Selected Science Process Skills as Correlates of Students’ Academic Achievement in Chemistry in Calabar Municipality of Cross River State, Nigeria
Abstract
The study assessed science process skills of observing and problem-solving as correlates of students’ academic achievement in Chemistry in Calabar Municipality, Cross River State. Two research questions and two corresponding null hypotheses directed the study. Ex-post facto research design was adopted in this study. A multistage sampling technique were employed in selecting 124 from the population of 1,060 SS2 Chemistry students and used for data collection. Data collection were made using Chemistry Achievement Test (CAT) and Science Process Skills Acquisition Test (SPSAT). Data were analyzed using simple linear regression to test the hypotheses at .05 level of significant. Results of the analyzed data revealed that there is no significant relationship between science process skills of observing and problem-solving on students’ academic achievement in Chemistry in Calabar Municipality. Based on the study findings conclusion was drawn and recommendations made; some of which is Teachers of Chemistry should engage students in solving problems as that will help them to have that sense of belongingness during and after learning. By so doing, the students will improve upon their academic achievement in Chemistry.
