Abstract

The study reported the relationship between science teachers’ classroom management effectiveness and students’ outcomes in chemistry. Sample consists of 60 students and 10 chemistry teachers randomly selected from 10 Secondary Schools in Ibadan. Data were collected using questionnaires. Pearson moment coefficients were used to test the null hypothesis at 0.05 alpha level significances. Science teachers’ classroom management effectiveness was found to be positively related to students’ learning outcomes. This finding has implications for policy formulation, teacher training and teaching-learning in science education. It was recommended that strategies be developed to acquaint both trainee and practicing science teachers on effective management in the science classroom.
