      abstract = {The study investigated the effect of Gagne?s hierarchical learning strategy on the academic achievement of chemistry students among senior secondary school students in Obio/Akpor local government area of Rivers State Nigeria. The design of the study was quasi-experimental, specifically pretest, posttest control experimental group design. The population of the study consists of all the SSII Chemistry students. The sample size was ninety?eight students via simple random sampling technique. There were 47 students in the experimental group and 51 students in the control group. Two research questions and two hypotheses guided the study. Chemistry Achievement Test (CAT) was the instrument used for data collection. At the end of the treatment, study subjects were post-tested. which is a 30 multiple choice objective test questions which were well-validated and had a reliability co-efficient of 0.90 on the Cronbach alpha technique were administered to the students in the two groups before and after the application of the teaching strategies on the two groups. Mean, standard deviation, and t-test were the statistical tools used for data analysis to determine any significant difference in their academic performance in the experimental group. The results indicated that the performance of students taught electrolysis using Gagne hierarchical learning strategy was significantly better. Students? gender had no significant effect on their performance in chemistry when Gagne?s hierarchical learning strategy is used. Based on the findings the study, therefore, recommends among others, in-service training for science teachers in form of seminars, workshops, and conferences that should focus more on how to use the Gagne hierarchical learning strategy for the teaching of Chemistry concepts. In addition, the use of lecture method by science teachers should be minimized and done with caution to avoid underachievement and negative attitudes among science students toward Chemistry.},
