Effect of 7e Learning Strategy on Students' Achievement in Basic Science and Technology in Makurdi Local Government Area of Benue State

The study examined the Effect of 7E Learning Strategy on Students’ Achievement in Basic Science and Technology in Makurdi Local Government Area of Benue State. Two research questions were asked and answered and two hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance. A pre-test post-test quasi-experimental research design was adopted for the study. Simple random sampling techniques were used to sample 89 (48 male and 41 female) students in two intact classes from the population of 7,834 upper basic II students. Basic Science and Technology Achievement Test (BSTAT), was used for data collection. A reliability coefficient of 0.78, was obtained using using kuder-Richardson 20 formula. Data were analyzed using mean and standard deviation, to answer research questions while the null hypotheses were tested using analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA). Findings of the study showed that there is a statistically significant difference between the mean achievement scores of students taught Basic Science and Technology using the 7Es instructional strategy and those taught using lecture method among others. Based on the findings, the researcher concludes that the 7Es learning strategy is an effective strategy as it improves students’ achievement in Basic Science and Technology. The researcher therefore recommends that, Basic Science and Technology teachers should endeavour to adopt the 7Es learning strategy in the teaching of Basic Science and Technology, especially in secondary schools as it helps increase students’ achievement in the subject
