  • Effects of Pre-Theoretic Intuition Quiz and Puzzle
    EFFECTS OF PRE-THEORETIC INTUITION QUIZ AND PUZZLE-BASED CRITICAL THINKING MOTIVATION STRATEGIES ON STUDENTS’ LEARNING OUTCOMES IN SELECTED ENVIRONMENT-RELATED CONCEPTS IN BIOLOGY. BY OGUNDIWIN , OLUYEMI AKINLEYE MATRIC NO: 54489 B.SC (Agronomy); PGDE; M.Ed (Ibadan) A THESIS TO THE DEPARTMENT OF TEACHER EDUCATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF EDUCATION IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (PH. D) IN SCIENCE EDUCATION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF IBADAN UNIVERSITY OF IBADAN LIBRARY 2013 i ABSTRACT The traditional instructional strategy employed by most biology teachers in teaching environment-related concepts have resulted in low learning outcomes. Two strategies have been proved in literature to have exposed students to a higher thinking order needed to recognise assumptions, evaluate controversies, and scrutinise inferences in alleviating the problem of low students‘ learning outcomes in biology, but they have not been utilised in the teaching of environmental concept in biology. This study, therefore, examined the effects of Pre-Theoretic Intuition Quiz (PTI) and Puzzle-Based Learning (PBL) on students learning outcomes in selected environment-related concepts in biology. The pretest-posttest control group quasi-experimental design with 3x2x2 factorial matrix was adopted. Four hundred and fifty one SS2 students from nine purposively selected senior secondary schools in three local government areas of Oyo State were used for the study. The schools were randomly assigned to experimental (PTI and PBL) and control (MCS) groups and the treatment lasted 14 weeks. Eight instruments were used: Instructional Guides for teachers; Students‘ Environmental Achievement Test (r=0.80), Students‘ Environmental Attitude Scale (r=0.81), Students‘ Environmental Practices Scale (r=0.82), Cognitive Style Test (r=0.81) and Assessment Sheet for evaluating research assistants.
