Abstract :
The study centred on the effect of project-based learning on secondary school students’ academic achievement in electrochemical cells in Agbani education zone. Two research questions guided the study while two null hypotheses were tested at .05 level of significance. The design for this study was quasi-experimental design of the pre-test post-test non-equivalent research design. The population for the study consisted of 4,109 Senior Secondary two (SS II) students in Agbani Education Zone of Enugu State. The sample size was 365 students. Purposive sampling was adopted to identify four out of the 45 senior public secondary schools in Agbani Education Zone of Enugu State. The instrument for data collection was Electrochemical Cells Achievement Test (ECAT). The instrument was validated in two phases which included: face validation and content validation. The reliability coefficient of the ECAT was determined using Kuder Richardson KR20. Reliability coefficient of 0.81 was gotten showing that ECAT was stable. The research questions were answered using mean and standard deviation. Analysis of covariance was used in testing the hypotheses at .05 level of significance. The findings of the study revealed that students that were taught electrochemical cells with project-based learning recorded higher academic achievement than those taught with expository method. The findings showed that male students that were taught electrochemical cells with project-based learning recorded higher academic achievement than their female counterparts. Based on the findings of the study, the researcher revealed among others that the use of project-based learning should be encouraged by teachers to students during teaching and learning of Chemistry (Electrochemical cells in Senior Secondary School since it enhanced better performance of students irrespective of the scoring level.
