Utilisation of Video Instructional Package on Students’ Performance on Ceramics in Federal Colleges of Education, South-West, Nigeria

Abstract

The utilisation of Video Instructional Package on students’ performance on Ceramics was studied in two Federal Colleges of Education in South-west, Nigeria. The design for the study was quasi-experimental, and a total of 52 Fine and Applied Arts students participated in the study. There were 28 students in the experimental group; and 24 in the control. The respondents were purposively sampled from Federal Colleges of Education, Osiele, Abeokuta, Ogun State and Federal Colleges of Education (Special), Oyo, Oyo State respectively. For the study, there were three research questions and three corresponding hypotheses with three instruments. Data were tested using t-test for hypotheses one and two derived from research questions one and two. And ANCOVA was used to test hypothesis three, all at level of significance of 0.05. Findings revealed that: there was no gender influence on students in their performance in Colleges of Education (t-2.448 = p>0.05); and there was an influence on high, medium and low ability levels of students’ Ceramics performance in Colleges of Education (F=50.604 = p<0.05). Based on the findings, the recommendations are that, Fine and Applied Arts students should be encouraged and provided with more working tools to better their current performance. The lecturers of Fine and Applied Arts in Colleges of Education should endeavour to adapt and utilise Video Instructional Packages more often for teaching Ceramics in particular and others in general.
