Effect of Contextual Teaching Learning Approach on Students’ Retention in Chemistry in Secondary Schools in Anambra State
Journal Title: International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development - Year 2021, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
The study investigated the effect of contextual teaching learning approach CTLA on chemistry students’ academic retention in secondary schools in Anambra State, Nigeria. A pre test, posttest quasi experimental design was used involving a sample of 130 students drawn from six education zones in the state. The instrument known as contextual learning chemistry retention test CLCRT , validated by two experts with a reliability coefficient of 0.84 was used for data collection. Two research questions and two hypotheses guided the study. Mean and standard deviation were used to answer the research questions, while t test was used to test the null hypotheses at P 0.05. The result revealed that CTLA had significant effect on students’ academic retention in chemistry. Finding implies there is need for chemistry teachers should adopt the use of contextual teaching learning approach to improve the performance of students in chemistry.
