This research work assessed wood and plastic in building construction. The study was a descriptive survey design and as such made use of questionnaire with 42 items. The Population of the study was 110 respondent which include 40 building professional and 70 non-building professional. The data were analyzed using mean and standard deviation. T-test was used to test the null hypothesis at 0.05 level of significant. The finding of the study shows that plastic work form can be used for casting slab, concrete wall among others. The finding also revealed some factors that determines the selection of form work such as climatic condition, labour efficiency and that plastic formwork saves cost as a result of long reuse period. It is therefore recommended that; plastic and wooden formwork should be integrated often in the casting of slabs, beam and columns without discrimination, proper adherence to standards and specifications for use of any type of formwork, there should be large scale production of plastic formwork to conserve forest and wood, factors to be considered in the selection of formwork should not be ignored, there should be proper weighing of the advantages and disadvantages of each type of formwork relating to the scale of construction before the choice of any formwork.
The study investigated the effect of three modes of mobile augmented learning strategies on pre-service teacher learning outcomes in machine woodwork. It focused on determining the effects of mobile blog of Video, Audio and Text on academic achievement and retention of pre-service teachers. Two research questions and two corresponding hypotheses were formulated and tested in the study. The study adopted a quasi-experimental design and the population of the study comprised 350 woodwork students in the six Federal and State Government owned Colleges of Education in the seven North-Western states. The sample was 144 males and 42 females NCE III Woodwork students making a grand total 186. Two instruments constructed by the researcher used for data collection were: Machine woodwork Achievement Test (MWAT) and Machine Woodwork Retention Test (MWRT). MWAT was pilot tested using test-retest method and reliability index of 0.86 was obtained. The study findings showed that there was significant difference in the academic achievement of pre-service teachers taught machine woodwork using Vblog, Ablog and Tblog in favour of the Ablog. There was also a significant difference in the mean retention scores of pre-service teachers taught machine woodwork using Vblog, Ablog and Tblog in favour of Tblog. The study, therefore, concluded that video blog is more effective in enhancing students" academic achievement in machine woodwork and development of positive attitude towards machine woodworking. .

The study sought to determine the effects of the basic podcast and vodcast methods on students’ interest and ability in general woodwork in Technical Colleges. Two research questions were raised and answered as well as two hypotheses were formulated and tested at 0.05 level of significance. The study adopted a pretest-posttest non-equivalent control group design of quasi-experimental and factorial design for the study. The study was conducted in Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Abuja, Nigeria. A simple random sampling technique was used to select two technical colleges with 126 students out of a population of 156 years two NTC II general woodwork students in the three technical colleges in FCT. Abuja. The instrument used for data collection was General Woodwork Achievement Tests (GWWAT) and General Woodwork Interest Inventory (GWWIIT). The selected schools are Federal Science and Technical College, Orozo 72, and Government Science and Technical College, Garki 54. The instrument was subjected to face and content validation by three experts. The reliability coefficient of the instrument was determined as 0.78 using Kuder-Richardson 20 (K-R 20). Cronbach Alfa formula was used to determine the internal consistency of GWWIIT the reliability coefficient of 0.85 was obtained. The data for the study was collected by the researcher with the help of two research assistants through the physical administration of the instrument. The study employed the use of descriptive statistics using mean and inferential statistics using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) to analyze the data and test the hypotheses. The study found that basic podcast and vodcast teaching techniques had a positive effect on the interest and ability of students taught General Woodwork. The study recommended among others that General Woodwork teachers should adopt the use of basic podcast and vodcast teaching techniques to enhance students' interest and ability.
