The literature has consistently lamented a decline in students' interest in studying physics. However, key among the factors linked to students' interest in a particular subject is the teacher's classroom management practices. The purpose of this study was to explore predictors of students' interest in physics among 10 teacher classroom management...

This Study explored the usage of the internet and its impact on the academic performance of Senior High School (SHS) students in the Cape Coast Metropolis. A questionnaire was used to gather data from 105 second-and third-year students through random sampling and was then analyzed using descriptive statistics and an independent samples t-test. The...

Studies in Ghana and globally have reported a dwindling in students’ interest in pursuing higher degrees in physics and physics related programmes. Thus, the purpose of this study was to investigate students’ interest in physics according to gender, type of school and programme of study. The overarching design employed in this study was the cross-s...

One major concern of stakeholders in education across the world is how to improve students learning outcomes. To address this, a number of researchers have unearthed various factors that affect students’ learning outcomes and recommended ways of addressing these factors to improve students’ learning outcomes. This study is posited on the fact that...

This study was motivated by the desire to explore the study skills employed by science students in senior high schools (SHS) in the Cape Coast metropolis across the Central Region of Ghana. A total of 600 SHS second-year science students, 354 males, and 244 females, took part in the investigation. The study adopted a cross-sectional survey design....

The family Solanaceae represent one of the most economically, nutritionally and medicinally important families of angiosperms. The genus Solanum is a hyper-diverse taxon of this family. There are about 2300 species of Solanum in the world that are mainly distributed in the tropical and sub-tropical areas, with a small number in the temperate areas....

Studies on maize-oil palm intercropping were undertaken during the major and minor rainy seasons of 2018 at Kusi in the Eastern region of Ghana to evaluate the usefulness of CERES-maize crop model as a decision support tool for optimizing performance of an early maturing maize cultivar (Omankwa) under nutrient-applied conditions. Three rates of fer...

The purpose of this study was to find out the perception of the physics tutors about the impact of a continuous professional development on their knowledge about the national teachers' standard, the national teacher education curriculum framework and the 4-year B. Ed curriculum. The study employed descriptive cross sectional survey using an online...

The article was based on the assertion that students' conceptions greatly influence the extent to which they grasp concepts. Based on this claim, this study sought to examine students' concepts and the reasons associated with learners' alternative conceptions relative to change of state of matter. This study employed the survey design hinged on ret...

Professional development takes place within a context (school, district, regional and national) which has strong influence on the content, process and outcome. The colleges of education in Ghana have been involved in a continuous professional development for the past four years with support of Transforming Teacher Education and Learning (T-TEL). Th...

Background Substance use is believed to be on the increase in many parts of the world and stakeholders have expressed their concerns on how this can adversely affect the users. Students in various institutions have taken up this action which is causing school authorities to implement rules to curb the menace. Aim This study sought to investigate ef...

Practical work forms an integral part of teaching and learning as enshrined in the teaching physics syllabus designed for senior high schools in Ghana. This presupposes that the final grade of students is influenced by their performance in physics practical work. Hence, practical work in physics needs to be utilised to improve students' performance...

The purpose of the study was to investigate the procedural problem-solving approaches students employ when solving computational problems that involve extensive and intensive quantities of change of state. A sample of 240 Form 3 science students randomly selected from five senior high schools in the Cape Coast Metropolis participated in this study....

The study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of learning cycle teaching approach in promoting understanding and exploring students' preconceptions on selected concepts in direct current electricity. Fifty-nine (n = 59) students from one intact form three (3) science class was conveniently selected from the six senior secondary schools o...

Concept development has been the subject of ongoing debate among educators, academics and policy makers over the years. There have been many studies that sought to investigate the effectiveness of teaching methods in helping students develop and understand concepts in different subjects. The purpose of this study was to compare the learning cycle a...
