Effectiveness Of Cooperative Learning Strategy On Students Academic Achievement In Technical Drawing In Tertiary Institutions In Delta State

Abstract

Research reports indicate that performance of students in Technical Drawing in Tertiary Institutions deteriorates every session. Factors such as poor method of instructional technique and instructional treatments were attributed to these poor achievements. A need therefore arises for exploring more effective learning technique for teaching and learning Technical Drawing has not been ascertained. It was therefore imperative to investigate the effectiveness of cooperative learning strategy on student’s achievement in Technical Drawing. A quasi-experiment research design was adopted for the study. Three research questions guided the study. A validated Technical Drawing Achievement Test (TDAT) was used for data collection. Mean and Standard Deviation were used for data analysis. The result shows that cooperative learning strategy (CLS) had a significant effect on students achievement in Technical Drawing. It was recommended that Technical Drawing teachers should use CLS to boost learning outcome.
