EFFECT OF MEASUREMENT AND EVALUATION OF INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS AND PUPILS ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT

ABSTRACT

This work discusseseffect of measurement and evaluation of instructional materials and pupils academic achievement.

This study was undertaken to examine the extent of use of instructional materials for effective teaching and learning of technical education. Sixty students were randomly selected from two schools which implies that each of the school have thirty students. Pretest was administered before the random selection of the students just to know the level of their entry point. The first school was assigned letter x while the second school was assigned letter Y School X was later taught with the various use of instructional media while school Y was taught without the use of instructional media Technical education achievement just (LAT) was administered to the students while comprise of fifteen items. The result of the two schools where later analyzed with the use of person’s product correlation coefficient (r) Some research hypothesis was postulated and they was later losted through the use of person product correlation coefficient “r” The research findings were discussed; their implications on students performances were highlighted and appropriate recommendation were made. At the end of the day, if was observed that those taught with the use of instructional media performance better than those students taught without the use of instructional media It was the advising that relevant instructional media should so as to make the concept more explanatory and to facilitate the interest of the students in the teaching learning process.

INTRODUCTION

1.1 BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY

Teachers of yester-year in secondary school in discipline of technical education relied on few or no instructional materials at all in their teaching. They believe they can force knowledge no matter how unpleasant into the empty brain of the children or pupils. This made learning of technical education for most pupils become unpleasant superficial learning or no learning at all time.

Technical education is a source of constant fear for many students in technical education have fail to recognized the fact that learning should consist of pleasurable activities for the same time, the teachers need to appeal to all their senses (seeing learning smelling and touching). Furthermore, the teachers should also note that ineffective use of instructional materials (like concrete objects hairs textbooks, chalkboard and picture) for teaching technical education in secondary school has discouraged many students from learning technical education.

It is important to emphasize once again that technical education is a “tool” it is real and should be treated as such. The difficulty posed by the technical education has generated a lot of discussions.

Many people including our educators do not realized that one of the reason why many students perform very poor and below expectation in technical education is that the schools lack of relevant instructional media.

Therefore for effective understanding of the subject matter in technical education and for students to perform better in technical education in Nigeria school examination, there is the need to examine the impact or effect of instructional materials on students performance in technical education with the aim of stimulating the interest of the students in the subject it is well known among educators that the education experience involving the learners activity participating in concrete examples can retain longer than abstract experience. The instructional media add element of reality by proving such concrete examples. The teaching of technical education course has always been based on a limited knowledge based, and as a result the utilization of instructional media among teachers often rely on traditional isolation of the classroom setting provide access to expensive resources and improve overall productivity.

Saye (2006) to achieve the desire outcome with the utilization of technology, the teaching of technical education must focus not only on making teachers competent at using such technology but at the same time promote strategies that enable the integrated of technology. Bolick et al (2008) pointed to a precarious relationship between the teaching of technical education and utilization of instructional media. They argued that while some educators have been fascinated by the potential media to enhance teaching and learning many schools have lagged behind in assimilating instructional media into instruction. Others express doubt that instructional media will ever in like instructional reform in technical education. They stated that this conflict has led some researchers to conclude that technical education has not applicably changed as a result of instructional media.

The technology in secondary schools instruction has been widely researched but many questions still remain unanswered.

Research in various relevant areas is still needed. Educators are asking if the use of instructional media will make a difference in the performance of students. At the same time, teachers are asking if there exist the best tool to assist in the course of delivery. The learning environment of a classroom assisted by instructional technology is different from one without technology and the question remains regarding the benefit of technology in the classroom. Do that means that students are actively engage in learning? Would the thinking skills among students and facilitate the preferred inquiry based learning: the teaching and strategies and the curriculum are all affected by the inclusion of instructional media and research would continue to add new information and shape to the evolution of instructional technology in the classroom. Active learning in technical education involves providing the opportunities for students for participate meaningfully by talking and listening, writing, reading and reflecting on the content, unfortunately many classrooms continue to be dominated by a single medium and this is usually the printed textbooks. This dominance prevents teachers from reaching all students, instead if forced them to cater for those who find the texts accessible and this creates barriers for those who do not. There are further consequences. Even though students are able to access. The are missing, there are media readily available that are more suitable for communicating, student’s preferences and proclivities for certain media and tools can plan an important role in depending their engagement and enhancing their learning experiences.

Collecting and maintaining a sufficiently varied assortment of traditional media that would allow us to create an optimal instruction environment for every student in unit of curriculum would be incredibly costly insurmountable logistic problem. More instructional media is not a reasonable alternative. Teachers do not necessarily need more media but what they need while worth and Benson (2003) indicate that there is a need for research on the use and effectiveness of instruction media in technical education classroom that would enhance technical education education.

The effective usage of instructional; media has dramatically increased in the last two decades. According to Abu Jabber (2004) the importance of instructional media for both teachers and students cannot be over emphasized. In technical education the use of instruction media is essential to support learning because technical education are concerned about little calculation which cannot be easily empresses without the support of video and picture etc. Corsor point out the use of instructional media in technical education, classroom widens the channel of communication between teachers and their students the instructional media allow the growth of specific learning abilities and motor skills. The use of charts and model enable the teachers to present and illustrate many physical phenomenal and issue easily and at some time, allows them to focus attention on the characteristics of objects. In computer based instructional the use of such media technical education lesson are imperative as it makes a valuable contribution to the quality of students learning such media can be used in several ways in technical education lesson. Power point for instance can used to present technical education issues (diagram) Recece and Walker (2001) also pointed out that similarly effective learning to the professional use of visual aids

1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
