ABSTRACT
The research investigated the effect of activity–based teaching on the academic performance of year 2 students of Akwa Ibom State College of Education, Afaha Nsit. To conduct this study, the researcher employed pre-test post-test (quasi-experimental) research design. A total of One Hundred (100) respondents were used for the study being the population of year 2 students which was also used as the sample of the study because it very was small. This comprised of 42 males and 58 females. The study adopted simple random sampling technique. The main instrument used for the study was Entrepreneurship Education Achievement Test (EEAT) which was researchers made. It was developed to measure the students’ academic performance in Entrepreneurship Education. It served as the pretest that was given to the students before the treatment to know the student’s mastery of the subject matter before the experimental treatment which consisted of 20 items each. The post-test came after the treatment in order to know the difference between both of them (i.e., the performance of those taught by traditional method and those taught by activity –based method). All items were multiple choice in both pre-test and post-test scenarios. The instrument was subjected to reliability test for internal consistency and a reliability coefficient of 0.87 was obtained. To ensure the validity of the instrument, the initial draft of the instrument was subjected to face validation. It was done by three experts, two in Educational Foundations and one in Measurement and Evaluation all in the Akwa Ibom State College of Education, Afaha Nsit. The data collected were analyzed using independent t-test and hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance. The findings of the study revealed that activity –based teaching method enhanced academic performance of students in Entrepreneurship Education and it impacted on the performance of gender in Entrepreneurship Education. The study recommended that seminars and workshops should be organized for Entrepreneurship Education teachers to acquaint them the mechanics of activity –based teaching method.
