| Abstract | This quasi-experimental study on creativity of Mechanical Engineering Craft Practice Students in Nigerian Technical Colleges was guided by three research questions and three null hypotheses. All the Technical Colleges in Ogun State were the population for the study. Two instruments tagged Problem Solving Instructional Guide (PSIG) and Mechanical Practical Test (MPT) were the instruments used for the study. PSIG consisted instructional plan stating the roles of participants (Teachers and Students), while MPT is a standardized test which has 2 practical questions of 6 hours. The instruments were validated by three experts and subjected for reliability test. The reliability coefficient of the MPT was found to be 0.87 using test re-test and Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficients. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used for data analysis. The result of this study indicated a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test mean scores of students taught with Problem Solving Method for hypothesis 1, no significant difference between the pre-test and post-test achievement scores of students taught with Lecture Method for hypothesis 2 and a significant difference between the post-test mean scores of students taught with Problem Solving Method and post-test mean scores of students taught with Lecture Method for hypothesis 3. Based on these findings, the study recommended the adoption of Problem Solving Method to improve students’ creativity in Technical Colleges. |
