Abstract

The study was guided by three objectives, three research questions and three null hypotheses. Plackett - Burman factorial design a sub design was used Quasi - experimental pretest, posttest design was adopted in the study. The population of the study consists of 80 students of National Technical Certificate (NTC) II of the only three Government Science Technical Colleges that have Electronic trade department in Gombe State that offered Basic Electronic. The instruments that was used for data collection was Basic Electronic performance test (BEPT) and Basic Electronic Rating Scale (BERS). The instrument was validated by experts and pilot tested, and the result of the pilot study was analyze using spearman’s ‘rho’ correlation coefficient. Before the treatment students was subjected to pretest and after two weeks, they were subjected to treatment. The marks obtained was analyzed using statistical package of social science (SPSS) version 23 to compute mean, standard deviation, mean difference and mean range to answer the research question. In the test of the null hypotheses, analysis of variance (ANOVA) was employed to test null hypotheses, all the hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance.
