Abstract
This study examined lecturers' pedagogical influence on business education students' attitudes and academic performance. The study adopts a descriptive survey design. The study population comprised 4,809 business education students in public universities in the Southwestern region of Nigeria. A sample of 356 students was selected using The Research Advisors (2006). Lecturer Pedagogy, Students' Attitude and Performance Questionnaire (LPASQ), with 20 items, was used to gather data for the study. The LPASQ was duly validated by three experts with a Cronbach Alpha reliability coefficient of .87. The research questions were answered with mean and standard deviation. Independent samples t-tests and one Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) were used to test the study's hypotheses at a 0.05 significance level. The study’s findings revealed that lecturers’ pedagogy positively influences learning attitude and academic performance of business education students to a very high extent (mean = 3.37, SD = 0.72; mean = 3.40, SD = 0.69, respectively); there was a significant difference between the mean perception of male and female students regarding the influence of lecturers’ pedagogy on learning attitude of business education students (t344=19.66, P<0.05) and there was a significant difference in the mean perception of respondents regarding the influence of lecturers’ pedagogy on academic performance of business education students based on states of location (F2, 343=102.557; P<0.05). The study concludes that lecturers' pedagogical approaches can significantly affect business education students' learning attitudes and academic performance.
