Abstract

The incessant poor achievement of students in Mathematics has attracted the attention of both the government and stakeholders in education sector. Based on this, several policies have been made with respect to finding solutions to the problem. Against this background, this study investigated the effect of skimming advance cognitive organizer on senior secondary school students’ achievement in Mathematics in Enugu East Local Government Area. 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 257 which was made up 109 males and 148 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 co-educational 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 Inequality Achievement Test (IAT). The reliability coefficient of the IAT was determined to be 0.65 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 at probability level of .05. After the data analysis, the following findings were made: students taught Inequality with skimming 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 skimming 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.
