Effectiveness of station-rotation and flipped-blended learning strategies in improving study habits and academic performance of secondary school biology students in Osun State, Nigeria

The study investigated the effectiveness of Station-rotation and Flipped-blended learning in improving study habits and Academic achievement of students in Osun State Secondary School. It adopted quasi experimental pre-test, post-test control group design. The population for the study comprised all Biology students in senior Secondary Schools in Osun State. The sample consisted of 115 senior secondary school Biology students randomly selected from three secondary schools in their intact classes. Each intact class was randomly assigned to an experimental or control group. The instrument for the study comprised the Biology Achievement Test (BAT) and Study Habit Inventory (SHI). The result showed that students taught using the station-rotation blended learning strategy performed better than those taught using the flipped blended learning strategy. The result also showed that the study habits of students taught using station-rotation strategy were better enhanced than those taught using the flipped blended learning strategy. The study recommended the use of a more novel strategy like the station-rotation blended learning strategy in delivering Biology contents in secondary schools.
