DEVELOPMENT AND VALIDATION OF A PROGRAMMED INSTRUCTION PACKAGE FOR LEARNING PROBABILITY IN SENIOR SECONDARY SCHOOL MATHEMATICS CURRICULUM
Abstract
This study was on the development and validation of a programmed instruction package
for learning probability in senior secondary school mathematics curriculum in Benin
metropolis. The study adopted production-oriented descriptive survey design employing
the Design Science Research (DSR) approach. All the two hundred and ninety-one (291)
teachers in Benin Metropolis, thirty (30) computer science lecturers from three different
universities and five (5) instructional technologists formed the population for the study.
From which thirty-seven (37) Mathematics teachers, eighty (8) computer experts and Five
(5) Instructional technologists were sampled, using a multi-stage sampling procedure for
the Mathematics teachers and proportional sampling technique for the other two. A rating
scale was the instrument that was used for data collection. The instrument was validated
by the supervisors and two other lecturers from the Faculty. Some findings of this study
revealed that Mathematics teachers gave a favourable validation to the developed ADPIP
in terms of typology, legibility, Navigation, interface, functionality and Content, that
computer Experts gave a favourable validation to the ADPIP in terms of typology,
legibility, navigation, interface, functionality and Content among others. It was
recommended that since the Mathematics teachers gave a favourable validation to
ADPIP its used should be encouraged in schools.
