Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2020 in the subject Didactics - Chemistry, grade: 3.5, University of Jos, language: English, abstract: The main purpose of this study is to examine the effects of discussion and lecture method on senior secondary two students' performance and interest in chemistry in Jos North, Nigeria. Specifically, the study sets out to determine the effects of discussion and lecture methods on academic achievements in chemistry and on academic achievement of male and female students who are taught chemistry. Teaching and learning are important parts of the process of education which are aimed at the development of learners' understanding and skills with which to become useful citizens in society. Education involves the total efforts of the community to raise its political, social and economic standard of living. The implication of this is the development of a nation which depends on largely the level of its scientific and technological literacy. Thus, the importance of chemistry as a subject cannot be underrated especially in Nigeria where the national income rests on petroleum and petrochemical industries.

This book addresses both how individual interest and interest inherent in stimuli (books, text, toys, etc.) across subjects affect cognitive performance. Wh...
