Assessement of Effects Of Activity- Based And Brainstorming Instructions On Students’ Performance In Islamic Studies In Junior Secondary School In Kaduna State, Nigeria.

ABSTRACT

The study titled Assessments of effects of activity-based and brainstorming instructions on students’ performance in Islamic Studies in Junior Secondary Schools in Kaduna state, Nigeria.

The study was conducted with five objectives which include: determine the effects of activity-based instruction on students’ performance in Islamic studies as compared to the Conventional method in junior secondary schools in Kaduna state.

Examine the effects of brainstorming instruction on students’ performance in Islamic studies as compared to the Conventional method in junior secondary schools in Kaduna state.

Mean and standard deviation were used to analyses the research questions. Hypotheses 1 and 2 were tested using t-test, while hypotheses 3, 4 and 5 were analyzed using ANOVA at 0.05 alpha level of significance.

Findings revealed that Students taught Islamic Studies using activity-based instruction performed significantly better than those taught with conventional method in Junior Secondary Schools in Kaduna State.

INTRODUCTION

Background to the Study

Instructions of teaching have attracted the attention of many researchers over the years. Activity-based and brainstorming instruction in Islamic studies teaching has been the concern of many educationists.

Islamic studies, as a practical and theoretical subject should engage student in teaching and learning but what operates largely in junior secondary schools (JSS) in Kaduna state presently is more of reading, memorization and hearing without engaging students in active teaching and learning.
