Effect of Use Interactive Learning Media environment-based on Academic Performance of Basic Science and Technology Student. Annals of Technology Practitioner Association of Nigeria

Abstract

Abstract: The study adopted a quasi-experimental research design. The research was guided by four research questions and four null hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance. The target population was all senior secondary school 2 basic science and technology students in Bosso Local government which, 6/7(324 Senior Secondary School 2 Basic Science and Technology students in Bosso Local males and 2.913females) in the 2020/2021 academic session. Purposive sampling teeny Secondary six senior secondary schools that mis used for the study out of 2 senior secondary school in Bosso Local Government Area of Niger State. Simple random sampling randomly assign the schools into two groups. Two instrument was used for data collection in survey included: Basic Science and Technology Achievement Test (BSTAT) and Interactive Leaning Media Environment-based. Pearson product moment correlation coefficient was used to determine the internal consistence and reliability coefficient index and this gave r =0872. The research questions were answered using mean and standard deviation while the hypotheses one, two, three and four was tested using T-test with Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 21. The finding of the study revealed that students taught Basic Science and Technology using Interactive Learning Media Environment-based, performed better than those taught using conventional method. There was statistically significant difference in the achievement scores of Basic Science and Technology students taught using Interactive Learning Media Environment-based and conventional instructional strategies at 0.05 level of significance, and there was no statistically significant difference in the achievement and retention test scores of male and female Basic Science and Technology students when taught using Interactive Learning Media Environment-based. The researcher there by recommends that teachers should be encouraged to use Interactive Learning Media Environment-based to teach Science and, Technology in secondary schools since it has been proven to be effective for learning most 25 teaching Basic Science and Technology and curriculum developers should incorporate the use of instructional facilities like Interactive Learning Media Environment-based at all level of education so as to improve students' academic performances and retention
