ENHANCEMENT OF SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS’ ACHIEVEMENT AND ATTITUDE IN PHYSICAL AND HEALTH EDUCATION THROUGH BLENDED INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGY
The study explored the enhancement of secondary school students’ achievement and attitude in physical and health education through blended instructional strategy. The research comprised two hundred and eighty-nine (289) senior secondary class two (SSII) PHE students. The study was directed by two research topics and hypotheses. “Non-equivalent pretest, posttest control group design” was used in the study. A researcher’s developed PHE Achievement Test (PAT) and PHE Attitude Inventory (PAI) was used for the study. The acquired data were subjected to analysis of covariance (ANCOVA), standard deviation, and mean scores. The study’s conclusions demonstrate that students who learned PHE using a blended learning approach performed better than those who learned it through conventional means. Finally, blended teaching strategy increased the attitude of students in PHE. It was recommended that the use of blended instructional strategy should be incorporated into the PHEcurriculum and its use be encouraged at all level.
