Effectiveness of Hypermedia and Multimedia Learning Strategies on the Academic Performance of Chemistry Students in Nigeria

Summary/Abstract: The conventional approach to teaching has led to poor performance of students in chemistry and some other subjects. Research has shown that students would learn better should they participate in the teaching-learning process. This study determined the effectiveness of hypermedia and multimedia learning strategies in the academic performance of chemistry students in Osogbo, Nigeria. The pre-test, post-test, control group quasi-experimental design was adopted for this study. Forty students from four schools within the Osogbo central area in Nigeria participated in this study. The instruments used for data collection were: Hypermedia Instructional Package, Multimedia Package and Chemistry Students Achievement Test. Three null hypotheses were tested at 0.05 significance level. Data collected were analyzed using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA). Treatment had a significant effect on chemistry students’ post-test achievement scores. Students exposed to learning strategies performed better, with higher adjusted post-test mean score, in comparison with their counterparts who were not exposed to any of the two learning strategies.
