Influence Of Multimedia Resources on Academic Performance of Biology Students in Senior Secondary Schools in Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Local Government Area, Rivers State.
Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Biology
Abstract
The study focused on the influence of multimedia resources on academic performance of biology students in Senior Secondary schools in Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Local Government Area, Rivers State. The study was guided by three research questions. A descriptive research design was adopted. 5,620 from four randomly sampled private schools make up the population of the study with a sampled size of 562 students. Data was collected using a self-structured questionnaire titled: Influence of Multimedia Resources on Student?s Performance in Biology (IMRSPB) and a checklist to assess the resources availability. The instrument was validated by experts in Science Education. Reliability coefficient of 0.75 was determined using cronbach alpha to test the internal consistency. The findings revealed that multimedia resources positively influenced students understanding particularly in enhancing their performance in Biology. The study also revealed insufficient availability and low utilization of multimedia resources in senior Secondary schools in Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Local Government Area, Rivers State to maximize teaching and learning benefits. It was therefore recommended based on the findings that science teachers generally, and Biology teachers in particular should utilize multimedia resources to enhance effective teaching and learning which will subsequently increase students performance. School administration should endeavour to provide multimedia resources for science and Biology Teachers.
