    Effects of the Use of Instructional Materials on Senior Secondary School Students’ Achievement in Biology in Oyo town, Oyo State
    (Lead City University, Ibadan, 2024-12) Saudat Titilope ADEYANJU
    The abstract nature of respiratory physiology, combined with limited hands-on experiences and interactive learning opportunities, impedes students' understanding and retention of crucial concepts. Furthermore, the inadequate access to high-quality instructional materials exacerbates the issue, leaving students without sufficient resources to supplement their classroom learning. This study therefore determined the effects of standardised and improvised instructional materials on the academic achievement of Senior Secondary School Biology students in respiratory system topics in Oyo town, Nigeria. This study was guided by 11 hypotheses. The study was also grounded on constructivist and cognitive theories and adopted the pretest-posttest quasi experimental research design of 3x2 factorial matrix. The study population consisted of 13,716 senior secondary school students in the Oyo town. The purposive sampling technique was employed to select three intact classes of 149 SSS 11 students. Biology Achievement Test (BAT) (KR20 =0.8) was used as instrument for data collection. The data were analysed using ANCOVA at a significant level of 0.05. Result from the findings showed [F(1;144) = 46.627; P-value < 0 .05], significant effects of improvised instructional materials on academic achievement of Senior Secondary School Biology students in respiratory system [F(1;144) = 50.939; P-value < 0. 05], significant effects of standardised instructional materials on academic achievement of Senior Secondary School Biology students in respiratory system [F(1;144) =1.448; P >0.05], significant effect of conventional method on academic achievement of Senior Secondary School Biology students in respiratory system [F(1;144) =3.034; P- value >0.05], no significant effects of gender on academic achievement of Senior Secondary School Biology students in respiratory system and [F(1;134) = 0.620; p> 0.05] ], no significant effects of improvised instructional materials, standardised instructional materials and gender on academic achievement of Senior Secondary School Biology students in respiratory system. Additionally, the absence of significant gender differences suggests that both male and female students benefited equally from the instructional approaches employed. These results underscore the importance of integrating diverse instructional strategies to improve learning environments in science education. The study offered practical implications for educators, curriculum developers, and teacher training programmes, emphasising the need for a blended approach that combines standardized and improvised resources to improve educational outcomes.

    Impact of Internet Addiction on Academic Performance of Biology Students in Tertiary Institutions in Odeda Local Government Area of Ogun State
    (Lead City University Ibadan, 2023) Rebecca Iyabo OGUNRINDE; Saudat Titilope ADEYANJU; Damilola Jumoke IBIYEMI
    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
