This paper evaluates the effectiveness of teaching and learning 3-D computer-aided design (CAD) in the Department of Integrated Rural Art and Industry (IRAI) at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology in Ghana. The program aims to equip learners with practical skills to enhance their execution of works of art using state-of-the-art technologies. However, despite being introduced into the IRAI curriculum over 10 years ago, an evaluation has not been conducted to assess its effectiveness and impact on learners. In view of this, the study sought to evaluate the effectiveness of the teaching and learning of 3-D CAD in the Department of IRAI. The researchers employed a mixed-method research design and utilized descriptive statistical methods to collect and analyze data for the study. Kirkpatrick's 4 Levels of Instructional Evaluation Model was adopted as a lens to gain insight into the effectiveness of 3-D CAD on students. 209 respondents made up of 207 fourth-year and third-year undergraduate students as well as 2 lecturers were purposively sampled for the study. The findings revealed that 3-D CAD enhanced traditional methods of designing and problemsolving, leading students to become more aware of new aspects of visual expression. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
