Abstract

The study was in determine the two modes of instructional methods on students’ performance in furniture craft. The population of the study consisted of 232 TC II students offering woodwork in Niger state. The study sample was made up of 192 TC II woodwork technology students. The quasi-experiment research design which utilized non-randomized pre-test, post-test, experimental -control group design was employed. Mean, t-test, ANOVA and ANCOVA statistics were used to analysed data. The findings revealed that: there was significant deference between the post-test mean score of the control group taught with conventional teaching method and that of the experimental group taught with Kolb’s experimental learning model and Gardner’s multiple intelligence learning model. It was recommended that woodwork teachers should be encouraged to employ Kolb’s experimental learning model and Gardner’s multiple intelligence learning model more in their teaching method in order to increase the level of students’ performance in woodwork.
