|
The study
explored the effects of Rusbult problem solving model on
students’ achievement in Geometry. To guide the study, two
research questions and two hypotheses were generated. The design
for the study was quasi-experimental design. The instrument for
the study was the Geometry Achievement Test (GAT), which had
reliability coefficient of 0.91. Multi-stage sampling technique
was used to select a sample of 84, made up of 45 males and 39
females, from Keffi metropolis. The responses of the subjects to
the instrument were scored and analyzed using mean, standard
deviation and the Analysis of Covariance. The results of the
data analysis indicated that there was a significant difference
in the mean achievement scores of students in the experimental
group and control group in favour of the experimental group who
were taught geometry using Rusbult Problem Solving Model (RPSM).
The result however showed that there was no significant
difference in the mean achievement scores in geometry between
male and female students exposed to RPSM. The study concluded
that achievement of students can be improved upon in geometry by
teaching them using RPSM. It was, among others recommended that
students should be taught geometry using RPSM in order to
improve their achievement. |
