MOTIVATIONAL TEACHING STRATEGIES AND AVAILABILITY OF LIBRARY FACILITIES AS DETERMINANTS OF ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF STUDENT IN BIOLOGY IN ABIA STATE

                                                                                    ABSTRACT

This study encapsulates the essence of exploring motivational teaching strategies and the availability of library facilities on the academic performance of secondary school students in biology in Abia State, Nigeria. Recognizing the critical role of biology in the scientific and technological advancement of the country, this study aims to identify key factors that enhance student performance in this subject. The motivational teaching strategies examined include the use of interactive teaching methods, goal-setting, positive reinforcement, and the incorporation of real-life examples to make lessons more engaging. The availability of library facilities was assessed based on factors such as the presence of up-to-date biology textbooks, access to scientific journals, availability of internet resources, and the overall adequacy of library infrastructure. . Through an analysis of various types of motivational teaching strategies, this study aims to uncover correlations between motivational teaching strategies and student performance in biology. Furthermore, the availability of well-equipped library facilities was found to be a crucial determinant of academic success. Schools with comprehensive library resources reported higher average scores in biology compared to those with limited or outdated resources. The study further states the effect of each of the various types of motivational strategies and, likewise, the availability of library facilities on students’ performance in biology. The study concludes that by addressing both intrinsic and extrinsic motivational factors, educators can create a more dynamic and effective teaching methodology that resonates with students' interests and learning styles. One of the recommendations provided was that teachers should employ a variety of motivational teaching strategies to engage students effectively. Methods such as interactive and inquiry-based learning, the use of real-life examples, and the incorporation of technology in teaching can make biology lessons more interesting and relatable.
