DIFFERENTIAL EFFECTS OF TWO MODE OF INSTRUCTIONAL METHOD ON STUDENTS’ PERFORMANCE IN WOODWORK TECHNOLOGY IN TECHNICAL COLLEGES

Abstract

The study was to determine the tw0 m0de 0f instructi0nal meth0ds 0n students’ perf0rmance
in W00dw0rk. The p0pulati0n 0f the study c0nsisted 0f 232 TC II students 0ffering
W00dw0rk in Niger State. The study sample was made up 0f 192 TC II W00dw0rk
Techn0l0gy students. The quasi-experimental research design which utilized n0n-
rand0mized pre-test, p0st-test, experimental-c0ntr0l gr0up design was empl0yed. Mean, t-
test, ANOVA and ANCOVA statistics were used t0 analyze data. The findings revealed that:
there was a significant difference between the p0st-test Mean sc0re 0f the c0ntr0l gr0up
taught with c0nventi0nal teaching meth0d and that 0f the experimental gr0ups taught with
K0lb’s experiential learning m0del and Gardner’s multiple intelligences learning m0del. It
was rec0mmended that w00dw0rk teachers sh0uld be enc0uraged t0 empl0y K0lb’s
experiential learning m0del and Gardner’s multiple intelligences learning m0del m0re in
their teaching meth0d in 0rder t0 increase the level 0f students’ perf0rmance in W00dw0rk.
