Data analysis involved descriptive statistics for achievement, analysis of factors influencing achievement using thequestionnaire, and percentage analysis of student challenges. The findings informed the development of an Instructional Design Model incorporating R-2I-2C Pedagogical Approaches, which was the n e valuated for effectiveness by experts using a valid and reliable tool.
