Influence of Virtual Reality and Flow Chart on Biology Students’ Academic Achievement on Circulatory System in Uyo Municipality, Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria

Abstract

This study investigated the influence of virtual reality and flow chart on biology students’ academic achievement on circulatory system. Non- randomized pre-test, post-test control group design was used for the study.  Study sample was 121 SS3 biology students drawn from Uyo Municipality of Akwa lbom State, Nigeria. Simple random sampling technique was used for the study. Two research questions and two hypotheses were tested. The instrument for data collection was Biology Achievement Test (BAT). A reliability index of 0.87 was determined using test-retest approach. The results showed that gender was not a strong determinant of students' achievement in biology. It was recommended among others that, parents and biology teachers should encourage both male and female students towards excellence in biology.
