The quality of education that teachers provide to student is highly dependent upon what teachers do in the classroom. Thus, in preparing the students of today to become successful individuals of tomorrow, science teachers need to ensure that their teaching is effective. This study aimed to compares the application of Cooperative learning approach o...

... Teachers need to be well exposed to effective teaching and learning methods that are more of learner-centred than teacher-centred in order to tackle the problem of frequent adoption of teachercentred teaching and the negative attitude and low achievement towards Financial Accounting. Thus, for learners to effectively master the subject matter, the learner-centred teaching and learning methods should be adopted as it actively involve the learner in the learning process and foster a positive attitude towards the subject (Samosa, 2021). For Financial Accounting to be effectively taught, Financial Accounting teachers must employ appropriate instructional strategy that can help students to develop skills and knowledge with which to take important business decisions in future (Kusuma, et al., 2020). ...

This study is carried out to provide a conceptual review on the effectiveness of the think-pair-share (TPS) teaching strategy in improving Business Education students’ academic achievement in Financial Accounting. Related literature were reviewed on teaching methods and strategies, think-pair-share instructional strategy, academic performance and Financial Accounting. The findings suggest that the TPS strategy is a viable alternative to traditional instruction and can be used to enhance academic achievement of Business Education students especially in Financial Accounting. The study recommends that Business Educators in tertiary institutions should be flexible in the choice of the selection of instruction methods/ strategies when teaching Financial Accounting and Business Educators should adopt learner-centred instructional strategy(s) like think-pair-share method that will allow students to actively participate in the learning p
... While surface learning is more concern with passing the course with little effort, and many times engage in memorization of learning material.

In addition, Amadi and Ironanya (2020) also stated that the essence of deep learning understands true knowing. ...

This study investigated gender difference in learning approaches among education students of Sule Lamido University Kafin Hausa, Jigawa State, North-West, Nigeria. Ex-post facto design was used. The study used 101 students as samples drawn from the university. The Revised Two-Factor Study Process Questionnaire (R-SPQ-2F) was adopted to measure learning approaches. Cronbach Alpha, Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient values of Revised Two-Factor Study Process Questionnaire (R-SPQ-2F) were .77, and .62 respectively. The statistic used to analyze the data was t-test for independent sample. One hypothesis was formulated and tested. The study did not find any significant difference in learning approaches between female learners and male learners was not significant (p>0.05). It was recommended that teachers should orient their students about learning approaches to studies as well as use of essay and objective test items as assessment tools throughout their programme.
... Cooperative learning models are used in different cultures, geographies, areas, and levels of education (Dendup & Onthanee, 2020;Garcia, 2021;Han & Son, 2020;Sulfemi & Kamalia, 2020;Van Ryzin, Roseth & Biglan, 2020;. Cooperative learning is a pedagogical method that helps students interact and collaborate to achieve shared goals, and thus, develop cognitive, affective, and psychomotor skills (Samosa, 2021;Yıldız, Ağgül, Çalıklar & Şimşek, 2020). This was the focal point of this study, which focused on determining the effect of a CLM on preservice classroom teachers' attitudes towards science experiments. ...

This study aimed to determine the effect of a cooperative learning model (CLM) on preservice classroom teachers' attitudes towards science experiments. The sample consisted of 45 students in the department of primary education of the faculty of education of a public university in the 2017-2018 academic year. The sample was divided into two groups: experimental (n=24) and control (n=21). The experimental group received an education based on a CLM, while the control group received an education based on the conventional method specified by the curriculum. The study employed a mixed research design and consisted of two parts: quantitative and qualitative. In the quantitative part, an semi-experimental pretest-posttest control group design was used. In the qualitative part, phenomenology was used. The quantitative data were collected using the Scale of Attitudes Towards Science Experiments (SATSE) and analyzed using a t-test. The qualitative data were collected using an interview questionnaire and analyzed using content analysis. The experimental group had a significantly higher mean SATSE score than the controls. The experimental group also had a higher mean posttest than pretest SATSE score, which was statistically insignificant. The control group had a significantly lower mean posttest than pretest SATSE score. Content analysis showed that the CLM improved some participants' attitudes towards science experiments. They were more interested in science experiments and enjoyed participating in them more, and believed that the CLM made science experiments fun and easier to understand. However, some other participants stated that the CLM did not affect their attitudes towards science experiments.

... Consequently, it is a common observation that learning Biology, as a discipline creates a negative feedback to most students in the secondary level. Biology is one of the hated subjects in Science, which students would likely fail completing the necessary requirements and get low performances in both academic and conceptual reasoning skills (Samosa, 2021). To many students, Science learning is never fun, and the process is boring and burdensome; thus, student achievement in this field is relatively low (Samosa, 2019). ...
