Beyond the Aggregate: A Strand-by-Strand Professional Development Needs Analysis for Mathematical Modeling in Nigeria's Further Mathematics Curriculum

Esther Ngozi Odafe^*, Festus Osasumwen Idiaghe

Knowing that teachers need more training is of limited practical use to curriculum planners unless it is known which specific content demands the most urgent attention, and why. This paper re-analyses teacher training-need data originally collected by Odafe (2017) from a survey of 40 Further Mathematics teachers in Edo South Senatorial District, Ni...

Gender-Stratified and Interaction Effects of Teaching Method on Senior Secondary Students' Acquisition of Communicating Skills in Biology

Festus Osasumwen Idiaghe^*, Esther Ngozi Odafe

This study tested whether the ABI > GI > TM effectiveness ordering reported for a pooled sample of 127 senior secondary Biology students (Idiaghe & Odafe, 2026a) replicates for male and female students separately, and whether teaching method and gender interact on posttest communicating-skills scores. A quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design wa...
