EFFECT OF MULTIMEDIA PROJECTION ON SENIOR SECONDARY STUDENTS ACHIEVEMENT AND INTEREST IN SETS
ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study was to ascertain the effect of Multimedia Projection on Senior Secondary Students? achievement and interest in Sets. Four research questions and six null hypotheses guided the Study. The design of the study was quasi-experimental, non-equivalent Control Group Design. This design was apt since randomization of subjects was not done and intact classes were used. The population for the study was 2,809 SSI students made up of 1,246 males and 1,563 females and the sample size was 200 students from the four intact classes used for the study. Each intact class came from one co-educational school used for the study-two from Nsukka zone for experimental and control groups. Similarly, the other two came from Enugu Education zone, one for Experimental and the other for Control group. Multistage sampling technique was employed for the study; purposive sampling was used in selecting four state schools with functional computers. The four intact classes used were therefore purposely drawn from the four coeducational schools in Enugu State of Nigeria. Balloting without replacement was used in determining which of the two schools, in each education zone, becomes the Experimental group?s school and which one becomes the Control group. The instruments of Set Achievement Test (SAT) and Set Interest Scale (SIS) were used to collect data on the cognitive achievement and interest of students in Sets respectively. The four research questions were answered using means and standard deviations while Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used in testing the hypotheses at 0.05 levels of significance. The results revealed that the use of MUMPPAS in form of CAL package as a teaching method increased students? achievement and interest in sets more than the conventional chalkboard method of teaching. Both male and female students achieved highly as a result of the use of MUMPPAS and there was no significant interaction effect between MUMPPAS treatment and gender on students? achievement in Sets also interest of male and female students.
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION Background of the Study
Mathematics as a subject is the study of quantity, structure, space, relation, change and various topics of pattern, form and entity (Wikibooks, 2011). It promotes the training of the mind. It is an indispensable subject and the Queen of sciences (Guass, 1856).Borel(2014) stated that Mathematics is the queen of Sciences, a servant of Science subjects while Life (2014) viewed Mathematics as King of Arts, Queen of Science. It is also a science of number and shapes (Carl, 1984). Mathematics is used every day by everyone especially in this present scientific and technological world. Emphasis in Nigeria today is on technological development and mathematics is needed for this technological development. Linking Mathematics to development and progress through Science and Technology, Azuka (2002) stated thatthe arrows connecting mathematics with development and progress of any nation are as shown below:
Mathematics 
Science Technology 
Development and Progress. In line
with this relationship between Mathematics, Science and technology, Harbor Peters (2001a) remarked that mathematics remains the pivot on which any true science can rest and no true science can succeed without going through mathematical demonstration; that any nation that wants to develop technologically begins by developing her mathematical arts right from the classroom. In other words, mathematics and science are important in our daily lives. It is this importance of mathematics that has made Ukeje in Onah (2004) to stress that without mathematics, there is no science; without science, there is no modern technology, and without modern technology, there is no modern society. The implication of this statement is that there could be no real development, technologically without a corresponding development in mathematics.
