ABSTRACT
The project focuses on the Identification of Difficult Biology Topics Amongst Senior Secondary School Students in Makurdi metropolis. It investigated the topics in biology that students find difficult either to learn and comprehend or to answer questions in the areas of those topics during examination. The researcher adopted the descriptive survey research design in carrying out the research. This involves appropriate usage of a well-designed questionnaire. The population consisted of the four (4) selected senior secondary school students in Makurdi metropolis. 100 senior secondary school (SSII) Biology students were selected from four (4) secondary schools students from each school were sampled using stratified random sampling method. The research questions were answered using means and simple percentages while the hypotheses were analyzed using T-test at 0.05 level of significance. The sixteen most prevalent topics were Living Things, Excretory system, Respiratory system, Digestive System, Transport system, Nervous system, Ecology, Evolution, Genetics, Energy Transformation, Hormonal Coordination, Conservation of Natural Resources, Variation in Population, Reproductive System, Population and Circulatory System. The students listed several reasons for having difficulties learning biology. Among these, the nature of the topic, teachers’ style of teaching biology, students’ learning and studying habits, students’ negative feelings and attitudes towards the topic and lack of resources predominated. They also proposed that the content of biology curricula be reduced and that the number of biology questions in the examination be increased.
