ABSTRACT
The purpose of the study was to
determine the effects of multiple intelligence- based instructional approach on
student achievement and retention in Basic Science Concepts. The area of the
study is Aba zone in Ahia State. The population of study comprises all Jssl 1
in Aha zone was 3631 students. The sample size was Sixty (60) . The instrument
used for data collection was Basic Science Achievement test (BAT).Three
lectures from science education department carried out face and content
validation. Test retest and Kuder - Richardson formular 20 reliability was used
to determine test consistency internally; and reliability index was 0.98. The
researcher, with the aid of two ( 2) research assistance from each of the two
sampled schools collected the data. Mean and Standard deviation were employed
to answer research questions while Analysis of Covariance (ANCOV A) was used to
test hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The finding was that if students
are taught using multiple intelligence based- instructional techniques they
will have a high mean achievement and retention. Also if teachers adopt various
instructional techniques to teach, it will appeal to the students various
intelligence and will increase their motivation to learn. Also the provision of
an engaged or active learning environment where students can participate
actively in class discussions will increase the students, ability to explore
issues and articulate their own ideas. It was recommended that teachers
teaching basic science should adopt multiple intelligence based instructional
techniques. Also student should always be allowed to participate actively and
interact freely with the teacher and their colleagues in class as this will
improve their learning in basic science.
