Abstract

The study investigated the predictive effects of motivation, attitudes, and gender on senior secondary year two students’ performance in woodworking technology in Lagos state. It employed the descriptive-correlation method of research and data were obtained using a woodworking proficiency test (WWPT) with a KR-20 reliability coefficient of 0.85 from the sample of 180 students randomly selected. Data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics, including mean, standard deviation, independent samples t-test and multiple regression analysis to test hypotheses at 5% level of significance. Findings revealed that motivation and attitude towards woodworking technology predicted students’ performance in woodworking technology. The male students differed from female counterparts in woodworking technology performance. Male students were more motivated and have a positive attitude towards woodworking technology than females. However, no significant difference existed between the mean scores of the male and females in all the variables. It was recommended that educational institutions should have significant influence on students’ motivation and attitude through provision of supportive services, training facilities to engender social creativity and achieving desired goals and meeting required students’ academic performance.

Abstract

This study investigated the improvement of basic technology students' achievement using differentiated instruction learning strategies in Nigerian junior secondary schools using a pre-test and post-test non-equivalent control group quasi-experimental design. The study was guided by three null hypotheses and three research questions, with the experimental group receiving tutelage using the differentiated learning strategy and the control group receiving instruction using the conventional teaching method for eight weeks. The Basic Technology Achievement Test (BTAT), with a KR-20 reliability coefficient of 0.85, was used to collect data. The findings revealed that students in the experimental group performed significantly better in basic technology than students in the control group. Furthermore, male students outperformed their female counterparts in basic technology with a differentiated learning strategy, though there was no significant difference between genders taught basic technology with a differentiated learning strategy. Gender had no statistically significant impact on students' achievement in woodworking technology. Furthermore, the interaction effect of treatment and gender on students' basic technology achievement was not statistically significant. The differentiated learning strategy made lessons more interesting and simpler, and it helped students form friendships. It was thus suggested that differentiated learning strategies be used as a close substitute for traditional teaching methods in teaching basic technology in Nigerian junior secondary schools.

Abstract

The study examined technology education teachers' knowledge, attitudes, and practices of occupational health and safety in the school workshop. Also influence of technology teachers' gender was determined. The study employed the descriptive correlational survey method of research. The respondents for the study consisted of two hundred and seventy-six (276) technical college teachers. A questionnaire was used to collect data. independent samples t-test, Pearson moment correlation coefficient and multiple regression analysis were used to analyze the data collected. The study found out that there was a significant influence of gender on technology teachers' attitude and knowledge however, gender did not have significant influence on technology teachers' practice of occupational health and safety. There was a weighty relationship amid knowledge, attitude and practice towards occupational health and safety. Attitude and knowledge were significant predictors of occupational safety and health practice. Consequently, the study recommended among others that occupational safety and health training should be provided to improve technology teachers' knowledge and attitude to better predict their practice towards it, the practice of safety be stressed by the employer, who should supply workers with safety precautions and appropriate clothes (personal protection equipment) in the job, effective procedures and corrective activities should be implemented in the school workshop to prevent and reduce the occurrence of accidents.
