O OSUYI, AINETOR U ANTHONY

Abstract


The study investigated the effect of Demonstration Teaching Method (DTM) on students academic performance in basic electricity (BE) in Government Science and Technical Colleges (GSTC) in Edo State. Three research questions guided the study and three null hypotheses were formulated and tested 0.05 level of significance. Quasi experimental research design of non-randomized control group was the method used to carry out the study. Population of the study was 180 NTC II basic electricity students. Sample of 86 was purposively selected and studied. Instrument for data collection was Basic Electricity Achievement Test (BEAT). The instrument was validated by three experts with a reliability coefficient of 0.78. Mean (x) was used to answer the research questions while analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) was used to test the null hypotheses. Findings showed that students taught basic electricity with demonstration teaching method performed significantly better than students taught with lecture method. Also, it was revealed that the academic performance of male and female students taught basic electricity with demonstration teaching method was not significantly different from those taught with lecture teaching method. Consequently recommendations were made based on the findings.
