Public Secondary Schools in Ondo State, Nigeria. The purpose of the study was to compare the performance of students in chemistry in both private and public secondary schools in Ondo state using Virtual Laboratory Instructional Package. The study adopted the quasi-experimental pretest/posttest control group design. The sample for the study consisted of 183 senior secondary school two (SSSII) science students that were selected across the three senatorial districts of Ondo state using multistage sampling techniques. Two groups were involved in the study; the experimental group and the control group. The students in the experimental group were exposed to virtual laboratory instructional package while the control group was taught chemistry with the conventional method. One instrument; Chemistry Achievement Test was used to collect data for the study. The reliability of the instrument was ascertained through test-re-test method and the reliability index of 0.75 was obtained for the instrument. Hypotheses 1, 2 and 3 were tested with Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA). However, Multiple Classifications Analysis (MCA) was used to identify the variable that contributed to the difference among groups. All the hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance. The findings of the study showed that students exposed to Chemistry practical through virtual laboratory Instructional package in private secondary schools performed significantly better than their counterparts in public secondary schools. It was also found from the study that, gender has no effects on student’s performance in public secondary schools meanwhile; there was gender difference in the performance of students in private secondary schools in favour of female students. Based on the findings, it was recommended that Government at all levels should endeavour to provide information and communication facilities like computer based instructional package in schools to teach chemistry and such must be made accessible to all students, so as to promote interactive and individualized learning among secondary school students.

This study examined the impact of cognitive restructuring and token economy techniques on the reduction of truancy among secondary school students in Lagos State, Nigeria. The study adopted a pre-test, post-test, control group design with a multistage sampling technique as the sampling method. Judgmental sampling technique was used to select two from the six Education Districts in Lagos State, simple random sampling technique was adopted to select six schools; three schools from each of the two Education Districts and 170 truants out of the 216 randomly selected based on the class attendance register completed the study. Truancy Behaviour Questionnaire (TBQ) with a reliability index of .87 was the instrument for the study. Data were analysed and presented with descriptive and ANOVA statistics at .05 level of significance. Findings showed that the two techniques were effective for the reduction of truancy but the token economy technique had a better effect. Sex had no significant effect on the reduction of truancy but females play truants more than males. Based on the findings, the token economy therapy was recommended as an ideal technique for counselling and guiding students against truancy.

Abstract The GI-GI learning model is a combination of the Group Investigation and the Guided Inquiry model. The research aimed to examine the effect of the GI-GI learning model on collaboration and students’ science process skills. The type of research carried out was Quasi-Experimental and used a post-test only control group design and purposive sampling covering four high schools in the Besuki Residency, two classes as the experimental class and the control class. The research instrument used tests, observations, and documentation. The results showed a significant effect of the GI-GI learning model on collaboration and students’ science process skills. This research implies that the GI-GI learning model can condition students to research in groups to interact actively with friends and educators to exchange opinions, knowledge, or experiences, find and solve problems, and hypothesize through investigation, exploration, and discussion outside or inside in class.
