Abstract
This study investigated the effects of lesson planning and delivery skills on students‟
performance in Christian Religious Studies (CRS) in Senior Secondary Schools in
Kaduna State. The objectives of the study were: to find out the perception of CRS
teachers on the effectiveness of delivery skills on the performance of students in CRS in
private and public Senior Secondary Schools in Giwa Educational zone of Kaduna State;
to determine the difference in performance between CRS students that were taught with
lesson plan and each of the following delivery skills: Communication, Questioning, Set
Induction, Use of Examples and Resource Development and Utilization (experimental)
and their counterparts who were taught with none of the skills (control). Quasi
experimental design method was used to conduct the research. In this design, the
researcher used pre-test-post-test control group design. The sampling technique adopted
for the research was simple random sampling. 162 CRS students and 20 CRS teachers of
both public and private Senior Secondary Schools were randomly drawn from the 16
Senior Secondary Schools offering CRS in Giwa Educational Zone of Kaduna State.
Instruments for data collection were students‟ multiple choice test items for students and,
a questionnaire for teachers. Data collected were analyzed using frequencies and
percentages for the biodata of the respondents while chi-square and independent t-test
statistics were used to test the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The results of the
study revealed significant difference in the performance of experimental and control
groups. By implication, the students taught using lesson plan and delivery skills
(experimental group) performed better than their counterparts who were taught without
any (control group). This shows further that, utilization of various delivery skills in
teaching induces effective result on students‟ performance. Based on the findings of the
study, it was recommended that lesson planning and various delivery skills be
incorporated into the CRS curriculum; and teachers should be encouraged and permitted
to attend workshops and seminars where the importance, methods of lesson planning and
delivery skills are discussed so as to enable them to be efficient at teaching and produce
good results.
