Effects of Demo Kit on Remediating Senior School Students’ Misconceptions in Mitosis and Meiosis in Ilorin, Nigeria

This study investigated the influence of the demo kit on remediating misconceptions held by senior school students in mitosis and meiosis. The quasi-experimental design of the pre-test, post-test, non-equivalent control group was adopted for the study. A multistage sampling technique was used to sel...
