There was also, significant difference between the mean scores of urban and rural N.C.E Social Studies students taught using cooperative learning approach and those taught using conventional method on attitude towards citizenship education. However, there was no significant difference between both the mean score on academic performance and attitude scores of male and female NCE Social Studies students taught using cooperative learning approach and those taught using conventional method. Also, significant difference was not found between the mean academic performance scores of urban and rural NCE Social Studies students taught using cooperative learning approach and those taught using conventional method.
