The need to evolve an innovative approach that can improve the practical learning outcomes among technical college students necessitated this study. Thus, the present study investigated the effect of innovative pedagogy integration in electrical installation and maintenance works in technical colleges in Enugu and Lagos states of Nigeria. The study adopted a school-based randomised Solomon Four-Group Design involving a treatment group versus the control group. We selected three hundred and fifteen (315) technical college year two (TC II) electrical installation and maintenance work students who met the study’s inclusion criteria from the technical colleges in Enugu and Lagos state of Nigeria. The intervention consisted of eight weeks of innovative pedagogy treatment. Electrical installation and Maintenance Achievement Test (EMAT) were used for data collection. We used analysis of variance, t-test for independent samples, and Chi-Squared for data analysis. The outcome indicated that innovative pedagogy improved students’ learning outcomes and significantly affected students’ EMAT achievement among electrical installation and maintenance work students in the treatment group compared to their control group counterparts. The study showed, no significant main difference across all the control variables. Finally, there is no interaction effect of pre-test and treatment conditions. Thus, the current study suggests that technical college teachers should adopt innovative teaching approaches to improve students’ learning outcomes, mainly because access to teaching and learning resources is limited. © The Author(s) 2021.
