EFFECTS OF VIDEO BLOG INSTRUCTIONAL PACKAGE ON ACHIEVEMENT AND CONCEPTS OF COMPUTER SCIENCE AMONG JUNIOR SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS IN ABUJA MUNICIPAL AREA COUNCIL
Abstract
This study was carried out to determine the effect of Video Blog on achievement and concepts in Computer science among Junior Secondary School Students in Abuja Municipal Area Council. The study employed a quasi-experimental designed, pre-test post-test control group design. A purposive sampling technique was used in selecting two (2) Government Junior secondary schools in Abuja Municipal Area Council. The samples of 120 students across the two (2) schools were randomly selected and assign to Experimental and Control group respectively. Two research questions and two null hypotheses were raised to guide the study and were tested at 0.05 level of significant. The reliability co-efficient of CSAT was 0.65. The data collected was analyzed using means and Standard Deviation (SD) for the research questions, while the null hypotheses were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA), t – test statistics and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) using statistic package for social science (SPSS) version 20.0. The Video Blog Package was validated by Two (2) computer science experts from school of technology education, while the CSAT was validated by Computer Science teachers in the two secondary schools used for the research. The Video Blog Instructional Package was field tested at Junior Secondary School, Tundun Wada, Wuse Zone 4, Abuja with 20 students for Pilot study; the Pilot study is to test run the effectiveness of the package. There is no significant difference in the mean achievement scores of male and female students taught computer science using Video Blog Instructional Package (VBIP) the study also revealed that there is no significant difference in the mean retention scores of students taught computer science using video blog and those taught using discussion method. Based on the findings of the research, it was recommended among others that teachers and educators can utilize Video Blog Instructional Package (VBIP) for teaching computer science concepts but lecture method when used appropriately can also enhance academic performance of the students and Video Blog Instructional Package (VBIP) in teaching and learning computer science serves as a stimulus which emboldens good performance in their studies.
