Self-Regulated Learning Strategy and Biology Students' Achievement in Population Ecology in Senior Secondary Schools in Akwa Ibom State:- Akanwa, U.N
Abstract
To investigate Self- regulated
learning Strategy and Biology students’ academic achievement in population
ecology in senior secondary schools, in Akwa Ibom State. Two null hypotheses
was formulated. A pretest postest quasi- experimental design was adopted. A
population of 8,364 and sample size of 134 (71males and 63 females) SS2 Biology
students was selected for the study using simple random sampling.Biology Achievement
Test (BAT) consisting of 40 questions,validated by experts was used for the
study. Kuder Richardson's formula 21 (KR _ 21) was used to estimate the
internal consistency which was 0.82. Descriptive statistics and Analysis of
covariance (ANCOVA) were used to answer research questions and test hypotheses
respectively. The result of analysis indicated that Biology students taught
using self-regulated learning strategy had a higher academic achievement than
those taught using the lecture method, that gender was not a determinant of
Biology students’ academic achievement. Based on the findings, recommendations
were made among which is the need for Biology teachers to adopt and make use of
self- regulated learning strategy in teaching population ecology. Keywords
