Retention of Knowledge: A Comparative Analysis in Petrol Engine Using Interactive Computer Simulation and Computer Simulation Video
Journal Title: IOSR Journals (IOSR Journal of Computer Engineering) - Year 2017, Vol 19, Issue 2
Abstract
This study compared two groups of four technical college classes studying automobile engine. One group learned using interactive computer simulation; the other group learned using computer simulation video. The study adopted a posttest, retention test, control group, quasi-experimental research design. There were three weeks (of 45 minutes each) of treatment for the study. Cognitive achievement and psychomotor performance tests were used to obtain data. The area of the study is Enugu State of Nigeria. 526 NTC 1 (average of 16-17 years old) students of Motor Vehicle Mechanics’ Work formed the population of the study; while 120 students were sampled from 4 schools out of the 22 schools managed by Science Technical and Vocational Schools Management Board (STVSMB), Enugu. The correlation coefficient of stability of the cognitive achievement test was 0.82. Arithmetic mean was utilised to answer the research question, while the hypothesis was tested, at .05 level of significance, using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA). The study found that the group taught using computer simulation video performed better than those using interactive computer simulation. It was also found that the difference was not significant. Based on the findings, one of the recommendations made is that computer simulation video teaching technique should be incorporated in the teaching of Motor Vehicle Mechanics’ Work
