Abstract
This study was carried out in an
effort to help solve the Psychological problems plaguing the teaching and
learning of the mole concept. 1E investigated the effect of cognitive mapping on
student's achievement in mole concept. A total of one hundred and forty two
(142) senior secondary school (SSII) students were used for the ctudy. A
pretest, post test control group design was used. The mole concept achievement
test (MCAT) was used as an instrumentfor the study. It was hypothesized that
cognitive map instructional strategy and gender as main effect and the
interaction between these independent factors will not have significant effect
on the students achievement in mole concept. Three null hypotheses were tested
at 0.05 level of significance using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) and
graphical illustration. Result of the study revealed that there was no
significant difference between the achievement of male and female students. The
achievement means score of the treatment group was significantly higher than
that of the control group. The interaction effect of method and gender on
students achievement was not significant. It was recommended among others, that
chemistry teachers and text book authors be trained on the construction of
cognitive map through seminars and workshop.
