Impact of Multimedia-Enriched Lecture Method on Performance Among Field-Independent and Field-Dependent Secondary School Physics Students in Gombe Central Senatorial District, Gombe State, Nigeria.

Abstract

This study investigated the Impact of multimedia-enriched lecture method on Performance among Field-Independent and Field-Dependent Physics Students in Gombe central senatorial District, Gombe State, Nigeria. The research design was Quasi-experimental research design. The population of this study was 500 SSII Physics students. The instrument for data collection was Physics Performance Test (PPT). A validated instrument with a reliability coefficient of 0.79 was used for data collection. The data was collected using test after the administration of the treatment. The research question was answered using mean and Standard Deviation, while Null Hypothesis was tested using ANCOVA at 0.05 level of significance. Findings showed that there is a difference in performance between Field-Independent and Field-Dependent students taught Physics concepts using multimedia-enriched lecture method. Based on the findings of this study, it was recommended that multimedia-enriched lecture method be use in teaching Physics as it enhances academic performance of Secondary School Students.

Key Words:  Multimedia-enriched Lecture Method, Field- Independent, Field –Dependent, Performance.
