Abstract
The application of technological tools such as computers in education has significantly been enhancing teaching of Visual Arts which people believe are not lucrative and are lazy man’s work. This study examined the effects of Ceramics computer assisted instructional package (CCAIP) on Senior Secondary School Students' performance in Visual Art (ceramics) in Ogbomoso, Nigeria. Samples comprised 50 students from two purposively selected secondary schools in Ogbomosho Nigeria. The research instruments were structured questionnaire Visual Art Performance Test (VIAPET) and developed Ceramic Computer Assisted Instructional Package (CCAIP) developed using the five stages of ADDIE model. The experimental group was exposed to CCAIP, while the control group was exposed to VIAPET Three research questions were raised and answered and three corresponding hypotheses were generated and tested, hypothesis one and two were tested with t-test while hypothesis three was tested using Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). Results indicated that t (48) = 2.68 with p = 0.91, t (48) = 5.96 with p = 0.63 and F (1, 47) = 5.432 with p = 0.823, which implied that no significant difference occurred between the performance of students taught with CCAIP and those taught with VIAPET. Even though no significance difference existed, the study however recommends that CCAIP should be developed for teaching difficult Arts concept since it can create much excitement in students.
