COMPUTER-BASED LABORATORY SIMULATION (CBLS): AN EFFECTIVE INSTRUCTIONAL APPROACH FOR ELECTROCHEMISTRY LESSONS AND RIVERS STATE STUDENT ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE IN CHEMISTRY
Abstract
Computer-Based Laboratory Simulation (CBLS) as an effective instructional approach for electro-chemistry lessons and Rivers State students’ academic performance in chemistry was investigated in this study. Quasi experimental research design was adopted for the study. The purposive sampling technique was used to select Emohua local government area out of the nine (9) local government areas in Rivers State central educational zone in Rivers State. Simple random sampling by balloting was used to select four (4) senior secondary schools out of the eighteen (18) schools inn Emohua local government area that participated in the study. The non-ramdomized sampling was used to obtain a sample size of one hundred (100) SS2 chemistry students comprising 55 males and 45 females that participated in the study. The chemistry performance test instruction was used to collect data for the study. The data collected were analysed by using mean and standard deviation to answer all the research questions while analysis of covariance was used to test the hypothese at .05 level of significance. The study found that, there is significant difference between the mean performance of students exposed to CBLS in chemistry and those taught using lecture method, P<.05. Gender had no significant effect on academic performance of students taught by both CBLS and lecturer method, P>.05. The study recommends that chemistry teachers should often CBLS to enhance higher performance of students in chemistry.
