Abstract: | The study was basically undertaken in order to find out the effect ol
Ieaming environment on students performance in geography the
cross-sectional research design and the pre-test post-test
experimental design were adopted for this study. Three research
questions and one hypothesis were used. The teachers
Questionnaires and Students Test ltem (ST!) 1 and 2 were the
instrument used for the collection of data and were subjected to
expert judgement. Out of a population 121 SS lll Geography
students, 20 were selected as the sample of students while all the
teachers were used for the study. The researcher distributed and
collected back the questionnaire after a period of two weeks. The 20
students were tested after two weeks intervention programme. The
data created were analysed using simple percentage and students t-
test statistics. The analysis indicates that, the interaction of students
with the learning environment does not significantly affect there
performance in geography. Large class size, insufficient teaching
period, insufficient teaching materials and unavailability ol laboratory
were challenges encountered by teachers in making a conducive
classroom. It was recommended that a well-equipped Geography
laboratory is to be provided in all schools. |
