Abstract
ABSTRACT This study determined the efficacy of the video-clip lecture strategy in enhancing computer science (CS) students’ performance in a computer networking course at universities in Gombe state, Nigeria. The study adopted a quasi-experimental design with non-equivalent groups of intact classes. Study participants were 136 CS third-year students made up of 87 males and 49 females selected from the two public universities in the state offering computer science education. The Computer Networking Achievement Test (CNAT) was the instrument used for data collection with a reliability index of .79 established using K-R 20. The scores obtained from the pre-test and post-test were analysed using mean and Analysis of Covariance for the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The study’s findings indicated a higher mean performance among the treatment group compared to the control group. Findings demonstrate the efficacy of innovative pedagogy towards enhancing learner engagement in CS courses, thus assisting students to become active learners.
