Relative Effectiveness of Generative Learning Strategy on Students’ Academic Achievement in Senior Secondary School Biology: Sustainable Development Perspective
The study investigated the relative effectiveness of generative learning strategy on students’ academic achievement in secondary school Biology. The research design adopted for the study was pre-test, post-test control group quasi-experimental with a 2 x 2 factorial matrix. The groups were crossed...
