Abstract

The aim of this study was to examine the effects of Google Classroom instruction on Senior Secondary Students’ performance in Prose Appreciation in Bwari Area Council, Abuja. Five research questions and five hypotheses were formulated to guide the study. The population of the study was one thousand, one hundred and forty-five students who offer literature in English as a subject, from fifteen Government Senior Secondary Schools in Bwari Area Council. A sample of one hundred and fifty-seven literature in English students were drawn from two Senior Secondary Schools in Bwari Area Council. Simple random sampling without replacement was used to sample two schools. Simple balloting was used to assign the experimental and control groups. A pre-test, post-test quasi experimental design was adopted for the study. Data was collected using a 25 item multiple choice Prose Appreciation Performance Test (PAPT). The instrument was validated by experts in in Tests and Measurements to ensure the face and content validity. A test of reliability was done to ensure the reliability of the instrument. The reliability was determined using Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient. The data collected was analysed using mean and standard deviation to answer the research questions, while t-test was used to test the null hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The findings revealed that the performance of students taught prose appreciation using Google Classroom was higher than those taught without the use of Google Classroom. Therefore, it is recommended that the Google Classroom instruction be combined with conventional teaching methods to improve students’ performance in prose appreciation.
