Impact of Inclusive Education Experiences on Satisfaction, Persistence and Academic Performance of Teacher-trainees With Sensory Impairment: the Moderating Role of Self-efficacy Mantey, Emmanuel Kwame Larbi The study assessed the impact of inclusive education experiences on satisfaction, persistence and academic performance of teacher-trainees with sensory impairment and the moderating role of self-efficacy. Data was collected in three Colleges of Education (CoEs) in Ghana. All the Teacher-Trainees with Sensory Impairment (TTSI) (66) in the CoEs participated in the study. The study was based on pragmatist philosophy. It utilised the convergent parallel mixed-methods approach. Data was collected using questionnaires and a focus group discussion guide. Descriptive statistics, independent samples t-tests, Pearson product-moment correlation coefficients, and Hayes PROCESS-Macro were used for quantitative data analysis. Using Braun and Clarke's (2019) reflexive thematic method to qualitative data, qualitative extracts were analysed. TTSI were reported to be satisfied with their schools in the study. A major moderator of the connection between inclusive education experience and TTSI persistence was self-efficacy, but not the relationship between inclusive education experience and TTSI satisfaction. Among the recommendations were that College authorities work in tandem with the MoE to provide comfortable campus environments for TTSI. Learning materials printed in readable and or audio form for TTSI should be available and delivered on time to facilitate academic work. Finally, College staffs are to develop the self-efficacy of TTSI to help them persist and progress in their academic life successfully. ii, ill: 319

Science teachers’ perception of the use of educational computer gamers in selected senior high schools in Akwapim North District Larbi, Abigail Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has become a household name for any country that wants to develop education. ICT has received significant attention from successive governments over the past decade at the senior high school level. Teaching and learning have evolved over the years from the traditional instructivism, to the constructivism approach where learners have become active organism with expectations and the teacher becoming a facilitator. The aim of the study was to investigate the use of ICT as a constructivist approach to the teaching and learning of Physics m Swedru senior high school. The study was underpinned by the constructivist theory. The study adopted a quantitative research approach and descriptive research design. There is no approach like this in the main work and simple random sampling techniques were used in this research The sample size was 206 students who were randomly selected and 8 science teachers who were purposely selected. Questionnaire was used as a research instrument for data collection. Descriptive statistical tools were used in analysing the data. The study revealed that the use of ICT in the teaching and learning of Physics were perceived to develop diverse learning, critical thinking and active student participation which improve student's performance in the subject. It was recommended that, the Government should adopt ICT as a constructivist approach to the teaching and learning of Physics in junior high schools by providing the necessary logistics and infrastructure so that they can use ICT resources to enhance teaching and learning. viii,76p.:ill

The impact of multimedia instruction in biology on Senior High School Students’ achievement. Ayittey, Allan This study investigated the comparative effectiveness of teaching through the use of multimedia and conventional teaching method in biology on senior high school students in relation to students’ achievement. The pre-test post-test non-equivalent quasi experimental design was used for this study. One hundred and ten (110) form three general science students who had biology as one of their major subjects were selected for the study. They were later grouped into control and experimental group. Students in the experimental group were taught through the use of multimedia whereas those in the control group were taught through the conventional or traditional approach. The study concluded that both methods used in the study were quite effective for teaching photosynthesis in biology however, out of the two methods, the multimedia approach was found more suitable with respect to the marks achieved. The study also concluded that there was no statistically significant difference in the performance of students based on their gender. These findings suggest that learning outcomes of students in biology can be enhanced with multimedia instruction. It has therefore been recommended that the computer should be used to compliment the teachers’ teaching but should not take over the teaching process. A similar study can be done but with more than one variable as this research used only one variable. x, 102p:, ill
