    Effect of Computer Drill on Automobile Technology Students' Achievement in Lagos State Technical Colleges
    (International Research and Capacity Building Foundation, 2012-06) Fakorede S. O. A.; Lemo O. O.; Adegbenjo A.
    The study sought to determine the effect of computer drill on automobile technology students' achievements. High failure rate was observed to be pronounced and persistent in National Business and Technical Examination Board (NABTEB) examinations for the past ten years. This study aimed at seeking a student- teacher friendly method in aiding learning and thus reduce failure rate. Quasi experimental design was adopted for the study. The population for the study comprised 204 Automobile technology students in the six state Technical colleges. The entire population was used due to the relatively small and manageable size. The instrument used for data collection was the Automobile Technology Computer Drill Achievement Test (ATCDAT). The three research questions in the study were analyzed with the use of mean and standard deviation while Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) was used in analyzing the two hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The study found that students taught Automobile technology using the ATCDAT have a higher mean score than students taught using the conventional method in the achievement test, the study also found that geographical location has no hindrance on students' response and finally the study found as well that gender has no inhibiting effect on the students' recall ability in the achievement test when taught using the ATCDAT. The study recommended that Automobile technical; Teachers should adopt the use of Computer Drill in teaching, and that government and school administrator should equipped school with functional and well equipped Computer laboratory.
