Role play method of teaching allows students to discover specific information by themselves before they make a 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 a 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 methods 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 counterparts. Finally, the limitations of the study and suggestions for further studies were made. ...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
