Although understandings of scientific inquiry (as opposed to conducting inquiry) are included in science education reform documents around the world, little is known about what students have learned about inquiry during their elementary school years. This is partially due to the lack of any assessment instrument to measure understandings about…

Okebukola, Peter Akinsola; Owolabi, Olatunde; Okebukola, Foluso Olutoyin – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2013
The forecast for the first quarter of this century is that the issue of teaching science in the language to which the learner is most familiar will receive more attention in our quest to win more students for science. Over two-thirds of countries in Africa, Asia, and Europe have developed policies on the use of the mother tongue for teaching…

Martin, Sonya N.; Siry, Christina – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2011
In this paper, we employ cultural sociology and Braj Kachru's model of World Englishes as theoretical and analytical tools for considering English as a form of capital necessary for widely disseminating research findings from local networks of practice to the greater science education research community. We present a brief analysis of recent…

Peer reviewedOgunniyi, M. B. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1987
Examines the nature of selected traditional cosmological concepts among literate and nonliterate Nigerians. Findings indicate that the respondents, regardless of their status, hold both scientific and traditional notions of the universe. A preference for a scientific world view was evidenced by those who experienced a history/philosophy of science…

Peer reviewedOkebukola, Peter Akinsola – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1987
Examined the influence of selected factors on secondary student's performance in practical chemistry for a sample of students and teachers from 39 Nigerian schools. Student participation in laboratory activities and students attitudes to chemistry were identified as being the most important factors affecting performance in chemistry. (ML)

Peer reviewedOkebukola, Peter Akinsola – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1985
Investigated the laboratory behavior strategies of 600 class five biology students (319 boys and 281 girls) associated with attitudes toward laboratory work and improved performance in such practical skills as planning and design of experiments and the observation, recording, and interpretation of data.

Peer reviewedUrevbu, Andrew O. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1984
Investigated level of concept attainment of selected energy concepts for possible inclusion in the Nigerian Primary Science Project. Subjects (N=450) were taught energy concepts at descriptive, comparative, and quantitative levels. Suggests the need to describe these levels for particular grades and match curriculum with students' thinking…

Peer reviewedAli, Anthony – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1984
Investigated effects of using laboratory photomicrography as a motivational technique in the teaching/learning processes involved in the study of microbiology in Nigerian schools. Of the 720 students participating in the study, those taught using the photomicrographs scored highest on posttests and indicated that they were highly motivated by the…

Peer reviewedOwie, Ikponmwosa – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1983
Assessed influence of subsidiary learning activities in a physiology class on attitudes of students (N= approximately 173) toward contraceptives. A significantly larger number of students possessed positive attitudes after engaging in such activities as reading assignments and large/small group discussions during the course of one semester.

Peer reviewedEhindero, O.J. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1982
Investigated influence of sex-related contextual nature of tasks (male-related, female-related, and content-free tasks) and perceived difficulty of these tasks on logical reasoning of Nigerian high school students (N=70). Results indicated that males scored higher than females on male-related tasks and females scored higher on female-related…

Peer reviewedEhindero, Olusola J. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1982
Spatial ability and Piagetian tasks were administered to 80 schooled/non-schooled Fulanis (primarily nomadic and hunters) and agriculturalists (living a settled life). Results indicated that Fulanis develop spatial skills adapted to the ecological demands of their lives and that schooled students performed better on Piagetian tasks than…

Peer reviewedOgunniyi, M. B. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1982
An instrument was developed to measure conceptions of the language of science held by prospective Nigerian science teachers (N=106) relative to conceptions held by seven selected science philosophers (Carnap, Frank, Hempel, Kemeny, Nagel, Nash, and Popper). Subjects did not endorse the language of science associated with a particular philosopher.…

Peer reviewedEhindero, O. J. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1982
The concepts of distance, area, and the coordinate reference systems were investigated in relation to the displacement volume task among 300 randomly selected primary and high school children in Nigeria. Although results support Piaget's hypothesis, a developmental lag of about two years was observed in Nigerian students. (JN)
