EFFECT OF IMPROVISED INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS ON STUDENTS’ ACHIEVEMENT AND INTEREST IN LONGITUDE AND LATITUDE
Abstract:-The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of improvised instructional materials on students’ achievement and interest in Longitude and Latitude. The influence of gender on the achievement and interest of the students taught with improvised instructional material (Frame of a Sphere) was also considered. Four research questions and six null hypotheses guided the study. A non-equivalent control group of quasiexperimental design was used for the study. The simple random sampling technique was used to select two schools from Olamaboro Local Government Area of Kogi State, Nigeria. Each of the schools was assigned to control and experimental groups. Two intact classes from each of the schools were used for the study. Two instruments – Longitude and Latitude Achievement Test (LLAT) and Longitude and Latitude Interest Scale (LLIS) were used. Mean and standard deviation were used to answer research questions and ANCOVA was used to test the hypotheses. The study revealed that the use of improvised instructional materials increases the students’ achievement and interest. Based on the findings, it was recommended that Mathematics teachers should endeavour to use improvised instructional materials since it enhances the achievement and interest of students.
