Effect of Demonstration & Peer-Tutoring Methods on Learning Chemistry

"... So much academic activities going on in chemistry classes and laboratories, yet, so much woeful performances recorded by students in summative evaluation tests organized by W.A.E.C & U.T.M.E...!" was the recent cry of the college principal, Sharon De Great Home School, Niger State, Nigeria. The book, "Effect of Demonstration and Peer-Tutoring Methods on Learning Chemistry" is a documentation of experimental findings of academic performances of students exposed to a plethora of learning methods within the confines of conventional academic institutions. it suggests reasons for the "whys of failure" in chemistry, and attempts to proffer solution to curb it. Juxtaposing the category of students understudied with their respective mean performances, the author, in this book presents the perceived reasons to support the significant differences between those with academic performances and those with lower performances. The experimental findings, so pedagogically documented, make thebook an interesting read for Graduate students, Educational Research Fellows, Chemistry tutors, School administrators, Curriculum Planning Agencies and Boards of countries, especially in Africa.
