Abstract

This study examined two hypotheses: there is a difference between students' scores in the conventional and audio media instructional strategies and students' satisfaction with audio media technology influences their academic scores. We carried out an experimental study involving the treatment group with 166 students taught using audio media instructional strategy. The control group consisted of 167 students taught using the conventional approach. Both groups were subjected to similar assessment and academic scores were compared. Independent T-test and multiple regression tests were used in the study. Findings indicate that there is no statistically significant difference in academic performance between the instructional strategies. Furthermore, results showed that students' satisfaction with audio media technology does not influence their academic scores. It can be concluded therefore, that an audio media instructional strategy is another effective teaching approach. Besides, it can be concluded that students' audio media satisfaction does not affect their academic scores.
