论文摘要
数学是尼日利亚中学的强制性主题，该学科在国家的科学和技术增长和发展中起着重要作用。数学学生的知识短缺意味着可能无法实现目标，因此需要改善教学方法来解决该主题表现不佳的问题。这项研究评估了基于活动的教学方法对中学数学成就的影响。该研究的设计是使用完整类的准实验预测研究设计。发现表明，在控制了预测试对数学分数的影响后，接触基于活动的教学方法（实验）的学生的后测得分（实验）的平均得分与那些接受了教学方法（对照）组教学的学生的平均得分之间存在显着差异。该论文还建议对中学数学教师进行培训和再培训，以更新他们在使用基于活动的教学的知识，以使数学的教学和学习更加有趣和有意义。
Mathematics is a compulsory subject in Nigerian secondary schools, and the subject plays an important role in the scientific and technological growth and development of the nation. A shortfall in the knowledge of the students in Mathematics means that the goal may not be realized, hence the need to improve teaching methods for solving the problem of poor performance in the subject. This study evaluated the effect of the activity-based teaching method on the students' achievement in secondary school Mathematics. The design of the study was a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest research design using intact classes. Finding revealed that there was a significant difference in the Mathematics performance between the posttest mean scores of the students who were exposed to activity-based teaching methods (experimental) and those that were taught with lecture method (control) groups after controlling for the effect of the pre-test on Mathematics scores. The paper recommends among others that secondary school Mathematics teachers should be trained and retrained to update their knowledge in the use of activity-based teaching for making the teaching and learning of Mathematics more interesting and rewarding.
