Abstract
The study investigated the effect of role modeling on the performance of Nigerian female undergraduates in two Universities in Southwestern Nigeria. The study adopted a pretest, posttest, control Quasi Experimental design. A population of 236 women achievers in SMT careers was compiled into a book form. A sample of 18 women achievers served as role models to many female undergraduates in two Universities. Data were generated from questionnaire, interviews observation and achievement test. The results revealed the effectiveness of role modeling strategy and the need for SMT in Schools. This could help to sustain and retain girls to achieving success in SMT education at all levels of education.
