Abstract:
This study was meant to enhance the performance of second year Biology students of T.I
Ahmadiyya SHS in Wa on Cell Division using Computer Assisted Instructions (CAI).
The sample population was made up of eighty (80) biology students, forty (40) from the
Green Track and forty (40) from the Gold Track. Quasi-experimental design was used in
the study and students were sampled purposively. The survey was conducted by using
questionnaire and test items. The data was collected, organised and analysed using mean,
standard deviation, percentages, frequencies, and t-test. The findings of the study
revealed that students who were exposed to Computer-Assisted Instruction (CAI)
performed significantly better than their counterparts who were taught with the
conventional instruction. Again, the study showed that using Physics Education
Technology (PhET) simulations in teaching cell division improved students’ knowledge
and sustained their interest as it changed the abstract nature of the concept to concrete
form for easy understanding.
