    ABSTRACT

    This study investigated the effect of advanced organizers on academic


    performance and retention of Kinetic theory of matter concept among basic
    science and technology students in Uyo. Four specific objectives, four research
    questions and four hypotheses were formulated to guide the study. The study
    adopted pretest, posttest, control group quasi-experimental design. The students in
    experimental group were taught using advance organizers teaching strategy
    while those in control group were taught using expository teaching method. The
    population consisted of 2,010 junior secondary two (JSS2) basic science and
    technology Students for 2023/2024 academic session in Uyo while the sample
    size comprised two hundred (200) junior secondary two (JSS2) basic science and
    technology students in four intact classes drawn from four co- educational
    secondary schools in the study area using simple random sampling technique
    involving balloting method. A 20 item multiple choice test, kinetic Theory of
    Matter Performance Test (KTMPT) developed by the researcher was used to
    collect data for the study. The reliability co-efficient of the instrument was 0.88
    determined using test-retest method. The data obtained from all the tests were
    analyzed using mean, standard deviation and independent t-test. The findings of
    the study revealed that students in experimental and control groups were
    homogeneous at the commencement of the experiment. There was a significant
    difference in the mean performance and retention scores of basic science and
    technology students taught using advance organizers and those taught using
    expository teaching method in favor of the students taught using advance
    organizers. The findings also indicated that, there was no significant effect of
    gender on the mean performance and retention scores of basic science and
    technology students when exposed to advance organizers. Based on the results
    of the findings, it was recommended among others that the use of advance
    organizers teaching strategy should be encouraged among junior secondary
    school basic science and technology teachers in teaching abstract concepts
    where prior knowledge is lacking.
