Quantitative research approach with the use of a descriptive survey design was adopted. A sample of 150 SHS 2 students from Odorgonno Senior High School was selected using the census sampling technique for the study. Questionnaire was used to collect data. Data was analysed using SPSS version 27. The findings of the study revealed that, noise-making, absenteeism, unauthorized phone use, aggression, reluctance to complete tasks and low concentration were the range of behavioural issues among students. Based on the findings of the study, it was concluded that, behaviours are widely perceived to negatively affect academic achievement by disrupting lessons, reducing classroom engagement, and limiting access to instructional time. Implementation of strategies is essential for improving student behaviour, enhancing academic performance, and fostering a more disciplined and productive learning environment. Based on the conclusion, it is recommended that, students, school managers and stakeholders should prioritise the development and implementation of comprehensive behavioural monitoring systems. Again, stakeholders should support the integration of structured academic support programmes A dissertation submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Award of the Degree of Post-Graduate Diploma (Education) Department of Educational Foundations School of Education and Life-Long Learning DECEMBER, 2025 Mon, 01 Dec 2025 00:00:00 GMT http://41.74.91.244:8080/handle/123456789/5192 2025-12-01T00:00:00Z http://41.74.91.244:8080/handle/123456789/5189 Effect of tinkercad on Junior High School students’ achievement in geometry-a study of two schools in Accra Asante, O This study investigated the impact of Tinkercad, a 3D modeling software, on the achievement of Junior High School students in geometry. The study was motivated by persistent poor performance in geometry among Ghanaian students, which has often been attributed to abstract approaches to teaching the subject and a lack of use of manipulative learning tools. A quasi-experimental pretest–posttest control group design was adopted. The sample comprised 80 students selected from two private Junior High Schools in Accra. Whereas the experimental group was taught some selected topics in geometry with the aid of Tinkercad, the control group received instruction using traditional methods. A geometry achievement test, developed by the researcher, was used to collect data at pre- and posttreatment points. Both descriptive and inferential statistics, including paired and independent samples t-tests, were used in the analysis. The results revealed that even though both groups showed an improvement in their performance at the post-test, only the improvement among students in the control group reached statistical significance. Also, the mean post-test scores of the control group were higher than those of the experimental group. There were no statistically significant differences in performance by gender. The study, therefore, concluded that while Tinkercad did not result in any statistically significant improvement in academic performance compared to traditional teaching, it contributed positively to students’ engagement and interest in the lessons on geometry. Teachers should, therefore, integrate Tinkercad into effective instructional strategies, with adequate training and practice opportunities for students to maximize its full potential in mathematics education A Project Report in the Department of Educational Foundations, School of Education and Life-Long Learning, submitted to the school of Graduate Studies in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of the degree of Post Graduate Diploma (Education) in the University of Education, Winneba OCTOBER, 2025 Wed, 01 Oct 2025 00:00:00 GMT http://41.74.91.244:8080/handle/123456789/5189 2025-10-01T00:00:00Z
