    (Lead City University Ibadan, 2025-12) Rebecca Iyabo OGUNRINDE
    Chief Examiner’s reports of WAEC highlight persistent challenges, particularly in Ecology, where students struggle with critical thinking, analytical reasoning, and real-world application of biological concepts. This study determined the Effects of Team and Project-based learning strategies on senior secondary school students' achievement in Ecology in the Abeokuta Metropolis, Nigeria. Four hypotheses were formulated and tested at 0.05 level of significance. The pretest–posttest control group quasi–experimental design was adopted. The study population comprises 3,680 SS II students (1,706 male and 1,974 female students); from which, a total of 91 participants (44 male and 47 female students) from the three randomly selected schools participated in this study. Ecology Achievement Test (EAT) (KR-20 = 0.76) and Instructional Guides for Teaching and Learning Ecology were used as instruments for data collection. Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) was used for data analysis. There was a significant main effect of Team–based learning strategy on senior secondary school students’ achievement in Ecology (F(1; 55) = 160.770, p < 0.05, partial η² =0.745). There was significant main effect of Project-based learning strategy on senior secondary school students’ achievement in Ecology (F(1;57) = 79.050, p < 0.05, partial η² = 0.581). There was no significant main effect of gender on senior secondary school students’ achievement in Ecology (F(1; 88) = 0.002, p > 0.05, partial η² = 0.000). There was significant interaction effect of Team–based learning strategy, Project-based learning strategy and gender on senior secondary school students’ achievement in Ecology (F(5;84) = 40.191, p < 0.05, partial η² = 0.705). Based on the findings, the study concludes that Team based and Project-based Strategies enhanced students’ achievement. The study recommends the adoption of these innovative strategies in teaching Ecology to promote better academic outcomes among senior secondary school students regardless of gender differences.

    It has been observed that student's academic performance in Biology has not improved over the years in Nigeria Tertiary institutions. It has been a major concern for lecturers to know the cause for the low performance and the solutions to the cause. To this effect, this study was carried out to determine the influence of internet addiction on the academic performance of biology students in tertiary institutions in Odeda Local Government Area of Ogun State. The research design was a descriptive research whereby a self-designed questionnaire of 150 copies was used to elicit information from the respondents (n=150). three hypotheses were stated to guide the study. The research Data was analysed using Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC) and was tested at p< 0.05.Results of this study revealed that internet addiction statistically and significantly influenced students' academic performance. It was therefore recommended that it is vital for parents to scrutinize their children internet use in order to curb its excessive use
