Data for Reserach titled "Exploring Scientific Reasoning and Genetics Self-efficacy as Predictors of Secondary School Students' Achievement in Genetics Concepts"

This dataset is for the research article titled Exploring Scientific Reasoning and Genetics Self-efficacy as Predictors of Secondary School Students’ Achievement in Genetics Concepts. The data were collected using three instruments (Lawson’s Classroom Test of Scientific Reasoning (r = 0.76), adopted from the Lawson's Classroom Test of Scientific Reasoning designed by Lawson in 2000; Self-efficacy in Genetics Concepts Scale (@ = 0.88),adapted from Schwarzer and Jerusalem (1995) General Self Efficacy Scale and Biology Self-Efficacy developed by Baldwin, Ebert-May and Burns (1999); and Students’ Achievement Test in Genetics Concepts (r = 0.78), self-designed by the athors) from 336 Secondary School Two (SS2) biology students selected from nine secondary schools randomly selected from three local government areas in Oyo State. SPSS version 26 was employed as the statitsical software, while data collected were subjected to mean, standard deviation, percentages, ANOVA and Multiple regression analysis at 0.05 level of significance.
