ABSTRACT

Teaching the concept of carbohydrates is essential in various scientific disciplines, including biochemistry, nutrition, and physiology. This literature review examines the teaching methods and students' academic performance on the concept of carbohydrates: implications to female teachers. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the literature on the concept of demonstration, inquiry, retention teaching methods and computer assisted instruction in enhancing student learning outcomes as well as the students’ academic performance on the concept of carbohydrate which was noted that students' academic performance on the concept of carbohydrates is of great significance, as it reflects their level of understanding and proficiency in related scientific fields. The paper also provides an insight in the 1977 Albert Bandura Learning Theory which states that behaviour is learned from the environment through the process of observation. In conclusion, the paper noted that combining different instructional strategies and incorporating interactive elements can maximize students' understanding and academic achievement regarding carbohydrate concepts. One of the recommendations was that educational institutions should incorporate visual aids such as diagrams, models, and multimedia presentations to supplement lectures. Visual representations help students visualize complex carbohydrate structures and functions, facilitating better understanding and knowledge retention.
