Effect Of Scaffolding And Think-Pair-Share Teaching Strategies On Academic Achievement And Locus Of Control In English Language Comprehension Of Senior Secondary School Students In Abia State
ABSTRACT
The study investigated the effect of
Scaffolding and Think-Pair-Share teaching strategies on academic achievement
and locus of control in English language comprehension of senior secondary
students in South East Nigeria. Eight specific objectives were developed to
guide the study. Eight research questions were answered for the study while
eight null hypotheses were formulated and tested at 0.05 level of significance
to guide the study. The study adopted a quasi-experimental pre-test, post-test
control group design. The study was carried out in Abia state. The population
of the study was 4,649 senior secondary two students in 2020/2021 academic
session in Abia state. Sample for the study consisted of 48 senior secondary
two students drawn from three co-educational schools in Ohafia education zone.
Instruments used for data collection for the study were English Language
Achievement Test (ELAT) which was validated by five experts and Locus of
Control Scale (LOCS) which was adopted from Ekennia (2017).The reliability
coefficient of ELAT was established using Kuder-Richardson (K-R20)
formula and a coefficient of 0.81 was obtained. Mean and standard deviation
were used to answer the research questions while Analysis of Covariance
(ANCOVA) was used to test the null hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance.
The result revealed that students taught English language comprehension using
Scaffolding and Think-Pair-Share teaching strategies respectively recorded
higher mean achievement scores than their counterparts taught with Lecture
method. The study also found that Scaffolding and Think-Pair-Share strategies
have no significant effect on male and female students’ academic achievement in
English language. It was recommended among others that English language
teachers should be given adequate training by the government on the effective
use of innovative teaching strategies such as Scaffolding and Think-Pair-Share.
Teachers should be encouraged to incorporate these innovative teaching
strategies in classroom instructions.
