“…Also, they view learning the discipline as enjoyable and interesting. This conforms with Martey [40] that the students' high perception is influenced by their recognition of social sciences as a potential factor in developing their nationalism, patriotism, and understanding of their rights and responsibilities as citizens. Further, most students believe that through this subject, they learn to connect with themselves, society, and the world [41].…”

Aims: This paper assessed the motivation and perception of Grade 12 public school students in learning social science during the pandemic. It also investigated the difference in their motivation and perception. Study Design: Descriptive-comparative design. Place and Duration of Study: School Division of a Component City in Northern Negros Occidental, between January 2021 to July 2022. Methodology: The study utilized the descriptive-comparative design. The study was assessed by 436 stratified randomly sampled students. The assessments were gathered using the modified motivation and perception questionnaires. In analyzing the data, mean, standard deviation, Mann Whitney, and Kruskal Wallis were employed. Results: Generally, the motivation (M=3.83, SD= 0.67) shows an agreeable result. The extrinsic goal orientation (M=4.15, SD= 0.88) is rated highest with an agreeable result, and social engagement (M=3.46, SD= 0.92) is the lowest with a neutral result. Meanwhile, they have agreeable perceptions (M=3.69, SD= 0.65) with perceived value (M=3.79, SD= 0.79) as highest and perceived teachers' attitude (M=3.46, SD= 0.89) as lowest. Moreover, there was no difference in their motivation when group according to sex [U=21954.5, p=0.721] and track [U=22104.0, p=0.875]. While a significant difference in academic performance [χ2(4)=53.069, p=0.000]. In terms of perception, it found no difference when grouped according to sex [U=22309.0, p=0.771] and track [U=22163.0, p=0.912]. While a significant difference in academic performance [χ2(4)=32.042, p=0.000]. Conclusion: The study implies the need to address students' motivation and perception issues to ensure their quality learning of social science.

“…Previous studies also suggested that elementary and secondary school pupils view the operation on electricity or the presence of a complex nature as a prerequisite for a technical system (Kumari & Saraladevi, 2014). The high school pupils between the ages of 15 and 17 included in our study were, like previous participants, inclined to think that a technical system should not be controlled manually, but certainly electrically.…”

In the Netherlands there is an interest in implementing engineering as part of K-12 general education. In order to know what the pupils' perception of the system concept at that level is, research into that was conducted. This study was not only carried out in the Netherlands in six schools across the country, but for comparison also in Turkey in six schools across the country. During the qualitative preparation of the research, the pupils were asked to describe what a technical system is according to them. In the quantitative main part of the study, pupils were asked to respond to 44 True/False statements in which they could indicate what a technical system is. Factor analysis has been performed to reveal the dimensions of the concept of systems that the pupils have in their minds. In contrast to studies among pupils of the lower secondary school, a clear concept about a technical system was found. The differences between male and female respondents with regard to the concept of the system, found in lower secondary education, were also found in upper secondary education. This is in contrast with what was found for the concept of engineering. The predominant knowledge of pupils with regard to the concept of the system indicated a reasonable image of technology, depending on whether it is taught in a school subject.

“…With the right instructional materials, such as a thermometer for measuring temperature, and a microscope for viewing very small objects and organisms, the students may be able to grasp the full scope of the concepts in the subject. Instructional materials help teachers to meet individual differences of the learners in the class by using different teaching aids that suit the different senses of the learners (Nartey, 2018). Instructional materials are used to supplement verbal explanations of different concepts or descriptions so that the lesson can be real to the students.…”

The study was carried out to investigate the relationship between availability of instructional aids and students’ interest in studying physics in secondary school. This research was conducted using physics students in public senior secondary schools in Oredo Local Government Area of Edo State, Nigeria. The specific purpose of the study was to find out the instructional aids that are available for teaching physics in secondary schools. It also investigated if the deployment of these materials in teaching physics influenced the interest of secondary school students in learning different topics in physics. The study utilized the correlation design while the population comprised all SS II students who offered physics in public senior secondary schools in Oredo Local Government Area of Edo state with a total number of 1,223. Out of the population, 123 physics students, that is 10%, were selected using the simple random sampling technique, and this formed the sample of the study. The instrument used for this study was a questionnaire which elicited the respondents’ biodata, checklist of instructional aids for teaching physics and items designed to measure students’ interest. Mean, percentage, standard deviation and Pearson product Moment Correlation were the statistics used for analyzing the data generated. Findings showed that most of the instructional materials needed by the teacher for effective teaching of physics were available but not functioning; the students used for the study had high level of interest in learning the different topics in physics. However, it found that there was no significant relationship between availability of instructional aids and students’ interest in studying of physics in public senior secondary schools in the area of study. As a sequel to the findings of the study, it was recommended that government and school administrators should provide teachers with instructional materials relevant to the teaching of physics in senior secondary schools in Edo State; teachers should regularly deploy instructional materials when teaching physics in senior secondary schools in Edo State. Finally, teachers are encouraged to design simple instructional aids that could be used as alternatives for teaching relevant topics in physics in senior secondary schools in Edo State in the absence of standard teaching devices.
