Type: article
Abstract: The cross-relational influence of terrestrial versus aquatic insects’ activities on the learning outcomes of science students in colleges of education was conducted in north central states. 3 research questions and 2 hypotheses were focused for findings. It covered 480 science students within 3 purposefully sampled colleges, checklists of insects’ Direct distribution to science students of structured questionnaire whose validity was ascertained and the reliability coefficient of .891 was computed through Cronbach Alfa was used to obtain data for this study. Data obtained from the instrument were analysed descriptively and inferentially. It was discovered among other things that, there were harmful and beneficial effects from the various interactions that existed between science students and the terrestrial as well as aquatic insects that were present within their college’s premises. This study established the possibility of adopting eco-friendly ways like; exposing insects to their natural enemies as a means of keeping their populations within ecologically permissive limits while curtailing the devastating activities of these insects even as science students co-exist harmoniously with them in the same physical environment. Recommendations made include adopting the use of natural phyto-chemicals to control the activities of insects.
