    Enhancing Chemistry Students' Retention of Redox Reaction Concepts Through Intervention with Redox Reactioin Software
    (Department of Science, Technology and Mathematics Education, Nasarawa State University Keffi q, 2020-11-22) Tanko, J.A.; D.S., Amina; Aku, Philip Eggon
    This study investigated the potency of redox reaction software0 strategy in enhancing chemistry students’ level retention of redox reaction concepts. A pre-test, post- test, control group, quasi-• experimental design was adopted. Sixty'(60) senior secondary two (SS2) chemistry students (30 males and 30 females) Purposively sampled from the target population in Keffi Educational Area Inspectorate of Nasarawa State, Nigeria, constituted two non-equivalent intact classes that participated in the study. Data was collected using a Redox Reaction Concept Retention Test (RAT) instrument with Kuder-Richardson’s formula 21 reliability coefficient of 0.71. Mean and standard deviations as well as1 analysis of covariance were used for data analysis at 0..05 alpha level. Findings revealed that redox reaction software strategy produced a high retention mean gain and therefore was effective in enhancing the retention abilities of chemistry students in redox reaction concepts. Gender did not significantly influence the retention ability of students in redox reaction concept. It was recommended among others that chemistry teachers and educators should • ' adopt redox reaction software strategy to effectively and. efficiently teach redox reaction concepts • so as to promote conceptual learning over rote memorization.
