Learning Dynamics:: The Interplay of Audio-Visual Materials, Locus of Control, and Student Performance in Technology Use - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

This study examines the effect of audio-visual materials and locus of control on the academic performance of junior secondary school students in understanding input and output devices in ICT. Using a quasi-experimental design, students from selected schools were assigned to either an experimental or control group. The experimental group was exposed to instruction through audio-visual aids, while the control group received traditional teaching. The data collected through pre-test and post-test assessments revealed that the experimental group performed better, proving that audio-visual materials are effective in improving understanding. Also, students who have an internal locus of control outperformed those with an external locus. The findings imply that embedding audio-visual resources in ICT education and promoting an internal locus of control will be beneficial in enhancing student engagement and academic performance, thus leading to improved performance in junior secondary education.
