Summary: | This study investigated the effect of student-interaction patterns on students academic
performance in Basic Technology in Edo State junior secondary schools using non-equivalent
control group quasi experimental research design. Two research questions and two null
hypotheses guided the study. The study was conducted in Edo State. A sample size of 138
vocational II students was drawn using purposive sampling technique and used for the study.
Three groups were used for this study; they are student-student interaction, student-teachers
interaction and student material interaction patterns. The instrument for data collection was
Basic Technology Achievement Test (BTAT). The research questions were answered using
Mean and standard deviation while Analysis of Covariance (ANOVA) was used to test the
hypotheses at .05 level of significance. Findings from the study revealed that there was
significant mean effect of instructional strategies on students mean performance score in Basic Technology; there was no significant mean effect of gender on students’ Mean performance
score in Basic Technology. In line with the findings of the study, the educational implication of the findings were highlighted and it was recommended among others that Basic Technology
teachers should be trained on how best to involve students in student-student interaction
patterns during instructions to facilitate students’ academic performance in the subject. This could be achieved through in-service training such as conferences, seminars and workshops for
technical teachers. |
