Abstract :

The study was carried out to determine the effect of project instructional approach on the academic achievement of Building Construction students in Government Technical Colleges in Ogun State, Nigeria. A quasi experimental research design was adopted for the study. The population comprised 115 second year Building Construction students in the two technical colleges that run Building construction programme in the State. The instrument used for data collection was Building Construction Achievement Test. Mean and standard deviation were used to analyze the data for answering the four research questions while Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) was used to test the four null hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The study found that students taught with project instructional approach had higher mean achievement post–test scores than students taught with the conventional method. Based on the findings, it was recommended that Building Construction teachers should always use project instructional approach to enhance students skill acquisition
