Effects of Kumon and Framing Teaching Strategies on Secondary School Students’ Achievement in Mathematics in Delta-South Education Zone, Delta State
Abstract
The research examined the effect of Kumon and framing teaching strategies on the mathematical performance of secondary school students in the Delta-South Education Zone, Delta State, Nigeria. The study population comprised 19,201 Senior Secondary Two (SS2) students within the Zone. The study utilized a sample size of 286 SS? students, randomly chosen from six intact classes in public mixed schools. The data collection instrument employed was the Mathematics Achievement Test (MAT), which received validation from four experts. The reliability of the MAT was determined using the Kuder-Richardson Formula 20, resulting in a coefficient of 0.86. The intervention entailed presenting the mathematics topics to the experimental groups through Kumon and framing teaching strategies, whereas the control group received instruction via expository teaching strategy (ETS). A pretest was conducted prior to the treatment, followed by a post-test subsequent to the treatment. The collected scores were analysed using mean and ANCOVA at a 0.05 alpha level. The results indicated that Kumon and framing teaching strategies significantly enhance students' mathematical achievement compared to expository teaching strategy. Furthermore, there was no significant disparity in the average accomplishment scores of male and female students instructed in mathematics by Kumon, framing, or expository teaching strategies, among other observations. The research concluded that both Kumon and framing teaching strategies were effective in enhancing the mathematical performance of high school students in the Delta-South Education Zone. It was recommended that secondary school mathematics educators integrate and amalgamate Kumon and frame teaching strategies into their curriculum.
