Abstract


This study determined the effect of video instruction on students’ achievement in practical agricultural science in senior secondary schools. To achieve this, three research questions and three research hypotheses were formulated. The study adopted quasi experimental research design. The area of the study was Gombe State; the population comprises all 8,752 senior secondary schools students (SSII) in Gombe state. A systematic sampling technique was employed in selecting two secondary schools from the area. The 74 students in the two intact classes were used as a sample; the treatment (instructional video) was produced by the researcher that contained practical topics on practical Agricultural Science SSII scheme of work. The instrument was Practical Agricultural Science Test (PAST); the PAST questions were adopted from previous NECO and WAEC Practical Examination questions. The instrument was pilot tested; the reliability coefficient (r) of 0.96 was obtained; using (PPMC). The experimental group was taught using instructional video for three weeks, while the control group was taught using conventional way for same period of time. Both the groups were pre tested and post tested. The data collected was analyzed using mean and standard deviation while the null hypotheses were tested using t-test. The students in the experimental group performed better than those in control group. Instructional video had effect on students’ achievement (P<0.05). In conclusion, the use of instructional video is as effective as the real specimen. It was recommended that. Teachers of Agricultural Science in secondary schools should teach practical agricultural science using instructional video in absences of real specimen.
