ABSTRACT
Vocational training is important in achieving economic empowerment and
independence in persons with intellectual disability. However, pupils with intellectual
disability often enter the labour market in Nigeria without receiving vocational
training resulting into serious challenges to these pupils. Several existing research on
pupils with intellectual disability focused on improving academic performance, while
few studies have been done on enhancing their vocational interest using Explicit and
Visual Instructional strategies. This study, therefore, investigated the impact of
Explicit Instructional Strategy (EIS) and Visual Instructional Strategy (VIS) in
enhancing the vocational interest of pupils with mild intellectual disability in Ibadan,
Nigeria.
The study adopted a pretest-posttest control group, quasi experimental research design
with a 3x2 factorial matrix. Thirty primary five pupils with mild intellectual disability
were purposively selected from three special schools for the handicapped in Ibadan,
Oyo State, Nigeria. Selected pupils in each school were randomly assigned to the two
experimental groups (EIS and VIS) and control group. Data were obtained using
Slosson‘s Intelligence Test (r=0.86), Reading-Free Vocational Interest Inventory
(r=0.90) and Socio-Economic Status Scale (r=0.87). Participants in the experimental
groups were exposed to eight weeks of vocational interest training using EIS and VIS
strategies. Five hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance while data were
analysed using descriptive statistics, t-test, Analysis of Covariance and Duncan post
hoc test.
The experimental groups (EIS and VIS) had higher vocational interest scores than
those in the control group (F(2,29)=8.04; p
