Abstract

This study investigated the impact of science education on effective teaching and learning of junior secondary school sciences in Ogbia Local Government Area of Bayelsa State. It was facilitated by two research questions. The research adopted a descriptive survey design and the population for the study involved all the science education students in ten (10) selected secondary schools in Ogbia Local Government Area of Bayelsa State, with total of 50 respondents achieved through the aid of simple random techniques. Data was collected using a structured questionnaire designed in 5 points rating scale. The instrument was validated by two experts in the field and the reliability co – efficient of 0.65 was established using Cronbach alpha method, while mean and standard deviation were used to answer the research questions. Findings revealed that there is impact of science practical’s on effective teaching and learning of junior secondary school sciences in Ogbia Local Government Area of Bayelsa State, and recommends that; Activities that will enhance engagement of students in science practicals should be given enough encouragement by science instructors, The government should budget and allocate finance that will be used to build and equip our laboratories to a world class standard, Science education curriculum should be structured to embrace science practical’s, Teaching and learning of science should be intensifying from junior secondary to senior secondary levels, Science students should encourage to demonstrate practically on what they have learnt.
