The sample consisted of 80 subjects of two intact classes randomly sampled and assigned to experimental and control groups, drawn from two schools. One group was exposed to cooperative learning, and the other to lec ure method. Mathematical Economics Achievement Test (MEAT), consisting of 50 items multiple choice achievement test, was used for data collection. Descriptive statistics of means curd standard deviations was used to answer the research questions while analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was applied to test the hypotheses at the 0.05 level of significance. The results showed that the students performed better when taught with cooperative learning strategy in secondary schools. Findings and implications were discussed and recommendations made. | en_US |
