Abstract
This study examined the Effects of Constructivists Art Teaching Strategy on Students‟ Artistic
Performance in Universal Basic Education (UBE) Schools in Abuja Metropolis. Dearth of
research effort on the Constructivist teaching strategy on basic art at the junior secondary school
level was identified, and research objectives, research questions and basic assumptions were set
as a guide by the researcher. Related literature was reviewed to give the study a theoretical
framework. And the study being experimental in nature, adopted the quasi-experimental research
method whereby pre-test and post-test of experimental and controlled groups were used.
Population of the study was selected through disproportionate stratified random sampling
technique and sample was 50 students comprising (25 girls and 25 boys) of upper basic class
offering Cultural and Creative Arts (JSS 111) from the selected three schools (one private and
two public schools in Abuja Municipal Area Council). Instrument used for the study was Art
Appreciation Test (AAT) and the test consisted of 20 multiple-choice items, (objective type test
questions) administered to the two treatment groups before and after the treatment and scores
obtained were analysed by percentages along with mean scores. Findings revealed that students
performed better when exposed to Constructivist Art Teaching Strategy, and there was a
significant difference between the performances of male and female students when exposed to
the Constructivist Art Teaching Strategy. Students in private school performed better than
students of public school when exposed to Constructivist Art Teaching Strategy. On the basis of
the findings, it was concluded that the Constructivist Art Teaching Strategy was better than the
conventional method for teaching art in secondary schools and the study recommended that
Government should organize on the-job training, workshop, seminars, symposium, and
conferences at intervals for the art teachers in secondary schools to up-date their knowledge on
the application of Constructivist Art Teaching Strategy. Public schools should be given more
incentives by the Government in assisting the schools by encouraging art teachers in the use of
Constructivist Art Teaching method to improve art students‟ performance
