Evaluating the Effect of Activity-Based Method of Teaching Mathematics on Nigerian Secondary School Students' Achievement in Mathematics

Abstract: Mathematics is a compulsory subject in Nigerian secondary schools, and the subject plays an important role in the scientific and technological growth and development of the nation. A shortfall in the knowledge of the students in Mathematics means that the goal may not be realized, hence the need to improve teaching methods for solving the problem of poor performance in the subject. This study evaluated the effect of the activity-based teaching method on the students' achievement in secondary school Mathematics. The design of the study was a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest research design using intact classes. A sample of 96 students from two senior secondary schools in Calabar metropolis, Cross Rivers State, Nigeria was used in the study. The instrument for data collection was a 20-item Essay MathematicsTest (MT) developed by the researcher to measure students' achievement in Mathematics. The reliability coefficient for the instrument using the Cronbach coefficient alpha was 0
