dc.description.abstractABSTRACT This study investigated effects of inquiry and lecture methods of teaching on students’ academic achievement, retention and attitude among diploma two chemistry students of Kano State Polytechnic. The study is a pre test, post test quasi experimental control group design. A total of seventy (70) students form the sample of the study. Two instruments, namely Chemistry Achievement Test (CAT) and Chemistry Attitude Questionnaire (CAQ) were use for data collection. The CAT was develop by the researcher and validated by experts in chemistry education and psychology. The reliability coefficient of CAT and CAQ were found to be r=0.785 and r=0.82 respectively. Analysis of data using t-test statistic and weight average revealed that the experimental group which was taught chemistry using inquiry teaching methods performed significantly better than the control group which was taught using the traditional lecture method and that the experimental group developed positive attitudes toward chemistry after exposure to the inquiry teaching method. Other finding of research was that inquiry method of instruction was gender-friendly and that is enhances retention. The study recommends, among others, that chemistry teachers should be encouraged to use inquiry method in the teaching of chemistry.en_US
