Effects of problem and project-based learning methods on students performance in building technology

The study was carried out to investigate comparative effects of the problem and project-based learning methods on students’ performance in Building Technology. Quasi-experimental study strategy of pre-test, post-test and non-equivalent control group was utilized. The study made use of 148 NCE II stu...
