Effects of Web–Based Instructions on Junior Secondary School Students’ Academic Performance in Selected Basic Technology Concepts in Nigeria

Nigeria’s Basic Technology (BT) education is crucial for preparing students for a technology-driven society. However, conventional methods consistently limit students’ effective engagement with technology, especially with available innovative technological strategies, which can also be used to enhance students’ learning and performance. Therefore, this study examined effects of web-based instructions on Junior Secondary School (JSS) students’ academic performance in selected Basic Technology (BT) concepts in Nigeria. Objectives of the study: (i) examined differences between the mean scores of JSS students taught BT using wizer.me and conventional method; and (ii) examined differences between the mean scores of JSS students taught BT using Quizizz and conventional method. The study adopted quasi experimental design. The population comprised all JSS 2 students in Nigeria, and target population involved JSS students in three south-west schools. Intact class of 115 JSS II students were purposively selected for the study. Validated Wizer.me, Quizizz, BT performance Test, and researcher-designed questionnaire were used for data collection. Data collected were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics at 0.05 significant level.
