Abstract

The type of test administration used by teachers in assessing students in Biology in Nigerian secondary schools had been implicated. In view of the above problems, the present research work was designed to find out the effects of individual and group test administration on SS3 students’ achievement in Biology. The researcher adopted a non-equivalent quasi- experimental design. A sample of 320 SS3 students was drawn from the four schools in Enugu south Local Government Area of Enugu State. In each school used, two intact classes were randomly drawn; one intact class was then randomly assigned to the experimental groups 1 and II. The two groups were assessed using individual and group test administrations respectively. A research question and hypothesis guided the study. Relevant data for the study were collected using individual and group tests on Biology Achievement Test (BAT). Research question was answered using mean and standard deviation while hypothesis was tested using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA). The results revealed that the use of individual test administration in assessing students in Biology in the secondary schools was found to achieve higher than group test administration. Some recommendations were made based on the findings of the study
