“…This could be attributed to students' familiarisation with Arabic studies right from their early stage. The finding aligns with the submission of Ajidagba (2002), Ibrahim (2008), Yusuf (2018) and Jimba(2021), that if students were exposed to Arabic scripts (texts) right from the primary school level, they would be able to read and write both the Qur'an and Hadith correctly in their original Arabic text, at the senior secondary level. This finding is also in line with the submission of Salisu (2015), Saadu (2017), andYahaya (2018).…”

Despite the fact that the certificates being awarded by senior school WAEC and NECO are said to be comparable, yet, stakeholders in the education sector doubt their correspondence in terms of students’ learning outcomes. While some students only register for NECO believing that they could not pass WAEC. This was part of what necessitated this study by determining the correspondence between students’ learning outcomes in senior school WAEC and NECO Arabic Language examinations in North-central from 2015 to 2019 academic sessions. This study was a descriptive study of the correlational type. Only the results of candidates that sat for WAEC and NECO Arabic Language examinations were logically selected for this study via a researcher-designed proforma. Thus, 948 students constituted the sample size for this study using a multistage sampling procedure. Data collected were analyzed using the percentage to answer the research questions while the Pearson’s chi-square at 0.05 alpha level was used to test the hypotheses. Findings indicated that a significant association existed between students’ learning outcomes in WAEC and NECO Arabic examinations in North-central Nigeria. It was therefore recommended that teachers of Arabic should work harder to sustain their students’ performance in Arabic Language.

“…The reliability coefficient of 0.83 was obtained, and this judged the instrument as reliable and consistent for the study. This is in line with the assertion of Spiegel (1992) in Yusuf (2018) who posited that an instrument is reliable if its reliability coefficient is between 0.5 and 1.…”

The contents of senior secondary education curricula in Nigeria are rich and the objectives are attainable, but there are some short falls in the implementation process. This led to suboptimal academic performance by the majority of Economics students at the senior secondary school level that has largely been cited to be the consequences of ineffective teaching methods applied by teachers. Consequently, the objectives of the study were: to examine the effect of heuristic approach on students' performance in Economics in senior secondary schools in Kano State and ascertain the effects of heuristic approach on students' retention ability in Economics in senior secondary schools in Kano State. Two null hypotheses were formulated in line with these objectives. The design for this research was quasi-experimental. The population of the study was the entire students of Senior Secondary Schools Two (SSII) in Kano State that are offering Economics. The One hundred and twenty-seven (127) SSII Economics students found intact in two (2) senior secondary schools in the Dawakin-Kudu zone, was the sample size for this study. The instrument used for data gathering for both post-test and retention-test in this research was Economics Performance Test (ECOPERTES). The null hypotheses were tested using t-test at 0.05 level of` significance. Findings revealed that: heuristic approach is effective for teaching Economics in senior secondary schools in Kano State. Moreover, students taught Economics using heuristic approach retained knowledge. It was recommended that the Federal and the State Government, the professional bodies like the Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria (TRCN) and the Economics Teachers Associations should sensitize Economics teachers (through seminars and workshops) on the efficacy of heuristic approach in teaching Economics. Inspectors from Kano Educational Resource Department (KERD) and Nigerian Educational Research and Development Council (NERDC) should encourage the Economics teachers to use heuristic approach in teaching Economics in senior secondary schools because the approach will help them to elicit the expected learning in Economics easily. The Government, in conjunction with curriculum developers and Economics teachers, should establish Economics resource centers in each educational zone of the State for the procurement and storage of relevant heuristic approach instructional materials.
