Abstract
This study investigated the effects of constructivist instructional
approach on students’ academic achievement in
automobile transmission system in tertiary institutions of North- Eastern Nigeria. The study was guided by four
objectives, four research questions. Quasi experimental research design non randomize
control group was used for the study. The population of the study was 592 NCE I students that offered Auto-mechanic 1 (automobile
transmission system) students in the seven tertiary institutions 2021/2022 academic session. The study used an
intact class from two institutions out of seven with 143
students that participated in the study. The instrument for data
collection was multiple choice test
titled Automobile Technology Achievement Test (ATAT). Split-half method was
used to determine the reliability of the instrument. The validation of the
instruments took the form of face and content validation by three experts. The pre-test (Achievement) were administered before the
treatment and post-test (Achievement) were administered after the treatment.
The results collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics to answer the
research questions at the 0.05 level of significance. The result revealed among
others that constructivist teaching approach has significant effects on students’ academic achievement and interest in
automobile transmission system. It was concluded that adoption of
constructivist instructional approach will help towards
addressing the low achievement and enhance the interest of students in automobile
transmission system. Based on the result automobile teaching
should be encourage by using constructivist instructional approach in their
teaching.
