Purpose: This study investigated the effect of Multimodal Instructional Approach on students’ academic performance in the concept of Biological Classification at Navrongo Senior High School, generally, and on gender basis. Methodology: The study adopted quasi-experimental research design. The sample comprised of 100 Navrongo Senior High School Form Two Gold Track and Green Track science students. Students from the Gold Track and Green Track were designated experimental group and control group respectively. Each group was made up of 25 males and 25 females. Pretest was administered to all the participants. The experimental group was taught using Multimodal Instructional Approach. The control group was taught using Discussion as the teaching method. A posttest was administered to both groups to determine the effectiveness of the treatment. The reliability of the test items was determined using test-retest reliability coefficient. The test-retest reliability coefficients of the instruments were found to be 0.73 and 0.78 for the pretest and posttest respectively. The data obtained were analysed using independent sample t-test. Results: The pretest test scores revealed that the students were homogeneous in terms of performance. Posttest results of students in the experimental group were significantly higher than the control group. There was no significant difference in the performance of males and females. The results of the posttest revealed that the use of MIA in teaching biological classification was more effective than discussion method. Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: This study recommended that Biology teachers in NSHS should be encouraged to teach Biological Classification using MIA in order to improve the academic performance of both male and female students. School authority should invite educational technologists, instructional materials technicians and computer experts to help science teachers of NSHS on how to incorporate ICT in teaching science subjects. |
