Abstract:
This study was designed to on the effect of mobile learning application on academic performance of students' in carpentry and joinery craft in technical colleges in Anambra State. The study adopted a quasi-experiment research design. Two research questions guided the study and two hypotheses were tested at .05 level of significance. The population for the study ninety-two (92) NTC II students of the five (5) technical colleges offering carpentry and joinery craft in Anambra State. The entire population was divided into two (2) equal groups (experimental and control group) of forty-six (46) students apart; one for mobile learning application and traditional method. The instrument "Carpentry and Joinery Craft Achievement Test (CJCAT)" one hundred (100) multiple choice standardized test questions adopted from National Business and Technical Education Board (NABTEB) past questions papers for the period of 2020 - 2022 by the researchers. The instrument was validated by three (3) experts. The Carpentry and Joinery Craft Achievement Test (CJCAT) was administered on fifteen (15) students of Government Technical Collage Port Harcourt. Kuder Richarson (K-R) 21 was used to test the internal consistency of the Woodwork Achievement Test (WAT) and the reliability coefficient of 0.92 was obtained. Data collected were analyzed using mean and standard deviation to answer the research questions and Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) was used to test the hypotheses at .05 level of significance with the aid of SPSS. The study found that carpentry and joinery craft students taught joint and jointing as well as scaffolding using mobile learning application performed better than those students taught using the traditional method of teaching which is indicated in the performance mean gain of the both group. Consequently, the researchers recommended among others that mobile learning application should be developed in all areas of carpentry and joinery craft and installed for students' utilization for better performance in technical colleges in Anambra State.
