Abstract
The study investigated the influence of teaching method on the academic achievement of student studying basic science in junior secondary schools in Egor Local Government Area, Edo State. The population of the study was made up of two hundred (200) junior
secondary school students and twenty (20) teachers. Ninety (90) students and eight (8) teachers were randomly selected by simple random sampling from three secondary schools. The instrument used for the study was questionnaires. The data collected were analyzed using simple percentage and frequency count. The result showed that most of the secondary schools surveyed don’t have
good laboratory facilities. Students preferred few class members as this situation helps them learn better during classroom lessons. And inappropriate application of teaching method negatively affects students’ academic performance. Therefore, the researcher recommended that Governments should be implored to give enough grants to equip laboratories with chemicals and apparatus, and also to provide useful materials and appropriate teaching. Also, more adequate classroom should be created with few students and reachers should be encouraged to attend workshops and seminars to improve on their existing quality and effectiveness.
