Description
The purpose of this study is to find out the impact of passive and active teaching
methods on students' learning in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State. Pre-test post-test
experimental design was adopted for this study. Two hundred secondary school
students were randomly selected for this study (X = 14.42; SD = 0.91). The sample was
made of 72 males and 124 females. Data was collected via administration of
achievement test in Biology with specific focus on Osmosis and Diffusion. ANOVA was
used to analyse the data. The findings showed that the overall, active teaching methods
have a significant impact on students' learning than the passive teaching method at
p<.05 level for the four conditions (F (3, 192) = 162.03, p=.000). Based on these finding,
it was recommended that the Ministry of Education should embark on enlightenment
campaign on the need for teachers to employ effective teaching methods in classroom.
