Combating Students’ Anxiety and Promoting Meaningful Learning of Computer Networking: Should we trust CTCA?
Anxiety is a basic
human emotion that consists of fear and uncertainty. It must be reduced in
classrooms so as to win students to study computer studies and other science
subjects. The focus of this study is to explore the efficacy of
culturo-techno-contextual approach (CTCA) in reducing the anxiety level of
students and promoting meaningful learning of computer networking. The study adopted an explanatory sequential
mixed method whereby quantitative and qualitative data were gathered. The
experimental class had 62 subjects while the control group had 57 subjects of
junior secondary school 2 (equivalent of 8th grade) computer studies students
in Lagos State, Nigeria. Quantitative
data were collected through the computer networking anxiety scale and
achievement test with respectable instrument measures. The experimental group
was taught using culture-techno-contextual approach while the control had their
learning experiences through the lecture method. The descriptive statistics
showed that the experimental group outperformed the control group with the mean
anxiety scores (experimental=15.87; control=16.98) and mean achievement
(experimental= 15.79; control=12.21). The results showed that CTCA can be
trusted as a teaching method that promotes meaningful learning and reduces the
anxiety level of students in computer studies.
