    EFFECTS OF FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT WITH FEEDBACK ON SECONDARY SCHOOL ECONOMICS STUDENTS' ACHIEVEMENTWTLAFIA, NASARAWA STATE, NIGERIA
    (Department of Educational Foundation, Nasarawa State University Keffi., 2022-09-22) Allahnana, Kwanza Maikudi; Lazarus, Kuza Gabriel; Musa, Bulus; David, Babala D
    Abstract The paper investigated the 'Effect of formative assessment with feedback on secondary school Economics students' achievement in Lafia Local Government Area of Nasarawa State, Nigeria. The study aimed to determine the difference between mean achievement scores of experimental and control groups in terms of achievement gains with gender as a moderator variable. Two research questions with two hypotheses were formulated to facilitate the study—a quasi-experimental design involving a pretest, post-test, and postposttest control group. The study population comprised 4,508 senior secondary II Economics students in Lafia Local Government. The sample consisted of two intact classes of 105 senior secondary II Economics students from two schools in Lafia Local Government. A simple Random Sampling procedure was used to select four schools that participated in the pretest, after which two schools with similar abilities were chosen for the study. The instruments used for data collection were the researcher-developed Economics Achievement Test (EAT). Experts validated the instrument in Education and Economics with a mean validation index of 0.80. A reliability index of 0.82 was also obtained through the Cronbach alpha method. Data analysis was conducted using mean and standard deviation to answer research questions and Analysis of Covariance to test the hypotheses. The result showed that there was a significant difference between the experimental group and the control group. The result also indicated that gender was not an important factor in students' achievement when taught Economics using formative assessment with feedback. The study concludes that using formative assessment feedback in teaching Economics significantly affected the mean achievement score of students in Economics. Based on the findings and conclusion, the researchers recommended thatformative assessment with feedbackfor teaching economics be encouraged and mandated to use formative assessment with feedback when teaching Economics to close the gender gap and maintain better retention. Finally, formative assessment with feedback that is not gender biased should be employed by teachers and encouraged by the government and relevant stakeholders in Education

    MODERN STATISTICAL APPLICATIONS OF THE DETERMINATION OF SAMPLE SIZE IN EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH
    (Department of Educational Foundations, Nasarawa State University, Keffi., 2020-09-07) Allahnana, Kwanza Maikudi; Uwelo, Danladi; Musa, Bulus
    h this 21st century, educational research cannot be complete without the efforts of researchers and respondents where it links to some researchers finding it difficult to determine the valid and reliable sample size when conducting research. The sample size is a subset of the population which served as the representative of the entire universe and generalization of findings after the research has been conducted. However, in the process, the sample must be carefully selected to be representative of the population and the need for the researcher to ensure that the subdivisions entailed in the analysis are accurately catered for the purpose.
