Abstract
The study adopted a descriptive survey design to ascertain the technical student’s perception of Multimedia Interactive hiteboard (MIW) in teaching technical drawing and related courses. Three research questions and one hypothesis tested at 0.05 level of significance guided the study. The population of the study comprises 75 students. A 5-point scaled 24 item questionnaires titled “MIW perception questionnaire” was validated by five experts from the Department of Industrial Technical Education. The value of the content validity index was determined as one and the internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha) was 0.86. The test-retest reliability was conducted within the interval of 2 weeks and the reliability coefficient of 0.89 was obtained. The scores of the MIW perception questionnaire were described in terms of item mean and standard deviation. ANOVA was carried out to compare item means of MIW perception between the three groups of students while pair sample t-test was performed to compare item means of second and third year, second and final year as well as third and final year, respectively. The result shows that technical education students perceived MIW to enhance their engagement, motivation and interest in technical drawing. In addition, there was no significant difference in their perception of MIW use in teaching technical drawing. By implication, technological tools such as MIW can assist technical drawing lecturers to raise the level of their student’s engagement, motivation and interest.
