Abstract

The study investigated the Differential Effect of Prior Knowledge of Manual Technical Drawing on Academic Achievement on Colleges of Education (Technical) Students in AutoCAD. The design of the study was a quasi-experimental research design. The study was carried out in South-East, Nigeria. The population for the study was 122 NCE students of technical education. Federal College of Education (Technical), Umunze in Anambra State and Enugu State College of Education (Technical) were used for the study. The population of the study was manageable; there was no sample and sampling technique. The instrument for data collection was AutoCAD achievement test (AAT). The AutoCAD achievement test has three versions: pre-test, post-test and retention test, which were the same except for the reshuffling and swapping of the questions and options of the 60 questions used for the study. The AutoCAD achievement test was subjected to face and content validation. The reliability using Kuder Richardson (K-R 20) was 0.79. The scores for the pre-test, post-test and retention test were analyzed using mean with standard deviation and ANCOVA. The major findings of the study were that prior knowledge of manual technical drawing increases the academic achievement and retention of colleges of education (technical) students in the study of AutoCAD. Based on the findings it was recommended that manual technical drawing should be a perquisite course to AutoCAD in colleges of education (technical) in Nigeria.
