    abstract = {Researchers and educators often place much
emphasis on the cognitive component of students learning
while little or no attention is paid to many other factors
that seem to contribute to students decline in learning.
This poses a major challenge to the education system in
Nigeria. This study investigated the contribution of
effective instruction, classroom activities and formative
assessment to the maximization of students learning
behaviors. The study adopted a correlation al survey
design. Three research questions and one null hypothesis.
guided the study and was carried out in Nsukka Education
Zone of Enugu state, Nigeria. The population of the study
comprised all SSII students in the zone from which a
sample of 210SSII students representing10% of the
population was drawn for the study. A validated
instrument for data collection developed by the
researchers had reliability coefficients of 0.79, 0.84, 0.86
and 0.81 for effective instruction, classroom activities,
formative assessment and students learning behaviors,
respectively was used for the study. The research
questions were answered using Pearson Product Moment
Correlation Coefficient, Coefficient of determination and
unstandardized coefficient. The hypothesis was tested
using regression ANOVA at 0.05 level of significance.
Result of the study showed that the amount of variation in
students’ maximization of their learning behaviors, based
on effective instruction, classroom activities and
formative assessment is statistically significant. The study
recommends among others that teachers should increase
the number of activities that challenge students creativity,
critical thinking, problem solving and study skills as they
learn relevant contents essential to life.}
