The conventional approach to teaching has led to poor performance of students in chemistry and some other subjects. Research has shown that students would learn better should they participate in the teaching-learning process. This study determined the effectiveness of hypermedia and multimedia learning strategies in the academic performance of chemistry students in Osogbo, Nigeria. The pre-test, post-test, control group quasi-experimental design was adopted for this study. Forty students from four schools within the Osogbo central area in Nigeria participated in this study. The instruments used for data collection were: Hypermedia Instructional Package, Multimedia Package and Chemistry Students Achievement Test. Three null hypotheses were tested at 0.05 significance level. Data collected were analyzed using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA). Treatment had a significant effect on chemistry students’ post-test achievement scores. Students exposed to learning strategies performed better, with higher adjusted post-test mean score, in comparison with their counterparts who were not exposed to any of the two learning strategies.
Skuteczność wykorzystania hipermediów i multimedialnych strategii uczenia się na poziomie akademickim studentów chemii w Nigerii
Konwencjonalne podejście do nauczania doprowadziło do słabych wyników uczniów w zakresie chemii i niektórych innych przedmiotów. Badania wykazały, że uczniowie uczyliby się lepiej, gdyby uczestniczyli w procesie nauczania i uczenia się. Badania te określiły skuteczność hipermedialnych i multimedialnych strategii uczenia się w osiągnięciach akademickich studentów chemii w Osogbo w Nigerii. Do tego badania przyjęto projekt pre-test, post-test, grupy kontrolnej quasi-eksperymentalnej. W badaniu tym wzięło udział czterdziestu studentów z czterech szkół z centralnego obszaru Osogbo w Nigerii. Do zbierania danych wykorzystano następujące narzędzia: Hipermedia Instructional Package, Multimedia Package oraz Test Osiągnięć Uczniów Chemii. Trzy hipotezy zerowe zostały przetestowane na poziomie istotności 0,05. Zebrane dane analizowano za pomocą Analizy Kowariancji (ANCOVA). Postępowanie terapeutyczne miało istotny wpływ na wyniki studentów chemii po teście. Uczniowie poddani działaniu strategii uczenia się osiągali lepsze wyniki, z wyższymi skorygowanymi średnimi wynikami z testów, w porównaniu z ich odpowiednikami, którzy nie byli poddani żadnej z dwóch strategii uczenia się.
