Abstract

The study was conducted to investigate the effect of power point instruction on students’ retention in computer science DBMs in colleges of education in rivers state South-South of Nigerian. Two hypothesis guided the study. Four research assistants were trained and used for the study. The research assistants did the teaching as administered tests. COSAT were used for data collection. The instruments were validated by three experts, two from computer science and in measurement and education. The internal consistency index was 0.79.The design of the study was quasi-experimental study of pre-test, non-equivalent control group. Pre-COSAT and post-COSAT were administered few days before treatment begins. Treatment lasted for six/6weeks after treatment, both tests were reshuffled and administered as post-test COSAT. The research questions were answered using mean and standard deviation while the null hypotheses were analyzed using analysis covariance (ANCOVA). The results of the analysis revealed that the experimental group obtained higher mean retention score that the control group in the post –COSAT. The difference was significant. The male students also had higher mean retention scores than the female counterpart.
