Bridging the Gender Educational Gap by Use of Comics and Cartoons to Teach Pupils
Abstract
Gender educational gap in Nigeria has become an issue. This study investigated the gender disparity in the learning achievement of pupils taught by use of comics and cartoons in Enugu South Local Government Area of Enugu State, Nigeria. The instruments were
cartoon sheets and comic strips, achievement tests, and observations. The data were analysed using standard deviation. The study found out that girls achieved significantly higher than boys when taught reading using cartoons and comics as against using the conventional method of teaching reading. It was recommended that the use of cartoons and comics in the teaching process should be introduced in the curriculum of schools in Nigeria as a way to bridge the gender educational gap in the country.
