Abstract
This study investigated
the Effect of Collaborative Instructional Strategy on Interest of Senior
Secondary Students in Biology in Otukpo Local Government Area of Benue State,
Nigeria. The study has two research objectives, two research questions were
raised and answered and two hypotheses were tested at a 0.05 level of
Significance. A quasi-experimental design was adopted. Biology Interest
Inventory (BII) instruments was developed and administered to 425 samples from
the population of 1484 Senior Secondary School (SSI) students in Otukpo Local
Government Area, Benue State. A purposive sampling technique was used in the
selection of the samples. The Biology Interest Inventory (BII) was validated by
three experts. The reliability of the BII was 0.81.
The experimental group was taught using the Collaborative instructional
strategy while the control group was taught using the conventional Teaching
method. Research questions were answered using mean and standard deviation,
while hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance using ANCOVA.
Results revealed significant differences in interest of students taught using
the Collaborative instructional strategy and their counterparts taught using
the traditional Teaching method. The study further revealed no statistically
significant differences in the interest of male and female students exposed to
the Collaborative instructional strategy. Based
on the findings, the study concluded that the Collaborative instructional
strategy is effective and gender friendly and it was recommended for adoption
in the teaching and learning of sciences, particularly Biology.
