Bridging the Gap in Learning Differences Among Biology Students Using 4 mode Application Techniques

Abstract

This study is on bridging the gap in learning differences among biology students using 4MAT Application Techniques. We carried out the study in Abakaliki, Nigeria. We adopted a quasi-experimental design for the study. We used 138 SS-II students from two schools. Moreover, two hypotheses were tested. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Hierarchical Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA). The results showed that there was a significant main effect of instructional method on student’s achievement in biology F (7,121) =12.654, p=0.000, partial η2=0.39; there was no significant main effect of gender on student’s achievement in biology F (1,121)=1.240, p=0.268, partial η2=0.004. We highlighted the educational implications of the findings and the recommendations. We also made some limitations of the study and suggestions for further studies.
