dc.description.abstractThe fluctuating academic performance of students in science is worrisome. Particularly achievement in Ecology has been a pointer to students’ achievement in Biology and of great concern to educationists as reported by the chief examiners report of West African Examination Council over the years. Previous works investigated factors such as teachers’ quality, Laboratory facilities, teachers’ attitude, teaching methods among others in different parts of the country but not many had combined some of these factors in a single study. This study investigated the Effects of two mode of Multimedia Instructional Strategies on Senior Secondary School Biology students’ achievement in Ecology in the Abeokuta Metropolis, Nigeria. Quasi-experimental research design was used. 202 SS2 Biology students out of 5870 were selected through multistage sampling procedure participated in the study across three local government areas. A purposive sampling technique was used to select three (3) public schools. Instruments for data collection were: Ecology Achievement Test (EAT)(r=0.72), Ecology Situational Interest Scale (ESIS)(r=0.85). Data were analysed using frequency, percentage, mean and Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) at 0.05 level of significance. The results revealed that there was a significant main effect of treatment on students’ achievement in Ecology aspect of Biology (F(2,189) = 40.510, p < 0.05). There was a significant main effect of Interactive Video Variation on student academic achievement in Ecology (F(1,108) = 36.504, p < 0.05). There was a significant main effect of Virtual Field Trips strategy on students’ achievement in the Ecology aspect of Biology (F(1, 157) = 62.511, p < 0.05). There was a significant main effect of situational interest on students’ achievement in Ecology in Biology (F (1,189) =4.859, p < 0.05). There was no significant main effect of gender on students achievement in Ecology. There was no significant interaction effects of treatments and gender on students’ achievement in Ecology in Biology (F (1,189) =0.232 , p>0.05); there was no significant interaction effects of treatment and level of situational interest on students’ achievement in Ecology (F (1,189) = 0.502, p > 0.05); there was no significant interaction effects of Gender and level of situational interest on students’ achievement in the Ecology (F (1,189) = 1.996, p > 0.05); there was no significant interaction effects of treatment, gender and situational interest on students’ achievement in Ecology(F(2, 189) = 1.383 , p > 0.05). The study concluded that Interactive Video Variations and Virtual Field Trips are more effective strategies for teaching Ecology. It was recommended among others that teachers should use Interactive Video Variation and Virtual Field Trips regularly so as to enhance students’ understanding and retention of ecological concepts.] Keywords: Interactive Video Variation, Virtual Field Trips, Ecology, Gender, Situational Interest Word Count: 427
