Abstract
This study evaluated chemistry practical (CP) in public senior secondary schools using Stake’s ATO model of evaluation, data were analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics; 60 respondents from 2 intact classes of SSS II randomly selected provided the data. Teacher’s Factors Scale (r = 0.82). Chemistry Practical Achievement Test (r = 0.81), Students’ Learning Facilities Scale (R = 0.81), Chemistry Practical Skills Test (r = 0.83) were the instruments. The results show a lack of laboratory equipment in schools; students possess practical skills; there is a significant relationship between learning materials and students’ achievement in CP (r = .145, p < 0.05); there is no significant relationship between teachers’ factors and students’ achievement in CP (r = .0.83, p > 0.05); there is a significant relationship between students’ practical skills and students’ achievement in CP (r = -.134, p > 0.05). This study establishes that practical skills and learning facilities improve students’ achievement in CP, therefore, teachers should engage students in practical work, the government should equip schools with practical laboratory equipment.
