Abstract

This study was designed to determine the effect of fishing tools instructional approach on students' achievement and retention in senior secondary school geometry. Four (4) research questions and four (4) hypotheses were formulated to guide the study. The study employed a quasi-experimental, non-equivalent control group design and was restricted to Andoni Local Government Area, Rivers State, Nigeria. A sample of200 SSI students (104 males and 96 females), drawn from four public and co-educational schools using purposive sampling technique, was involved in the study. The instrument for data collection was geometry achievement test (GAT) which. was used as the pre-test, post-test and geometry retention test (GRT). The post-test and GRT were reshuffled versions of the GAT. Data collected were analyzed using mean, standard deviation and analysis of co-variance (ANCOVA). The result of the study revealed among others, that the use of fishing tools instructional approach in teaching geometry of two and three dimensional objects to senior secondary one (SSl) students enhanced their achievement and retention in geometry. Based on the findings, it was recommended among others, that the fishing tools instructional approach should be adopted in the teaching of geometry in basic and secondary school levels of the education system.
