Activity-Based Instructional Approach for Improving Academic Achievement and Interest of Metalwork Technology Students in Technical Colleges in Lagos State
The study focused on activity based instructional approach for improving academic achievement and interest of metalwork technology students in technical colleges in Lagos State. A quasi-experimental design was employed with the population of 150 Technical Colleges National Technical Certificate (NTC) Two students. Purposeful sampling technique was used to select two intact classes for sample size of 104, made up of Activity Based Instructional Group of 42 students and conventional Teaching Group of 62 students respectively, which consists of metalwork technology students from the two Technical Colleges. Structured instruments were Metalwork Technology Academic Achievement Test (MTAAT) and Metalwork Technology Interest Inventory (MTII) and consist of 30 multiple choice items with four options drawn from general metalwork module. The reliability co efficient of MTAAT obtained 0.89 using Test-retest and Cronbach Alpha was used to determine the internal consistency of MTII items which yielded the rehabilitee co efficient of 0.81. Two research questions and two hypotheses were formulated respectively. Data obtained from administration of instruments were analyzed using mean and standard deviation to answer the two research questions while Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) statistics was used to test the two hypotheses at 0.05 significant differences. The study revealed that the activity-based instructional approach is more effective in improving academic achievement and stimulating students’ interest than conventional teaching method. The study also found that there is no significant difference between the post-test academic achievement of students taught metalwork technology using activity-based instructional approach and conventional teaching method and recommendation were made.
