The study was undertaken to examine the effect of metacognitive teaching strategies on secondary school students’ performance in chemistry. The study adopted pretest post test quasi experimental design. Three hundred and sixty senior secondary school II (SSII) chemistry students were drawn from three secondary school in Obio/Akpor Local Government of Rivers State Nigeria. Three research questions and three hypotheses were posed for the study. The instrument for data collection was a twenty five-item multiple choice chemistry achievement test (CAT) developed by the researcher. Students were divided into two experimental groups and one control group. Students in the experimental groups were subjected to treatment using thinking-aloud and self assessment metacognitive teaching strategies while students in the control group were taught with conventional method. Mean, standard deviation, t-test and ANCOVA were used for data analysis. The results showed that students taught with thinking-aloud metacognitive strategies performed better in chemistry achievement test followed by self assessment metacognitive strategy than the conventional strategy. It was concluded that metacognitive teaching strategy such as thinking-aloud and self assessment if effectively utilized and applied by teachers in the instructional delivery in chemistry could significantly improve the performance of students.

This study aimed at evaluating the implementation of the national curriculum for secondary school Biology in Taraba State. The evaluation model used were the Context, Input, Process, and Product CIPP and Curriculum Objective models. The population for the study was 156 Biology teachers and 15,427 Biology students. A sample of 1110 respondents which consists of Biology teachers and Biology students was drawn using a multistage random sampling technique. A structured response questionnaire which was validated by experts was used to collect data. The internal consistency of the instrument was determined using Cronbach Alpha. The reliability estimate for BIEQT was 0.74. Three research questions and two null hypotheses were tested at a 0.05 significant level. Descriptive statistics were used to answer the research questions. One way Analysis of Variance ANOVA was used to test hypotheses. Among the major findings of the study were that Teachers' qualifications, aims, and objectives of the National Curriculum, and evaluation techniques used by Biology teachers significantly influence the implementation of the Biology curriculum in secondary schools in Taraba State. It was thus recommended among others that, adequate Biology teachers should be employed the Biology content should be monitored periodically to assess the extent to which the objectives are being achieved and the Ministry of Education monitoring unit should ensure that Biology teachers use the recommended evaluation techniques in assessing their students.

This study assessed the students’ assessment of their chemistry teachers’ usage of the eleven
pedagogical methods in the National Commission for Colleges of Education (NCCE) benchmark. It also
assessed the influence of college ownership and gender on the usage. The study was carried out in Federal and
State owned Colleges in the five States in South-East zone of Nigeria. The sample for the study comprises of two
hundred (200) final year chemistry students drawn from the seven Colleges in the five States in the zone. Three
research quests and three hypotheses guided the study. 55-item questionnaire constructed by the researcher
from the eleven pedagogical methods in the Benchmark was used as instrument for data collection. This
instrument was validated by experts in the field and reliability sought and established using Cronbach alph
technique and was found to be 87. Data collected were analysed using means and standard deviation for
research questions and independent t-test for hypotheses at 0.05 level of confidence. The results obtained
showed that out of eleven methods only four (demonstration experimental, discussion and lecture methods) were
used regularities by teachers during classroom instructions. All other seven methods were not adequately used.
Gender and college ownership have no remarkable influence on the usage of these methods. Recommendation
for the usage of all the methods was made
Science education is believed to be a vital tool for individual and societal development at large. The persistent low levels of students’ achievement in sciences at the various public examinations in Nigeria have continued to draw the attention of major stakeholders in education. This study examined academic achievement of Senior Secondary School students in biology and gender difference in students’ achievement was examined. Ex-post facto design of descriptive research was adopted for the study. A proforma was used to collect data from a sample of two hundred (200) students, selected using stratified random sampling procedure from the Science secondary schools in Kano state Nigeria. The data collected were the students’ performances in biology achievement tests. The data were analysed using descriptive statistics and independent-sample t-test. Overall results showed that the test internal consistency reliability is low and unsatisfactory; the students performed below average (M=47.02, SD=16.493 (47%). Similarly, gender difference exists in biology performance with another significant difference between performance of urban and rural school students. The study concludes that, biology test used in Kano state qualifying examinations to assess students potential ability in biology is not a reliable measurement tool and that, academic performance of students in biology is unsatisfactory and evidence of differential performance between gender and schools locations. The implication for measurements and evaluation of learning as well as recommendations has been discussed.

Self Efficacy and Motivation as Determinants of Students’ Performance.pdfAndrewUMOAbasi
This paper aimed at providing empirical evidence on the important of self efficacy as a determinant of student's academic success as informed by their performance in school subjects specially, science base subject.
This study aimed to evaluate the learning styles among healthcare students and to study the relationship with their academic achievement. This cross-sectional study was conducted among 137 healthcare students from six different courses. Data was collected using a self-administered questionnaire and developed based on the original visual, aural/auditory, read/write, and kinesthetic (VARK) assessment. The questionnaire was divided into two sections: the demographic status and the learning style perspective. A total of 119 respondents (86.8%) has chosen unimodal as their learning styles, while the rest of the 18 respondents (13.2%) choose multimodal as their preferred learning method. Among the unimodal learning styles, visual (32%) and reading (26%) were most preferred among respondents. The auditory and kinesthetic methods of learning were less and accounted for 10% to 20%. Notably, in multimodal learning styles preferences, 4% of students prefer a combination learning style of visual and kinesthetic methods. There was no significant relationship between learning styles and academic achievement using Pearson’s Chi-square test (p>0.05). Hence, both were independent of one another. Hence, some of the dominant learning styles needed to be considered based on their future profession.

Effect of Multimodal Instructional Approaches on Students Learning of Chemist...Premier Publishers
Continuous use of traditional instruction has proven to give results of unsatisfactory performance, misconceptions and poor attitudes towards chemistry for most students. This study was designed to examine the differential effects of multimodal instructional and traditional instructional approaches on selected Colleges of Education students’ understanding of chemistry topics to remove the drawbacks of the traditional instructional methods used to teach Chemistry. The sample of the study involved 120 students who were randomly selected into groups from two colleges of Education. The primary data was collected from interview, questionnaire and pre and post-tests for the study. The results indicated that most of students who participated in the study had difficulties learning Chemistry concepts, hold a lot of misconceptions and negative attitudes and interest in learning the topics of the subject. The difficulties were attributed to the sort of instructional approach used to teach Chemistry. Multimodal instructional approaches were proven to show positive significant effect on students’ learning chemistry in the Colleges. There was high improvement in the performance and interest of students to learn Chemistry concepts. The students who were taught by multimodal instructional approaches could interpret and comprehend more chemistry concepts in the study than those who were taught by traditional instructional approach.
Assessment Of The Admission Criteria That Predict Students’ Academic Performa...journal ijrtem
ABSTRACT: Prior to this era, individual universities in Nigeria conducted concessional examinations for the selection of their prospective students. Other compulsory condition was the possession of five credit passes in the relevant subjects in the ordinary level certificate. The other mode of entry was the direct admission of students into the direct second year level of candidates who possessed either the national diploma certificate or the general certificate of education at the advanced level in the relevant papers. Problem arose, where students had multiple admissions in several universities and those who could not afford to write admission examinations to multiple institutions and the not too brilliant students were deprived the opportunity of admission into the very limited Universities. These reasons caused the Federal Government of Nigeria to establish the Joint admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) in 1978. Today, studies showed that JAMB and WAEC alone can no more ascertain the best crop of students for admission as there are exam syndicates everywhere in the country to ensure that their candidates/customers make all their papers in one sitting consequently pass their JAMB and get admission as well. This research is therefore proffering an alternative admission paradigm that will go beyond considering only test scores for admission, but will consider aggregate academic records of the prospective students before admission is offered or denied. This alternative method can be actually using Artificial Neural Network techniques. Keywords: Admission, Artificial Neural Network, Academic Performance, Prediction, Undergraduates, decision support system, etc.
The research examined the effectiveness of activities collaborative group poster strategy and on academic achievement of senior secondary school students on genetics concept in Dawakin-kudu Educational Zone Kano State, Nigeria. The study has three research objectives guided by three research questions and three hypotheses.

The difficulties were attributed to the sort of instructional approach used to teach Chemistry. Multimodal instructional approaches were proven to show positive significant effect on students’ learning chemistry in the Colleges. There was high improvement in the performance and interest of students to learn Chemistry concepts. The students who were taught by multimodal instructional approaches could interpret and comprehend more chemistry concepts in the study than those who were taught by traditional instructional approach.
Assessment Of The Admission Criteria That Predict Students’ Academic Performa...journal ijrtem
ABSTRACT: Prior to this era, individual universities in Nigeria conducted concessional examinations for the selection of their prospective students. Other compulsory condition was the possession of five credit passes in the relevant subjects in the ordinary level certificate. The other mode of entry was the direct admission of students into the direct second year level of candidates who possessed either the national diploma certificate or the general certificate of education at the advanced level in the relevant papers. Problem arose, where students had multiple admissions in several universities and those who could not afford to write admission examinations to multiple institutions and the not too brilliant students were deprived the opportunity of admission into the very limited Universities. These reasons caused the Federal Government of Nigeria to establish the Joint admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) in 1978. Today, studies showed that JAMB and WAEC alone can no more ascertain the best crop of students for admission as there are exam syndicates everywhere in the country to ensure that their candidates/customers make all their papers in one sitting consequently pass their JAMB and get admission as well. This research is therefore proffering an alternative admission paradigm that will go beyond considering only test scores for admission, but will consider aggregate academic records of the prospective students before admission is offered or denied. This alternative method can be actually using Artificial Neural Network techniques. Keywords: Admission, Artificial Neural Network, Academic Performance, Prediction, Undergraduates, decision support system, etc.
The research examined the effectiveness of activities collaborative group poster strategy and on academic achievement of senior secondary school students on genetics concept in Dawakin-kudu Educational Zone Kano State, Nigeria. The study has three research objectives guided by three research questions and three hypotheses.

The Impact of Digital Media on the Decentralization of Power and the Erosion ...ijtsrd
The impact of digital media on the distribution of power and the weakening of traditional gatekeepers has gained considerable attention in recent years. The adoption of digital technologies and the internet has resulted in declining influence and power for traditional gatekeepers such as publishing houses and news organizations. Simultaneously, digital media has facilitated the emergence of new voices and players in the media industry. Digital medias impact on power decentralization and gatekeeper erosion is visible in several ways. One significant aspect is the democratization of information, which enables anyone with an internet connection to publish and share content globally, leading to citizen journalism and bypassing traditional gatekeepers. Another aspect is the disruption of conventional media industry business models, as traditional organizations struggle to adjust to the decrease in advertising revenue and the rise of digital platforms. Alternative business models, such as subscription models and crowdfunding, have become more prevalent, leading to the emergence of new players. Overall, the impact of digital media on the distribution of power and the weakening of traditional gatekeepers has brought about significant changes in the media landscape and the way information is shared. Further research is required to fully comprehend the implications of these changes and their impact on society.

Comparative Analysis of Total Corporate Disclosure of Selected IT Companies o...ijtsrd
Disclosure is a process through which a business enterprise communicates with external parties. A corporate disclosure is communication of financial and non financial information of the activities of a business enterprise to the interested entities. Corporate disclosure is done through publishing annual reports. So corporate disclosure through annual reports plays a vital role in the life of all the companies and provides valuable information to investors. The basic objectives of corporate disclosure is to give a true and fair view of companies to the parties related either directly or indirectly like owner, government, creditors, shareholders etc. in the companies act, provisions have been made about mandatory and voluntary disclosure. The IT sector in India is rapidly growing, the trend to invest in the IT sector is rising and employment opportunities in IT sectors are also increasing. Therefore the IT sector is expected to have fair, full and adequate disclosure of all information. Unfair and incomplete disclosure may adversely affect the entire economy. A research study on disclosure practices of IT companies could play an important role in this regard. Hence, the present research study has been done to study and review comparative analysis of total corporate disclosure of selected IT companies of India and to put forward overall findings and suggestions with a view to increase disclosure score of these companies. The researcher hopes that the present research study will be helpful to all selected Companies for improving level of corporate disclosure through annual reports as well as the government, creditors, investors, all business organizations and upcoming researcher for comparative analyses of level of corporate disclosure with special reference to selected IT companies.

The Role of Mentoring and Its Influence on the Effectiveness of the Teaching ...ijtsrd
This paper reports on a study which was conducted to investigate the role of mentoring and its influence on the effectiveness of the teaching of Physics in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. The study adopted the convergent parallel mixed methods design, focusing on respondents in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected, analysed separately, and the results were compared to see if the findings confirm or disconfirm each other. The quantitative analysis found that majority of the respondents 72 of Physics teachers affirmed that they had more experienced colleagues as mentors to help build their confidence, improve their teaching, and help them improve their effectiveness and efficiency in guiding learners’ achievements. Only 28 of the respondents disagreed with these statements. With majority respondents 72 agreeing with the statements, it implies that in most secondary schools, experienced Physics teachers act as mentors to build teachers’ confidence in teaching and improving students’ learning. The interview qualitative data analysis summarized how secondary school Principals use meetings with mentors and mentees to promote mentorship in the school milieu. This has helped strengthen teachers’ classroom practices in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. With the results confirming each other, the study recommends that mentoring should focus on helping teachers employ social interactions and instructional practices feedback and clarity in teaching that have direct measurable impact on students’ learning achievements.

This study primarily focuses on the design of a high side buck converter using an Arduino microcontroller. The converter is specifically intended for use in DC DC applications, particularly in standalone solar PV systems where the PV output voltage exceeds the load or battery voltage. To evaluate the performance of the converter, simulation experiments are conducted using Proteus Software. These simulations provide insights into the input and output voltages, currents, powers, and efficiency under different state of charge SoC conditions of a 12V,70Ah rechargeable lead acid battery. Additionally, the hardware design of the converter is implemented, and practical data is collected through operation, monitoring, and recording. By comparing the simulation results with the practical results, the efficiency and performance of the designed converter are assessed. The findings indicate that while the buck converter is suitable for practical use in standalone PV systems, its efficiency is compromised due to a lower output current.

Sustainable Energy by Paul A. Adekunte | Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Janet O. Sadikuijtsrd
Energy becomes sustainable if it meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Some of the definitions of sustainable energy include the considerations of environmental aspects such as greenhouse gas emissions, social, and economic aspects such as energy poverty. Generally far more sustainable than fossil fuel are renewable energy sources such as wind, hydroelectric power, solar, and geothermal energy sources. Worthy of note is that some renewable energy projects, like the clearing of forests to produce biofuels, can cause severe environmental damage. The sustainability of nuclear power which is a low carbon source is highly debated because of concerns about radioactive waste, nuclear proliferation, and accidents. The switching from coal to natural gas has environmental benefits, including a lower climate impact, but could lead to delay in switching to more sustainable options. “Carbon capture and storage” can be built into power plants to remove the carbon dioxide CO2 emissions, but this technology is expensive and has rarely been implemented. Leading non renewable energy sources around the world is fossil fuels, coal, petroleum, and natural gas. Nuclear energy is usually considered another non renewable energy source, although nuclear energy itself is a renewable energy source, but the material used in nuclear power plants is not. The paper addresses the issue of sustainable energy, its attendant benefits to the future generation, and humanity in general. Paul A. Adekunte | Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Janet O.

Concepts for Sudan Survey Act Implementations Executive Regulations and Stand...ijtsrd
This paper aims to outline the executive regulations, survey standards, and specifications required for the implementation of the Sudan Survey Act, and for regulating and organizing all surveying work activities in Sudan. The act has been discussed for more than 5 years. The Land Survey Act was initiated by the Sudan Survey Authority and all official legislations were headed by the Sudan Ministry of Justice till it was issued in 2022. The paper presents conceptual guidelines to be used for the Survey Act implementation and to regulate the survey work practice, standardizing the field surveys, processing, quality control, procedures, and the processes related to survey work carried out by the stakeholders and relevant authorities in Sudan. The conceptual guidelines are meant to improve the quality and harmonization of geospatial data and to aid decision making processes as well as geospatial information systems. The established comprehensive executive regulations will govern and regulate the implementation of the Sudan Survey Geomatics Act in all surveying and mapping practices undertaken by the Sudan Survey Authority SSA and state local survey departments for public or private sector organizations. The targeted standards and specifications include the reference frame, projection, coordinate systems, and the guidelines and specifications that must be followed in the field of survey work, processes, and mapping products. In the last few decades, there has been a growing awareness of the importance of geomatics activities and measurements on the Earths surface in space and time, together with observing and mapping the changes. In such cases, data must be captured promptly, standardized, and obtained with more accuracy and specified in much detail. The paper will also highlight the current situation in Sudan, the degree to which survey standards are used, the problems encountered, and the errors that arise from not using the standards and survey specifications.

Towards the Implementation of the Sudan Interpolated Geoid Model Khartoum Sta...ijtsrd
The discussions between ellipsoid and geoid have invoked many researchers during the recent decades, especially during the GNSS technology era, which had witnessed a great deal of development but still geoid undulation requires more investigations. To figure out a solution for Sudans local geoid, this research has tried to intake the possibility of determining the geoid model by following two approaches, gravimetric and geometrical geoid model determination, by making use of GNSS leveling benchmarks at Khartoum state. The Benchmarks are well distributed in the study area, in which, the horizontal coordinates and the height above the ellipsoid have been observed by GNSS while orthometric heights were carried out using precise leveling. The Global Geopotential Model GGM represented in EGM2008 has been exploited to figure out the geoid undulation at the benchmarks in the study area. This is followed by a fitting process, that has been done to suit the geoid undulation data which has been computed using GNSS leveling data and geoid undulation inspired by the EGM2008. Two geoid surfaces were created after the fitting process to ensure that they are identical and both of them could be counted for getting the same geoid undulation with an acceptable accuracy. In this respect, statistical operation played an important role in ensuring the consistency and integrity of the model by applying cross validation techniques splitting the data into training and testing datasets for building the geoid model and testing its eligibility. The geometrical solution for geoid undulation computation has been utilized by applying straightforward equations that facilitate the calculation of the geoid undulation directly through applying statistical techniques for the GNSS leveling data of the study area to get the common equation parameters values that could be utilized to calculate geoid undulation of any position in the study area within the claimed accuracy. Both systems were checked and proved eligible to be used within the study area with acceptable accuracy which may contribute to solving the geoid undulation problem in the Khartoum area, and be further generalized to determine the geoid model over the entire country, and this could be considered in the future, for regional and continental geoid model.

It is found that IIKS helps in management in many areas like sustainable development, tourism, food security, natural resource management, cultural preservation and innovation, etc. However, IIKS integration with management faces some challenges in the form of a lack of documentation, cultural sensitivity, language barriers legal framework, etc. Savita Lathwal "Integration of Indian Indigenous Knowledge System in Management: Prospects and Challenges" Published in International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development (ijtsrd), ISSN: 2456-6470, Volume-8 | Issue-1 , February 2024, URL: https://www.ijtsrd.com/papers/ijtsrd63500.pdf Paper Url: https://www.ijtsrd.com/management/accounting-and-finance/63500/integration-of-indian-indigenous-knowledge-system-in-management-prospects-and-challenges/savita-lathwal
DeepMask Transforming Face Mask Identification for Better Pandemic Control in...ijtsrd
The COVID 19 pandemic has highlighted the crucial need of preventive measures, with widespread use of face masks being a key method for slowing the viruss spread. This research investigates face mask identification using deep learning as a technological solution to be reducing the risk of coronavirus transmission. The proposed method uses state of the art convolutional neural networks CNNs and transfer learning to automatically recognize persons who are not wearing masks in a variety of circumstances. We discuss how this strategy improves public health and safety by providing an efficient manner of enforcing mask wearing standards. The report also discusses the obstacles, ethical concerns, and prospective applications of face mask detection systems in the ongoing fight against the pandemic.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

known to bear beneficial boost for students’
achievement and other academic achievement
determinant. The fundamental questions become:
What are some of these innovative instructional
strategies? Can the innovative instructional strategies
be implemented in the Nigerian secondary school
classroom setting especially in Anambra state?, and
What are the challenges to be overcomed in order to
ensure effective implementation of these innovative
instructional strategies?. These questions have been
adequately addressed given the depth of research on
innovative instructional strategies to improve
chemistry achievement. There is a need therefore, to
shift the focus of research on instructional strategies
to the factors relating to the students to themselves
such as their academic self-efficacy.
Academic self-efficacy refers to the students' beliefs
and attitudes toward their capabilities to achieve
academic success, as well as belief in their ability to
fulfill academic tasks and the successful learning of
the materials (Senol, Isiksal & Yusuf, 2018).
Acccording to Sadia and Uyar (2013), it refers to a
person's conviction that they can successfully achieve
at a designated level in a specific academic subject
area. Self-efficacy is the degree of assurance people
have in their capacity to carry out plans of action or
achieve particular performance goals. Self-efficacy is
an importance factor learning especially for science
subjects like chemistry (Nwanze and Okoli, 2021).
This is because, the learners with high levels of self-
efficacy attribute their failures to lower attempts
rather than lower ability, while those with low self-
efficacy attribute their failure to their low abilities
(Brown and green, 2015). Therefore, self-efficacy can
influence the choice of tasks and perseverance while
doing them.
Students' self-efficacy beliefs have a big impact on
whether they will put in the effort necessary to
complete a task and keep up with academic
challenges. When academic tasks and chemistry
learning are challenging, people with a high level of
self-efficacy attempt them and remain trying, whereas
people with a low level of self-efficacy frequently
give up easily (Witt0Rose, 2003; Cascio, Botta and
Anzaldi, 2013). According to Romppel, Herrmann-
Lingen, Wachter, Edelmann, Dungen, Pieske &
grande, 2013), self-efficacy affects how a task is
chosen and committed to, how much energy is
expended on it, and how well it is performed.
Students' belief in their apparent potential to succeed
in any academic task is, thus, a measure of their self-
efficacy.
Studies on academic self-efficacy and academic
achievement have shown that there exist significant
relationships between the two variables (Lane &
Lane, 2001; Yazachew, 2013; Rudina, 2013; Maria,
2014). These studies established that students’
academic self-efficacy significantly influence their
academic achievement. However, no of such studies
have examined how academic self-efficacy may
predict senior secondary school chemistry
achievement in Anambra state and how the individual
dimensions of academic self-efficacy co-predict
achievement. This study was therefore necessitated
by these research gaps.
Purpose of the Study
The purpose of the study was to investigate academic
self-efficacy and attitude towards chemistry as
predictors of chemistry achievement among senior
secondary school students. Specifically, the study
sought to determine the:
Predictive power of academic self-efficacy on
senior secondary school students’ achievement in
chemistry.
Predictive power of the individual dimensions of
academic self-efficacy on senior secondary school
students’ achievement in chemistry.
Research Questions
The following research questions guided the study.
What is the predictive power of academic self-
efficacy on senior secondary school students’
achievement in chemistry?
What is the predictive power of the individual
dimensions of academic self-efficacy on senior
secondary school students’ achievement in
chemistry?
Hypotheses
The following hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of
significance.
Students’ emotional intelligence scores do not
significantly predict their academic achievement
in mathematics.
Students emotional intelligence dimensions
(perceiving emotions, facilitating thoughts,
understanding emotions and managing emotions)
do not significantly predict their academic
achievement in mathematics.
Methods
The study adopted the correlational survey design.
The study was conducted in Anambra State, Nigeria.
The study population comprised all 8,901 senior
secondary school year two students offering
chemistry in Anambra state. Four hundred students
were involved in the study. The sample was obtained
through random sampling. Four education zone out of
the six education zones in Anambra state was first
selected. In each of the selected education zones, 10
secondary schools were selected at random. In each

school, 10 chemistry students were selected at
random for the study.
The instruments for data collection are Chemistry
Self-efficacy Scale (CSES) adopted from Nwanze
(2021). CSES was a 32 item scale designed to
measure students’ self-efficacy for general Chemistry
(Items 1-5), domain-specific self-efficacy for
Chemistry (Items 6-13), task-specific self-efficacy for
Chemistry enquiry (Items 14-21) and self-efficacy for
Chemistry self-regulated learning (Items 22-32).. The
instrument required the students to rate their belief or
perception that they are capable of performing
specific Chemistry task on a scale of one (not at all)
through five (very well). The validity of the
instrument was as established by Nwanze (2021) and
the reliability of the CSES was determined using
Cronbach’s Alpha to be 0.81.
The instrument was administered to the students
through the help of the four research assistants via
google survey. The research assistants obtained
permission form the school authority and copied the
hyperlink into two palm-tops. The palm tops were
given to the regular chemistry teacher in the school
who selected 10 students at random for the study. The
students were invited to the chemistry laboratory and
the instrument was opened for two students to
respond to at a time while the teacher compiled the
chemistry achievement for two terms. The research
assistants determined the average of the chemistry
scores. The whole data was collated by the researcher
for data analysis. Data generated from the study were
analyzed using simple linear and multiple regressions.
The interpretation of the correlation coefficient was
according Nworgu (2015) who provided a three-way
guide for interpreting correlation coefficient values
when a large number of pairs of scores have been
correlated. They are as follows: ,
low relationship; , moderate
relationship and and above, high
relationship. The null hypotheses were tested at 0.05
level of significance and the following decision rule:
reject the null hypothesis whenever Pvalue is less
than or equal 0.05 (P<0.05), do not reject null
hypothesis whenever Pvalue is greater than 0.05
(P>0.05).

a. Dependent Variable: Achievement in Chemistry
Table 3 shows the standardized beta coefficient which indicates correlation between variables. The
unstandardized beta coefficient shows the predictive powers of each academic self-efficacy dimensions which
indicates their relative contribution to achievement in chemistry. Table 3 shows that academic self-efficacy for
general chemistry has a low positive relationship (R = 0.192) with students’ achievement in chemistry, domain-
specific self-efficacy has a low positive relationship (R = 0.283) with achievement in chemistry while self-
efficacy for self-regulated learning has a moderate positive relationship (R = 0.597) with achievement in
chemistry. Table 3 also reveals that with a unit increase in the self-efficacy for general chemistry, achievement
in chemistry increases by 0.905; with a unit increase in domain-specific self-efficacy for chemistry, achievement
in chemistry increases by 1.248; and with a unit increase in self-efficacy for self-regulated learning, achievement
in chemistry increases by 1.888. The order of relative contribution to increment in chemistry achievement from
the highest to lowest by students’ self-efficacy therefore is; self-efficacy for self-regulated learning (1.888),
followed by domain-specific self-efficacy for chemistry (1.248) and self-efficacy for general chemistry (0.905).
Hypothesis 2: Achievement scores in chemistry are not significantly co-predicted by the individual dimensions
of senior secondary school students’ academic self-efficacy.

Table 4 shows that the individual dimensions of
academic self-efficacy significantly co-predict
achievement in chemistry, F (1, 296) = 244.871, P <
0.00. Therefore the null hypothesis was rejected. The
conclusion was that achievement scores in chemistry
are significantly co-predicted by the individual
dimensions of self-efficacy of senior secondary
school students.
Since the joint and individual association between the
different domains of academic self-efficacy and
achievement in chemistry is significant, the
regression model (Y= a + bX1 +cX2 + dX3) for the
prediction of achievement score in chemistry as can
be derived from Table 3, where Y = Achievement in
chemistry, a (constant) = 15.280 and b value = 0.905,
c value = 1.248, d value = 1.888 is:
AC = 15.280 + (0.905) SFGC + (0.905) DSSC +
(1.248) SFSL
Where, AC = Achievement in Chemistry and SFGC =
Self-efficacy for general chemistry, DSSC = Domain-
specific self-efficacy for chemistry, SFSL = self-
efficacy for self-regulated learning.
Discussion
The findings of the study showed that academic self-
efficacy significantly predicting students’
achievement in chemistry, predicting 1.9% of the
variance in chemistry scores. The fact that academic
self-efficacy can encourage high motivation to
achieve goals during the learning process helps to
explain the observed finding. High self-efficacy
people will inspire motivation. An individual's skills,

efforts, and abilities are used as the drive for
achievement, and before the individual can attain
these goals, he or she must have faith in their
potential. The influence that can be given can be in
the form of direct or indirect effects, in this case, a
person who has high self-confidence in his abilities
himself (self-efficacy) will try to master and conquer
any given exam questions, further supporting
Bandura's claim that self-efficacy is a significant
factor in determining learning achievement. Having a
learning strategy and a pattern of learning
arrangements are two efforts that are unquestionably
based on or followed by this belief. However, if self-
confidence is not accompanied by actual action, it
will not have an impact on learning performance.
Learning efforts build the confidence that is owned,
which will subsequently boost learning achievement
(Santrock, 2013).
The finding of the study is in line with the findings of
Lane and Lane (2001) that ‘self-efficacy to cope with
the intellectual demands of the program’ predicted
11.5% of performance variance. Given that there was
a 13-week time gap between self-efficacy and
performance and the complexity of the task was high,
findings from the study further showed that self-
efficacy has some utility in an academic setting and is
correlated significantly with academic achievement.
Again, the findings of the study lend credence to the
findings of Yazachew (2013) who revealed that a
significant relationship exists between students’ self-
efficacy and achievement.
The findings of the study showed that the self-
efficacy dimension for self-regulated learning proved
to be the highest significant contributor to students’
achievement in chemistry. Researchers in the field of
education have discovered a strong correlation
between self-regulated learning and
conscientiousness, learning motivation, and
performance self-efficacy (Pintrich, 2004; Fernandez-
Rio et al., 2017). Excellence can only be attained with
practice. Planning, effort, and patience are required
for this over time. This process is aided by self-
regulated learning. It enables them to develop into
independent learners who can follow their own
interests. In a cycle of self-regulated learning, a
student organizes a task, executes it, assesses how
they did, and then comments on the results. The cycle
then resumes as the student makes adjustments and is
ready for the subsequent challenge using the
reflection. Academic self-efficacious students have
the capacity for self-regulatory learning. The study's
findings are consistent with those of Rudina (2013),
who found a substantial link between self-efficacy
and academic achievement.
Conclusion
The conclusion drawn from the studyis that academic
self-efficacy of senior secondary school students is a
significant factor in their achievement in chemistry.
To attain a good achievement in chemistry, senior
secondary school students must develop high self-
efficacy for general chemistry, for academic self-
regulated learning and a domain-specific self-efficacy
for different chemistry contents.
Recommendation
In the light of the findings and conclusion, the
following recommendations are made:
Diagnostic analysis of students’ performance in
chemistry and investigations into senior
secondary schools academic self-efficacy should
be conducted regularly to ensure that they
maintain high self-efficacy need for greater
achievement in chemistry.
Senior secondary school chemistry teachers
should model for students appropriate ways to
remain highly self-efficacious in academic
matters.
Chemistry teachers should embed in the lessons,
examples, encouraging stories of chemistry icons
and men and women of all ages who succeed in
chemistry.
