Impact Of Cooperative Learning Enriched With Analogy On Retention And Performance In Ecology Among Secondary School Slow Learners, Kano State, Nigeria

📄 Project Abstract

The study investigated the impact of cooperative learning enriched with analogy on retention and performance among secondary schools ecology slow learners in Dawakin Kudu Education Zone, Kano State Nigeria. The study adopted a pretest, posttest quasi experimental control group design. The population consisted of 5145 SS2 biology students made up of 3362 males and 1783 females. Stratified random sampling technique was used to select the sample due to gender difference in senior secondary schools in Kano state. Four schools were randomly selected using balloting method which involved picking from the container, two were females' schools and two were males' schools. One hundred and twenty (120) identified slow learners were purposively selected from the four sampled schools. 60 students were in the control group taught using lecture method; while 60 students were in the experimental group and taught using enriched cooperative learning strategy. The two groups were taught ecology concepts ...
