ABSTRACT

The study investigated the use of graphic organizer in teaching integration and students’ achievement in senior secondary school mathematics in Mkpat Enin Local Government Area. Three research questions and corresponding research hypotheses guided the study.Quasi- experimental research design, specifically; pre-test post-test non-randomized control group design was used. The population of the study was 1935 senior secondary three (SS3) students during the 2023/2024 academic session in Mkpat Enin, Akwa Ibom State, sample size of 129(64 Male and 65 Female) students were randomly selected fromthe target population. The instrument used for collection of data was Mathematics Achievement Test (MAT) on integration with a reliability coefficient of 0.72 using Test retest method. Hypotheses were tested using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) at 0.05 level of significance. The result of the study showed a significant difference among the mean achievement scores of students taught integration using graphic organizer and those exposed to lecture strategy. Findings of the study revealed that students taught using graphic organizer achieved significantly higher in their mean scores compared with the lecture strategy. Based on the findings of the study, it was concluded that graphic organizer is a good strategy for teaching integration. It is therefore recommended among others that mathematics teachers should adopt the use of graphic organizer in teaching integration.
