Abstract -This study was conducted to determine the comparative effects of synchronous and asynchronous instructional approach on College of Education students’ achievement and interest in Electrical Technology. Quasi-experimental research design was adopted. Two research questions and two hypotheses tested at .05 level of significance guided the study. The population of the study comprised of all the 190 final year students offering Electrical technology as a major course in Colleges of Education under study. The instruments used for data collection were Electrical Technology Cognitive Achievement Test (ETCAT) and Electrical Technology Interest Inventory (ETII). Similarly, lesson plans were developed and subjected to face validity by three experts. The reliability of the instrument was determined using the Pearson Product Moment Correlational Coefficient and was found to be 0.85. The research questions were answered using Mean and Standard Deviation, the Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) was employed to test the hypotheses. The study revealed that asynchronous instructional approach was more effective in improving students’ achievement and stimulating their interest in learning than the synchronous instructional approach. The study also found out that there was a significant difference in the cognitive achievement of students taught electrical technology with asynchronous instructional approach than those taught with the synchronous instructional approach. However, there was no significant difference between the mean interest scores of students taught electrical technology with asynchronous instructional approach and those taught with the synchronous instructional approach. On the basis of these findings, the study recommends among others that the National Commission for Colleges of Education should develop appropriate framework necessary for encouraging the adoption of innovative e-learning platform such as that of synchronous and asynchronous instruction while the management of the Colleges of Education under study should institutionalize and encourage lecturers to use asynchronous instruction in teaching. Finally, the Lecturers should adopt asynchronous instructional approach in teaching and learning electrical technology in the Colleges of Education under study.

This study examined the effects of non-verbal interaction pattern on students’ interest in keyboarding in Colleges of Education in Southwest, Nigeria.  It adopted quasi-experimental research design of pre-test, post-test non-equivalent control group design. The population for the study was 109 year one students of Office Technology and Management in state owned Colleges of Education in Southwest, Nigeria. Multistage sampling procedure was used to select 35 NCE I students in two of the Colleges offering OTM in Southwest, Nigeria, this comprised of 26 females and 9 males.  One research questions and three null hypotheses tested at 0.05 level of significance guided the study. The instrument used for data collection was the Keyboarding Interest Inventory (KII). The KII was developed by the researcher and was subjected to face and content validity by three OTM experts.   Cronbach Alpha was used to determine the internal consistency of the KII items. The reliability coefficient computed for the KII was 0.89. Mean was used to answer the research questions, while t-test was employed to test the hypotheses.   It was observed that non-verbal interaction technique was more effective in stimulating students’ interest than the conventional method in keyboarding. There was also no significant difference between the interests of students in the experimental (non-verbal) groups based on gender. It was thereafter recommended that NCCE should incorporate non-verbal interaction pattern into the teaching of keyboarding. Lecturers of keyboarding should prepare their classes in such a way that students are allowed ample opportunity to critically think, interact freely with one another, discourage students’ passiveness and improve performance in pair and group activities among other recommendations.

ABSTRACT Toilet training is an effort to train children to be able to control and urinate (BAK) and defecate (BAB). Toilet training is one of the main tasks of children at toddler age. Toilet training is one of the main tasks of children in toddler age which is very important to be done to create independence in children in controlling BAK and BAB and children know the parts of the body and their functions. Data in 2012 shows that ± 60% of parents do not teach toilet training to children from an early age. The aim of the study was to find out the effectiveness of toilet training education on maternal behavior and toilet skills in toddler age training (18-36 months). The study was conducted in July-August 2018. This type of quantitative research used the design of the Quasy pretest and posttest experiment with non-equivalent control group design. Samples were 36 mothers and 36 children with purposive sampling technique. Data analysis used Paired t test, Wilcoxon test, Man-Whitney test an Independent t test. The results showed that toilet training education through lecture methods, modules and maze games was more effective than toilet training education through lecture and leaflet methods on children's knowledge and abilities. Conversely, for the role of mothers in supervision there is no significant difference in effectiveness. Health education is recommended in health promotion programs to increase maternal knowledge, the role of mothers and the ability of toilet training children independently.
