ABSTRACT
This study was carried out to investigate effect of mathematics laboratory on students performance in mathematics in secondary schools in Enugu State using 10 selected secondary schools in Enugu, Enugu state as a case study. Specifically, the study aimed at finding out the availability of mathematics laboratory facilities in secondary schools, investigate the extent to which the use of mathematics laboratory will enhance the student’s performance in mathematics, and find out mathematics teachers’ perceptions on effects of availability or non-availability of laboratories on students’ performance. The study employed the survey descriptive research design. Questionnaire was used for data collection which was analysed with frequency tables and percentage. The hypothesis test was conducted using the Pearson correlation statistical tool, (SPSS v.23). A total of 338 respondents were conveniently selected as sample size comprising of residents of Northern and Southern Ghana. Out of the 338 respondents, 259 responses were received and validated from the survey. From the responses obtained and analysed, the findings revealed that majority of the schools have mathematics laboratory in their schools. Also, the use of mathematics laboratory has enhanced the student’s performance in mathematics to a very high extent. Furthermore, the study revealed that there is a significant relationship between the usage of laboratory and students performance in mathematics. On the basis of these findings, it was recommended that mathematics teachers should use mathematics laboratory in teaching mathematics. Also, government should establish mathematics laboratory in all schools like other science subjects laboratories. More so, seminars/worships should be organized for mathematics teachers in secondary school on the use of mathematics laboratory. Also, mathematics student-teachers should be trained on the use of mathematics laboratory in the mathematics methodology class.
