Abstract

The automobile technology educational achievements of students in internal and external examinations have been a source of concern to Automobile engineers and technologist in this course of study. To overview this, various efforts have been put in place by them. CAI is used in the teaching and learning of Automobile education engine servicing in some Government and private secondary schools in Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni local government area of Rivers state. The study used the quasi-experimental design and consisted of all the senior secondary schools one of the Government and private secondary schools in Rivers state. Instruments used for the study were titled Automobile Technology Achievement Test (ATAT) and Automobile Technology Interest Inventory (ATII) respectively). Research questions asked were answered using means and standard deviation; hypotheses formulated were tested using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) at a .05 level of significance. The study revealed that students who were taught automobiles technology with CAI improved their automobile engine servicing achievement significantly. Students’ interest in the automobile technology engine servicing taught during this study improved and was statistically significant. The major recommendation is that Automobile education technology teachers should improve their knowledge and skills in the use of CAI for effective teaching and learning of Automobile engine servicing technology in secondary schools.
