Keywords:
ACTION model, Computer Aided Drawing, instructional technology, Technical DrawingAbstract
This study explores the effectiveness of a Computer Aided Drawing Learning Tool (CADLT) in teaching technical drawing to secondary school students. The research involves experts (technical drawing teachers, educational technologists, and computer programmers/software developers) from five government technical colleges in Lagos State. Using the ACTION model, CADLT was evaluated by experts for accessibility, interactivity, and its ability to enhance individualized learning. The findings show that CADLT is accessible, allowing students to use it without internet access, while also supporting self-paced learning. Experts noted that the tool is interactive and user-friendly, making it suitable for engaging students in complex technical concepts. Moreover, CADLT’s innovative approach provides a digital alternative to traditional methods, motivating learners and improving their understanding of Technical Drawing. The study recommends wider adoption of such technologies in schools to enhance technical education. These findings suggest that CADLT can serve as a practical solution to modernize the teaching of technical subjects, helping students build relevant skills for the future.
