    Attitude of Chemistry Students Towards the use of Structured Text Approach in Learning Chemical Equilibrium
    (Department of Mathematics Education, Nasarawa State University, Keffi, 2021-07-23) Jibrin, Abdullahi Tanko
    The study investigated the attitude of students towards the use of structured text approach in learning chemical equilibrium by senior secondary two chemistry students of Keffi metropolis in Nasarawa state Nigeria. Survey research design was employed in the study. The population of the study comprised all senior secondary two chemistry students of public and private senior secondary schools in Keffi metropolis. Stratified random sampling technique was applied in selecting the sample for the study. Three public and three private senior secondary schools were randomly selected out of the 15 senior secondary schools in the Area under study. Consequently, fifty students from each school formed the sample of the study; thus, a total of 300 respondents out of the population of 1005 are used for the study (50 x 6 = 300). Structured Text in Chemical Equilibrium (STCE) and Structured Text Approach Attitude Questionnaire (STAAQ) were the instruments used in the study. 300 copies of Structured Text Approach Attitude Questionnaire (STAAQ) were distributed to the respondents and 300 filled were collected. Simple percentage statistical technique was used to answer the research question and Chi square was used to test the postulated null hypothesis. The major finding was, the attitude of chemistry students towards the use of Structured Text Approach in learning chemical equilibrium was positive. Based on this finding, it was recommended that, for every exercise given to students, teachers should provide adequate feedback to guide students and also chemistry teachers should make efforts to incorporate in their teaching, standard Structured Texts in other topics that are considered difficult to learn.
