Assessment of Innovative Instructional Strategies on Teaching and Learning of Electrical/Electronic Technology Concepts among Federal University Students in South-South, Nigeria

Abstract The study examined innovative instructional strategies on teaching and learning of electrical/electronic technology concept among Federal universities in South-South Nigeria. The study was guided by two research questions. The descriptive survey research design was adopted with a population of 128 electrical/electronic technology students of year three and four from four federal universities in the during 2023/2024 academic session. No sample technique was used because of its manageable size. The instruments “Improving Teaching and Learning of Electrical/Electronic Technology for Sustainable Development through Innovative Approaches (ITLEETSDIA) for data collection was the structured questionnaire that was further subjected to face validity by three research experts. A reliability coefficient value of 0.79 was obtained using the Cronbach Alpha statistical tool. Data were analyzed using mean and standard deviation. Findings showed that blended learning as an innovative approach greatly improves the teaching and learning of electrical/electronic technology for sustainable development in public universities. Furthermore, electronic learning was found to greatly enhance the teaching and learning of electrical/electronic technology for sustainable development. Based on these findings, it was recommended that an Innovative approach be made by electrical/ electronic lecturers to improve the student’s practical skills through the use of collaborative learning for sustainable development among others.
