| 1 | EFFECT OF DIFFERENTIATED INSTRUCTION ON THE ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT OF PUPILS IN MATHEMATICS IN ILORIN WEST LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA, KWARA STATE |
Mathematics as a school subject serves as a foundation for technical education which is the bedrock of technological advancement of any nation. Research efforts to improve pupils’ performance in the subject are very rare. Therefore, this study examined the effect of differentiated Instruction on pupils’ academic achievement in mathematics in Ilorin West Local Government Area of Kwara State. The study adopted a pretest posttest control group quasi-experimental research design. One validated and reliably tested research instrument titled Mathematics Achievement Test (BSTAT) was used. The reliability index of SSAT (r = 0.79) was determined using Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC). Seven research hypotheses were formulated and tested at 0.05 level of significance. The hypotheses were tested with inferential statistics of Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA). The findings of the study revealed that treatment had significant effect on pupils’ academic achievement (F= 64.888, P < 0.05) in mathematics. However, gender (F(1; 78) = .437; P > 0.05) and school type (F(1; 78) = .192; P > 0.05) did not have significant effect on pupils’ academic achievement in mathematics. Based on the findings, it was concluded that differentiated instruction can improve academic achievement of pupils in Mathematics. Based on the conclusion, it is recommended that differentiated instruction should be used in teaching mathematics in primary school. Also, government and private school owners should organize or sponsor teachers to attend workshop or conference on the use of differentiated instruction as a teaching strategy | Kayode Ezecheal OBAFEMI | 1 | Journal | 2022-03-01 | https://www.kije.com.ng/index.php/KIJE/article/view/6 | |
