Abstract

The study determined the influence of Chemistry practical on students' interest and academic achievement in senior secondary school chemistry. The general purpose of the study was how to find out how practical chemistry exercises triggered interest and hence promoted more academic achievement in senior secondary schools chemistry. In order to give this study a sense of direction, two research questions were raised and answered while two hypotheses were formulated and tested at 0.051evel of significance. Literature related to the study was reviewed under conceptual and empirical frameworks. The design ofthe study is survey. The area of the study is Awgu Education zone. The population of the study was three thousand and five hundred (3,500) SS2 students. The sample and sampling technique were one hundred and fifty (150) SS2 students and stratified random sampling technique. The instruments used are chemistry practical achievement test (CPAT) and chemistry interest inventory (CII). Two instruments were used to collect data. The Data collected were analyzed using Mean and SO. T-test analysis was also used to obtain t-calculated and hence t-critical. Results show that the mean and SO obtained are mean = 112.34 and SO = 13.34. The t-calculated value = 25.56 at OF of 49 and t-critical (P) value = 1.68. The t-calculated for the two hypotheses is greater than the t-critical. Therefore the null hypotheses were rejected. That is to say they are signi ficant at OF of 49 at 0.051evel of significance. 5 Keywords: Chemistry, Practical, Students, Achievement and Interest.
