Abstract
Influence of Time-of-Day of Instruction on the Performance of Senior School Students in Physics in Ilorin, Nigeria
Highlights
Physics is essential as it makes a momentous input to many of the inventions that shape modern day and has contributed to explaining many of the events being encountered in everyday life
Togonu-Bickersteth (2013) stated that in Nigeria, a sub- discipline, exploration geophysics, enabled extraction of oil and gas from under the seabed; and, alike, much of solid minerals and underground water resources. In spite of this huge benefit of physics, it is evident that the performance of senior school students in physics is not satisfactory as revealed by the poor academic performance of students in physics in external examinations such as the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) in the last few years
This study revealed that there was a higher prevalence of chronotype A than chronotype B among senior secondary school students
Summary
Physics is essential as it makes a momentous input to many of the inventions that shape modern day and has contributed to explaining many of the events being encountered in everyday life. Physics is pivotal to the technological breakthrough of the modern world.Erinosho (2013) reported that physics is basic to understanding the complexities of modern technology and is indispensable for technological advancement of a nation. The world depends on energy which is one of the basic elements of physics.Omosewo (2009) defined physics as a branch of science that concerns energy and matter and their interaction. Togonu-Bickersteth (2013) stated that in Nigeria, a sub- discipline, exploration geophysics, enabled extraction of oil and gas from under the seabed; and, alike, much of solid minerals and underground water resources In spite of this huge benefit of physics, it is evident that the performance of senior school students in physics is not satisfactory as revealed by the poor academic performance of students in physics in external examinations such as the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) in the last few years
