TY - EJOU AU - T1 - Effects of WebQuest on Secondary School Biology Students Achievement in Cell Division in Ilorin T2 - Humanities and Social Sciences Letters PY - 2019 VL - 7 IS - 2 SN - 2312-4318 AB - This study investigated the effects of the WebQuest Instructional Package (WQIP) on senior secondary school biology students’ achievement in cell division in Ilorin, Nigeria. A quasi-experimental design was adopted for the study. Two classes from two secondary schools were purposively sampled. The instruments used were the Cell Division Achievement Test (CAT) and the WebQuest Instructional Package on Cell Division (WQIPC). Four research questions guided the study and four corresponding research hypotheses were tested at the 0.05 significance level. The study observed that using the WQIP significantly improved students' achievement in cell division. However, no significant difference was found between the achievements of male and female students taught cell division using WQIP. There was also a significant difference in the achievement of high, medium and low scoring students taught cell division using WQIP in favour of the low scorers. There was no significant interaction effect among WebQuest, gender and score levels on students’ achievement in cell division. It was recommended, among others, that biology teachers should tryto use the WebQuest Instructional Package (WQIP) in the teaching of cell division and other similar hard to teach concepts in biology.
