The Male and Female Students Mean Achievement Scores of Technical Schools in electricity concepts using E-learning Teaching Activity and Lecture Method

The study determines the male and female students mean achievement scores of technical schools in electricity concepts using e-learning teaching activity and lecture method. Two research questions and two hypotheses were used. The study adopted a quasi-experiment designof non-randomized group pretest-posttest design. The population of the study was 6 Technical schools and 724 part II Students in the 2013/2014 academic session. The sample size was 223 (139 male and 84 female) out of the 724 of part II students of technical school college. A multi-stage sampling technique was employ for the study. Purposive sampling technique was used to select 2 Technical Schools (TS) which were co-educational (1 for control and 1 for experiment group). Again, a purposive sampling technique was used to select only part II students’ classes in the schools for the study. Two instruments were used for data collection, which included Electricity Achievement Test (EAT) and Electricity Interest Inventory (EII). Means and standard deviation were used to answer the research questions. Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) was used to test the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The results of the male and female students mean achievement scores of technical schools in electricity concepts using e-learning teaching activity and lecture methodwas not statistically significant. Both male and female technical schools students in education zone B of Benue State in the 2013/2014 academic session showed more interest and achieved higher in electricity lessons.
