Biology holds a crucial position in the Nigerian secondary school curriculum, serving as the foundation for understanding life and its interactions with the environment. Using a quasi-experimental pre-test and post-test design with experimental and control groups, the research sought to determine the effects of problem-solving teaching strategies on various aspects of students'' biology learning. This approach aligns with Kolo''s perspective, emphasizing the investigation of cause-and-effect relationships through treatment application. The experimental and control groups were initially assessed for equivalence. The findings indicated that problem-solving teaching strategies had a significant effect on the academic performance and retention of biology knowledge among students. Additionally, the study explored the impact of these strategies on low-ability students'' retention in biology, revealing positive outcomes. Furthermore, the research investigated the influence of problem-solving teaching strategies on the academic performance and retention of biology knowledge among male and female students compared to those taught using lecture methods. The results indicated the effectiveness and efficiency of problem-solving strategies in enhancing students'' knowledge, skills, and capabilities, aligning with previous findings by Juwah. However, the study rejected the hypothesis suggesting no significant effect of peer assessment strategy on students'' academic achievement in biology. This finding diverged from prior research by emphasizing the efficacy of problem-solving strategies in fostering desired learning outcomes. Overall, the study underscores the importance of incorporating problem-solving teaching strategies in biology education to enhance students'' academic achievement and retention....Preview Download Preview +Other Biological Science project topics and materials you might be interested in»Effect of role-play method on academic achievement of biology students in selected secondary schools in Kano metropolis»An investigation into the management and utilization of biological gardens in tertiary institution in Kano state»Isolation and identification of Helminth parasites of public health importance from commercial aquaculture ponds water within Kano metropolitan»Awareness and preventive measures of HIV/AIDS among undergraduates in Isiala Ngwa south local government area»Phytochemical screening and antimicrobial activity of Pourpartia birrea»A study of antibacterial activity of Zea Mays and Cymbopogan Citrasus on bacteria isolated from urine of pregnant women»Effects of some classes of insecticides Onclarias Gariepinus juveniles»An analysis of the conceptual knowledge of drug abuse among biology students»Availability and utilization of laboratory resources in teaching and learning biology in Enugu north local government area of Enugu state»Isolation and identification of helminthes parasites of public health importance from commercial aquaculture ponds water within Kano metropolitan»Assessment of seed extract of pignut Jatropha Curcas for the control of beans weevil Callosobruchus Maculatus»Survey of insect pest infestation of trees in Kano zoological garden»Bacteriological quality assessment of sundried meat (Kilishi) sold in Katsina metropolis»The incidence of human immune deficiency virus (HIV) among pregnant women attending Dr. Karima hospital Gusau, Zamfara state»Welfare profile of African catfish (Clarias Garipinus) exposed to senna occidentalis leaf powder
