| dc.description.abstract | This study attempted to find out the following: (i) The effect of metacognitive strategy of metalearning through concept mapping heuristic on science learning and achievement. (ii) The effect of gender differences on science learning through the concept mapping heuristic, (iii) The effect of concept mapping strategy on students' anxiety towards science learning. The three Null hypotheses stated for the study reflected the research problems stated above. Two instruments were used for data collection. (i) Anxiety was measured using a version of Zuckerman's (1960) Affective Adjective Checklist. (ii) Biology achievement was measured using a fifty item multiple choice instrument selected from past WAEC (West African Examination Council) examination. The data collected from the SS I students of the Ahmadu Bello University Secondary School, ABU., Zaria were analysed using the statistical package for the social science (SPSS) available at the ABU. Computer Centre. The data were tested for significance at the 5% level. ix The results showed that (i) Concept mapping enhanced science learning, (ii) Gender had no significant effect on science learning through concept mapping. (iii) Enhanced science learning through concept mapping did not reduce students' anxiety towards science learning. | en_US |
