摘要:This study investigated how the gap created by gender in students’ chemistry achievement (as evidenced from various researches) could be bridged. The researcher tested the use of expressive teaching behaviour on the achievement of male and female students in chemistry. A total of 178 SSI chemistry students (82 males and 96 females) in four mixed schools in Oyo state were involved in this study, which employed the quasi-experimental pre- test post-test control group experimental design. t – test analysis of the scores of male and female students that were taught with expressive teaching behaviour were not significantly different (t = 0.40; df = 176; P>0.05). Based on this, therefore, the researcher recommended the use of expressive teaching behaviour for the teaching of chemistry concepts and principles to students. This, the paper claims, would enhance the chemistry achievement of female students as well as their male counterparts.
