by Dorcas Omanyo Oluwade (Igonoh) and Bamidele Oluwade

Abstract:
This paper aims to empirically investigate the ability of five academic risk measures, i.e., Working Capital Creative methods of instruction are aspects of reflective methods that help teachers to engage students in participatory activities that improve learning. Methods of instruction are the strategies adopted and used by teachers in transferring learning in a classroom and there are attributes expected of a good method of instruction which is to be used to teach a specific lesson. Observation however shows that the popular method of instruction (the lecture method) has not been much effective. Even though efforts have been made to encourage teachers to diversify the method of instruction, they prefer the lecture method because it is faster to cover the syllabus and to also attend to large classes. Other methods such as the individualized method, the audio visual aid methods that would have improved teaching and learning in this field have not been given adequate attention. This becomes a concern as Business Studies is a field that requires skill development; which means that effective learning cannot take place without student?s participation in learning activities. It is based on this that this paper centers on how to use the creative methods of instruction, such as assumption busting, brainstorming, concept mapping, random input, questioning activity etc, in improving teaching and learning business studies in all levels of education, especially in secondary schools. Since effective classroom understanding of Business Studies naturally translates into potential for business skills, the paper is significant for business organization/management especially in underdeveloped nations, with particular focus on Nigeria.
