Abstract

This study examined the impact of Problem-Based Learning strategy (PBLS) on the academic achievement of biology students in genetics at Colleges of Education in Oyo State, Nigeria. The study was prompted by the challenges students encounter in understanding abstract genetic ideas when instructed through conventional method. A quasi-experimental design with pre-test, post-test, non-randomized control, and non-equivalent intact groups was employed. The sample comprised 193 individuals selected from two schools of 300-level biology students, with one group instructed via problem-based learning strategy (PBLS) and the other through conventional methods. Data were gathered utilizing a validated Genetics Achievement Test (GAT), and hypotheses were examined through Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) at a significance level of 0.05. The results demonstrated a substantial main effect of problem-based learning strategy (PBLS) on academic achievement (F(1,95)=180.407, p
