Abstract:
The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly disrupted educational systems worldwide, including Nigeria. This study aimed to explore teachers’ perceptions of the influence of COVID-19 on the performance of senior secondary school class three students, with a specific focus on its implications for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education in Nigeria.

A qualitative research design was employed, utilizing semi-structured interviews and open-ended questionnaires administered to a purposive sample of experienced teachers from various secondary schools in Nigeria. The participants were selected based on their expertise in teaching STEM subjects and their experiences with senior secondary school class three students during the pandemic.

The findings revealed that the COVID-19 pandemic had a substantial impact on the performance of senior secondary school class three students in Nigeria. Teachers identified multiple challenges faced by students, including limited access to technology and internet connectivity, disruption of practical laboratory sessions, reduced instructional time, and students’ difficulties in adapting to remote learning environments. These challenges were perceived to have particularly affected STEM education, which heavily relies on hands-on experimentation and interactive learning.

Furthermore, teachers expressed concerns regarding the long-term consequences of the pandemic on students’ STEM skills and career aspirations. They emphasized the need for targeted interventions, such as increased investment in digital infrastructure, teacher training for online instruction, and the development of innovative teaching methods to enhance STEM education in the post-pandemic era.

Based on the findings, this study recommends several strategies to mitigate the negative effects of COVID-19 on STEM education in Nigeria. These include improving access to technology and internet connectivity for students, providing alternative approaches for practical STEM learning, implementing blended learning models that combine online and in-person instruction, and fostering collaboration among educators, policymakers, and relevant stakeholders to develop effective solutions.

Overall, this study highlights the urgent need for comprehensive measures to address the challenges brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the performance of senior secondary school class three students, particularly in the context of STEM education in Nigeria. By implementing appropriate interventions, Nigeria can strive to ensure that students receive quality STEM education and are adequately prepared to contribute to the country’s scientific and technological advancement in the future.
