Abstract

The consistent poor achievement of students in Mathematics has continued to generate reactions from both the government and stakeholders in education sector. Against this background, several efforts have been made to find solutions to the problem. It is on this note that this study investigated effect of expository advance cognitive organizer on senior secondary school students’ achievement in Mathematics in Enugu East L. G. A. Enugu State, Nigeria. The study has two research questions and three research hypotheses. It adopted a non-equivalent control group quasi-experimental research design. The sample size for this study was 157 which was made up 59 males and 98 females. Out of the 10 public secondary schools in Enugu East L.G.A., five are co-educational schools and two schools were randomly chosen from the five schools. In each of the two schools sampled, two intact classes were randomly selected and used for the study. The instrument used for data collection was Circle Geometry Achievement Test (CGAT). The reliability coefficient of the CGAT was determined to be 0.75 using K-R 20 formula. The instrument was administered to the students before the treatment and after the treatment. The research questions were answered with mean and standard deviation while the hypotheses were tested with ANCOVA probability level of .05. After the data analysis, the following findings were made: students taught circle geometry with expository advance cognitive organizer achieved better than the students taught with traditional method; there is no significant difference between the mean scores of male and female students with expository advance cognitive organizer. Based on the findings, the researcher recommended that, in addition to organizing conferences for in-service Mathematics teachers; seminars and workshops should be organized by the school board for Mathematics teachers on how to use advance cognitive organizers in teaching Mathematics.
