- Abstract
- The research study examined the effectiveness of remedial education in improving the teaching and learning outcomes in Combined Science at the Ordinary level at Macheke High School, Murewa District. The study adopted an experimental research design, employing quantitative data collection methods through the use of closed questionnaires. Pre- and Post-tests were used to complement the findings from questionnaires. The collected data was then subjected to quantitative analysis and presented in the form of tables, graphs and pie-charts. Various authorities agreed that, remediation is important in the teaching and learning process and it improves the performance of poor performing pupils. The results indicated that remedial interventions significantly improved students’ achievement in Combined Science. The study recommended that school administrator’s allocate time for remediation in their school timetable. It was also recommended that teachers make an effort to identify the students in need of remediation and assist them to catch up with their colleagues and pass their studies. It was also noted that policy makers must make remediation a compulsory component of the academic programme in schools. This is not supposed to be only on paper but in practice. Manpower, financial and material resources must be availed to allow full implementation of remediation. Finally the researcher noted the weakness of the research since it was carried at one institution so the research study recommended that the same research be carried out at a larger scale to allow room for generalization.
