Effects of Innovative and Traditional Teaching Methods on Technical College Students’ Achievement in Computer Craft Practices

Abstract

Recently, global trends in technological development have brought about innovations in educational paradigms, thus giving rise to significant adoption of learner-centered and problem-centered approaches with greater potential to impart the next generation of learners compared to a more dominant teacher-centered approach. In view of this, this study presents result of the effects of innovative pedagogy integration in computer craft practices among technical college students in Enugu State, Nigeria. Result shows that innovative pedagogies applied in teaching and learning of computer craft practices were more effective in enhancing learning outcomes than the conventional teaching method. Based on this, the study concludes that computing teachers should become more creative in their day-to-day teaching activities by adopting innovative teaching approaches that can make teaching and learning of computing studies more engaging to learners.
