Effect Of Community Resources On Students’ Academic Performance In Biology
The Effect Of Community Resources On Students’ Academic Performance In Biology Project Material
Abstract
This study examined the effect of community resources on students academic performance in biology in secondary schools in Uyo Metropolis Akwa Ibom state Nigeria. A descriptive research method was adopted. A sample of 10 principals, 10 Biology teachers and 100 students was drawn from a target population of 1222 respondents. Data was collected using interview schedule for Principals and questionnaires were used to collect data from teachers and students. Information was collected from twenty two secondary schools in Akwa Ibom Metropolis. Descriptive statistics in form of percentages, frequencies, tables and ranks were used to analyse data. Major finding of this study were that community resources were not regularly used in Nigerian secondary schools due to constraints of time, finance etc. The study also revealed that the respondents were conversant with community resources in their Metropolis. From the findings teachers should try as much as possible to use community resources in teaching Biology. This will improve the quality of instruction in schools and ensure student active involvement in life-like learning activities.
Airms and Objectives
The following research objectives guided this study.
- To find out the different types of community resources in usewhen teaching Biology in secondary schools.
- To ascertain how often community resources are used by Biology teachers while teaching.
- To identify factors that inhibits the use of community resources in teaching Biology at the secondary school level in Uyo Metropolis, Akwa Ibom state.
- To propose intervention measures towards improving use of community resources in teaching Biology in secondary schools.
Research Questions
The study was guided by the following research questions:
- What community resources are in use in teaching Biology in secondary schools in Uyo, Akwa Ibom state?
- How often do you use community resources in teaching Biology in secondary schools
- What factors inhibit the use of community resources in teaching biology in secondary schools?
- What intervention measures should be taken towards improving the use of community resources in teaching Biology?
