EFFECTS OF POWERPOINT PRESENTATION ON ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF OFFICE TECHNOLOGY AND MANAGEMENT STUDENTS IN WEBPAGE DESIGN
Abstract
The study examined the effects of PowerPoint Presentation on academic performance of Office Technology and Management Students in Webpage Design in Federal Polytechnic, Bauchi. In order to achieve this, two specific purposes and two research questions were raised and two null hypotheses were formulated for the study. The study adopted quasi-experimental research design, specifically, pretest posttest non-equivalent control group research design. The accessible population comprised 54 Higher National Diploma Students of Office Technology and Management (OTM), Federal Polytechnic, Bauchi. The entire population was used from the two streams. The instrument adopted for data collection was the Advanced Webpage Design Performance Test (AWDPT). The instrument consisted of two sections. Section A was the pre- test while section B was the post-test. The instrument was duly validated by two experts. A reliability coefficient of 0.80 was obtained, using Cronbach Alpha reliability. The treatment period lasted for 4 weeks. The data collected for the research questions were analysed using mean and Standard Deviation. The hypotheses of the study were tested using Analysis of Covariance at 0.05 level of significance. The findings of the study revealed that teaching with PowerPoint has positive effect in improving Office Technology and Management students’ academic performance in Webpage Design. Based on the findings, it was concluded that teaching with PowerPoint presentation positively affects the performance of students in Webpage Design. Therefore, four recommendations were made among which are; OTM teachers should integrate the use of PowerPoint instructional packages in teaching Webpage Design as it enhances academic performance of OTM students; teaching without PowerPoint should be reduced, because it is considered to be ineffective in improving students’ performance in WebpageDesign.
Keywords: Office Technology and Management, PowerPoint Presentation, Advanced Webpage Design.
