Abstract: Declining interest in science among high school students across the world is well documented although the extent of such disinterest varies by region and country. One indicator of dismal interest in science is below average academic achievement in the science subjects in standardized tests. Results from PISA, for example, provide insights into the achievement of participating countries and offers good feedback on science curricula in the same countries. This paper presents part of the findings from doctoral study on the effects of using multiple instructional approaches on secondary school students' learning outcomes in chemistry in Vihiga County, Kenya. The study employed a mixed methods approach using a sample of 550 students from intact classes. Five learning outcomes were studied........
