Data were obtained via pre/post-test, treatment-control groups and attitude questionnaire administration. The population was all NCE II chemistry students of Federal College of Education, Yola. Purposeful sampling technique was used in selecting a sample of fifty (50) students divided into experimental (EG) and control (CG) groups. Chemistry Achievement Test (CAT) and open-ended attitude scale questionnaire were used. The instruments were subjected to experts’ opinion, their comments and observations were effected for validity. The experimental group was taught using problem-based learning approach for a period of 30 class hours and a traditional lecture method was employed on the control group. Questionnaire was administered on the experimental group. The data were analyzed using t-test and descriptive statistics. Findings revealed that, implementation of problem-based learning had positive effects on students achievement and attitudes towards learning chemistry. It also revealed that gender has no effect on students’ achievement when expose to PBL. The researchers concluded that PBL enhances students ‘achievement and attitude toward chemistry.
