Influence Of Availability And Utilization Of Physics Laboratory Equipment On Students' Academic Performance In Eket Local Government Area, Akwa Ibom State.
ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence
of availability and utilization of physics laboratory equipment on students'
academic performance in physics in the senior secondary school in Eket Local
Government Area of Akwa Ibom State. Two hundred and twenty secondary school
students and twelve physics teachers were used as sample for the study. Three
instruments, titled Physics Laboratory Equipment Checklist" (PLEC),
Physics Laboratory Equipment Rating Scale" (PLERS) and a questionnaire
with two sections were used to collect data. The data collected were expressed
using percentages (%) and the hypotheses was analyzed using chi-square
statistics with the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). The results
revealed that there is a deficiency in the availability and utilization of
physics laboratory equipment. It also revealed that there is significant
relationship between availability and utilization of physics equipment with
students' performance in physics at the 0.05 level of significance. The study
recommended that the State Ministry of Education should provide the necessary needed
physics equipment for schools offering physics and also encourage the training
of teachers and support them to attend and participate in workshops and
seminars.
