Abstract
The consistent reports on gender inequity in biology have lead to a research for its influence on attitude. In this connection, gender has been reported to facilitate meaningful learning of biological (science) concepts. Consequently, the study sought to investigate the influence of gender on students’ attitude towards Biology. A survey design was adopted and population of 2226 biology students was composed. The stratified and proportional random sampling techniques were used to sample 414 students from 9 secondary schools. Instrument used for data collection was questionnaire on student’s attitude towards Biology (SATB). This was developed by the researcher. The instrument was validated using face validity. The reliability of SATB was determined using Cronbach alpha to be 0.83. The research question was answered using mean and analysis of covariance was used to test the hypothesis. Result showed that gender was found not to exert any significant influence on the attitudes of students towards Biology based on the finding recommendations were made.
