ENHANCING ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT OF SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS IN BIOLOGY USING MNEMONIC INTEGRATED INSTRUCTION

Summary/Abstract: Although the use of innovative instructional methods in teaching in the 21st century has been recognized to promote the acquisition of the skills needed by individuals to survive in the modern globalized society, these methods however to an extent have failed to achieve their main aim which is geared towards helping students excel in various aspects of examination, as in using these methods alone, students tend to acquire these skills but to an extent not easily recall the simple facts needed to pass most external examinations. In this light, the researcher sought out to find out if the integration of mnemonic instructions into these teaching methods will help students recall facts easily and hence perform better in examinations. To achieve the purpose of the study, two research questions and three null hypotheses tested at 0.05 alpha levels guided the study. The study adopted a quasi-experimental research design, specifically, the pretest posttest non-randomized control group design.
