Effects of Gender on Senior Secondary Schools Students’ Achievement through Mind Mapping-Based and Visual Imagery Strategies in Physics in Ekiti State, Nigeria
Abstract
The study examined the effects of gender on senior secondary schools students’ achievement in physics s through mind mapping-based and visual imagery strategies in Ekiti state, Nigeria. This study adopted a pre-test post-test quasi experimental control group design. The sample for this study consisted of one hundred and thirty three (40 males and 93 females) students selected from six (6) senior secondary schools across the three senatorial districts of the state through purposive sampling technique. Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) and Estimated Marginal Means (EMM) were used to analyze the data obtained at significant level of 0.05. The findings of this study revealed that there was no significant effect of gender on students’ achievement in physics through mind-mapping based and visual imagery strategies. However, further EMMs showed that male students had the higher adjusted mean score in their post-achievement in physics (15.161) than female students (13.294).
