Effects of Modelling and Coaching Instructional Strategies on Achievements and Interest of General Metalwork Students in Kaduna State, Nigeria.

Abstract

The study investigated the Effect of Modeling and Coaching instructional strategy on achievement and interest of General metalwork students in Kaduna state. The study adopted quasi experimental research design of pretest, posttest and nongroup design. The population of the study comprises of 171 NTC II students offering General metalwork in two technical colleges in Kaduna state for 2018/2019 session, the total population was used for the study. The instrument used for data collection were General Metalwork Achievement Test (GMWAT) and General Metalwork Interest Inventory (GMWII). The GMWAT was validated by test developer in National Business and Technical Examination Board with the addition of three validate, that validate the (GMWAT) and (GMWII). A trial testing of the two sets of instruments was carried using 30 randomly selected on TC II students of Government Technical Minna, Niger state. Kuder Richardson 21 (KR 21) was used for the General Metalwork Achievement Test (GMWAT) and a coefficient of 0.71 was obtained. On the other hand, Cronbach Alpha reliability technique was used for obtaining the internal consistency of the General Metalwork Interest Inventory (GMWII) instrument and a coefficient of 0.94 was obtained. The data collected were analyzed using mean while the hypotheses were tested using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) at p < 0.05 level of significant. The findings of the study reveals that, all the instructional strategies modeling and coaching significantly increased academic achievement; interest and retention of learning of the students but the group that were taught with modelling instructional strategy had the highest achievements. Based on the findings, the study therefore recommended among others things that more attention should be given to inclusion of modern instructional strategies such as modelling and coaching in technical colleges in teaching Technical and vocational trade subject such as General metalwork.
