Abstract
This study was carried out to examine the effects of drill and practice instructional strategy on students’ retention of electricity formulae in senior secondary schools in Ekitit state, Nigeria. Pretest post-test control group quasi experimental research design was adopted. Multistage random sampling technique was used to select one hundred students from four senior secondary schools in of Ekiti State. Physics Retention Test (PRT) was used to collect the data and analysed using ANCOVA statistics at 0.05 level of significance. The findings revealed that there were no significant effects of drill and practice instructional strategy on students’ retention of electricity formulae. Sequel to the findings, recommendations were therefore made that that the policy makers and curriculum planners should not only elucidate on effective conventional teaching method but also incorporate drill and practice instructional strategy due its versatilities among others.
