Abstract
This study assessed the effectiveness of multimedia and field trip instructions on the
performance and retention of Upper Basic II Islamic Studies Students in Kaduna State, Nigeria.
Eight (8) objectives were formulated to guide the study among which to determine the pre test
and post test performance of Upper Basic Students taught Islamic Studies using multimedia
instruction in Kaduna State, find out the performance of Upper Basic Students taught Islamic
Studies using fieldtrip instruction and those taught using conventional instruction in Kaduna
State, ascertain the retention ability of Upper Basic Students taught Islamic Studies using
multimedia instruction in Kaduna State, among others. Relevant literature on multimedia and
field trip instruction and approaches were reviewed. The study was carried out using quasi
experimental design with target population of (10,161) Upper Basic(JSSII) Islamic Studies
Students and a sample of Two Hundred and Forty-Seven (247) from three (3) intact classes was
arrived at using purposive sampling technique. Data collected for the study was collected
through administering pre-test and post test of Instrument which was validated by a team of
experts and researcher‟s supervisors. The data collected was subjected to statistical analysis
using Statistical package for Social Science (SPSS version 20.0). Demographic distribution of
the respondent was analyzed using frequency and percentages while mean and standard deviation
were used to answer the seven research questions and the corresponding hypotheses were tested
using paired and independent t-test. The findings of the study among others revealed that
students taught Islamic Studies using multimedia instruction had a better performance at post test
than at their pre test (p-value 0.00 < 0.005). The use of field trip instruction in teaching Islamic
Studies significantly enhances the performance of students than those exposed to conventional
instruction (p-value 0.00 < 0.05). But the retention ability of Upper Basic students taught
multimedia instructions and those exposed to field trip instruction was found to increase at equal
rate which indicated that students in both groups had the ability to retain the content taught
longer (p-value 0.072 > 0.05). Based on the findings the study recommended among others that
teacher should be encouraged to use multimedia in teaching and sufficient multimedia facilities
should be provided by government to schools and Islamic Studies teachers and students should
be encouraged to be involved in study trip by school and parents as this widens their horizon in
observing life situations of concepts that are not possible to be observed within the four walls of
classroom. Curriculum developers, school administrators and teachers should promote the
integration of both multimedia instructions and field trip instruction usage in Islamic Studies
curriculum.
