Roleplay method of teaching allows students to discover specific information by themselves before they make generalization. Six research questions and six null hypotheses guided the study. Quasi-experimental design was adopted for the study, specifically, non-equivalent control group design. The study was carried out in selected schools in Kano metropolis. The sample for the study comprised of 80 SS II students from two intact classes in two secondary schools in Kano metropolis, drawn using multi-stage sampling techniques. The experimental group was taught using role-play method, while the control group was taught using the conventional lecture method. The treatments lasted for four weeks. Two instruments were used for data collection in the study namely Biology Achievement Test (BAT). Data collected were analyzed using mean, standard deviation and Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA). The results revealed that role play instructional method was superior to the conventional instructional method in facilitating students’ performance and interest in basic biology. There was no significant difference in the mean scores of male and female students in biology after the treatment, although male students performed slightly better than their female counterpart. Finally, the limitations of the study and suggestions for further studies were made. ...Preview Download Preview +Other Education project topics and materials you might be interested in»The effect of continuous assessment on academic performance of students in school (a case study of Okitipupa local government area of Ondo state)»Strategies for improving low academic performance in English language in secondary schools»The use of extensive reading in promoting communication competence in secondary school»Influence of social media on the performance of secondary school students as perceived by teachers»The effect of overpopulation on the academic performance of students - a case study of Uselu secondary school, Benin City»Effect of drill and practice on the academic achievement of students in English language in junior secondary schools»Factors affecting the effective implementation of continuous assessment in Oredo local government area of Edo state»The problems of primary school education in Kano State»Factors affecting the implementation of universal basic education in some selected primary schools»Effect of school environment on the academic performance of primary school students»Efficacy of mastery learning on retention and performance in identified threshold concepts in chemistry among secondary school students in Kano municipal, Nigeria»Cultism in Nigeria's tertiary institutions - a case study of Lagos state university»Factors associated with the mass failure of students in integrated science in secondary schools»Impact of principal’s leadership style on students’ academic performance in some selected secondary schools of Gwale local government area, Kano state»The impact of language laboratory for effective teaching and learning of oral English in junior secondary school in Aninri local government area
