“…This finding is consistent with Adesoji (2008), who found out that acceptable methods of instruction are capable of changing students' attitude towards chemistry. Similarly, Kususanto, Fui and Hooi (2012), also found out that teachers expectancy affected students' attitude towards science.…”

“…For example, Adesoji (2008) investigated whether the attitude towards problem solving in chemistry would change when students are exposed to different teaching methods in Osun State of Nigeria. The result showed that there was no significant difference in the attitude of the three groups towards solving problems on electrolysis before the treatment.…”

“…Providing access to appropriate learning experiences, designed to broaden skills and knowledge can increase productivity and significantly improve the fortunes of the unemployed, thereby reducing poverty and unemployment amongst the youth (Adesoji, 2008). It is as a result of the recognition given to Chemistry in the development of the individual and the nation that it has been made a core pre-requisite subject for offering most science oriented courses in the tertiary institutions and this calls for the need in teaching it effectively.…”

“…The literature has pointed out that the quality of science teaching is of vital importance to promote learners' positive attitudes toward science. The kind of activities and the classroom environment can enhance the learners' attitudes toward science (Adesoji 2008;Osborne 2003;Schibeci and Fraser 1987). We observed that chemical marbling can create a more pleasant learning atmosphere.…”

“…Many factors could contribute to student's attitude towards studying basic science and mathematics. Several studies including Berg (2005) and Adesoji,(2008) reported that students' positive attitudes to basic science correlate highly with their performance, that, in general, the attitude of Nigeria students towards the basic sciences tend to decrease in the order, Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics. They also found that using integrated science environment activities improved high school student attitude and awareness about the environment.…”

Investigating the effects of cooperative learning as an instructional strategy for teaching basic science and mathematics to junior secondary school students in Katsina state was the focus of this study. Equally, it also looked at how gender affect students' performance and attitude in basic science and mathematics when cooperative learning was used as an instructional strategy. Quasi-experimental design was used in the study with 240 students as sample selected purposively. Cooperative Learning Guide (CLG), Basic Science and Mathematics Performance Test (BSMPT) and Students' Attitude to Science and Mathematics Questionnaire (SASMQ) were used as instruments for data collection. Reliability indices of 0.78 for BSMPT and 0.79 for SASMQ were obtained using split haft method and Cronbach alpha respectively. Analysis of the data was done using, t-test and Pearson Product Moment Correlation Co-efficient. Findings of the study revealed that students taught using cooperative learning strategy performed higher than those taught using inquiry learning strategy; there was an insignificant difference in performance between the male and female students in the cooperative learning group. The students in cooperative learning group show a more positive attitude towards basic science and mathematics than those in inquiry classroom learning. On the bases of these findings, it was recommended that cooperative learning strategy be adopted by all secondary school Basic Science and Mathematics teachers as an effective learning strategy in order to improve students' performance and positive attitude towards science and mathematic
