Will cultural teaching methods influence student understanding of politics and bureaucracy in the public administration curriculum of African countries within the COVID-19?

The rationale of this study is first hinged on research deficit in topic difficulty in the public administration curriculum in African universities. Further, there is no single study in the humanities, particularly public administration (PA), that has explored the efficacy of the Culturo-Techno-Contextual Approach (CTCA) in easing learning difficulties among undergraduate students except for identifying the difficulties. Without testing indigenous teaching methods in breaking difficulties in the study of PA, educational managers and teachers in African universities are unable to understand whether the lecture method or the indigenous method holds the key to breaking difficulties in the study of politics and bureaucracy within the African university system. These compelling deficits in the public administration literature necessitate this study to fill the gap. In resolving this identified problem, the study seeks to find out whether or not there is a statistically significant difference in the achievements in politics and bureaucracy between students taught using the CTCA and those taught using the lecture method. In line with this problem, the study seeks to answer the question -- is there a statistically significant difference in the achievements in politics and bureaucracy between students taught using the CTCA and those taught using the lecture method?
