Abstract


This paper investigated the impact of vee mapping strategy on chemistry students’ performance in quantitative analysis in Kaduna state. The pretest-posttest experimental control design was employed. Stratified random sampling was used to choose two schools which were randomly assigned as experimental and control groups. The experimental group was taught quantitative analysis using vee mapping strategy while the conventional practical method was used on the control group. A total of 80 students formed the sample size chosen from all co-educational schools in kafanchan Inspectorate Division. The instrument for data collection was a 20-item CQAAT in quantitative analysis. The results showed that students in the experimental group outperformed their counterparts in the control group tested at 0.05 level of significance. No gender differences emerged when male and female students used the the vee mapping strategy. It was concluded that the strategy is gender friendly thus science teachers should utilize the strategy.
