Abstract
Yoruba culture is fast losing its holds as younger generation seems to less concern about Yoruba cultural activities. There is urgent need to salvage the situation right from primary school. Thus there is need for teachers to use instruction that can further motivate pupils towards learning about the culture. One of the instruction capable of motivating pupils at primary school level is 3D computer animation instruction. The study investigated the effect of 3D animation on lower primary school pupils motivation to learn culture. The study adopted the pre-test,post-test control group quasi experimental design. Sample comprised of 57 pupils selected from two intact classes. The Pupils Motivation Questionnaire was used for data collection. The two groups were randomized into experimental and control group The questionnaire was used as pre-test and post-test while data was analysed using Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) The result showed that 3D computer animation has significantly improved motivation of lower primary school pupils (F(1,56) =18.319, p < 0.05). It also showed that gender has no significant effect on lower primary school pupils to motivation to study Yoruba culture (F(1,56) = 1.450, p > 0.05). It was also found that there is no interaction effect of 3D computer animation instruction and treatment on lower primary school pupils to motivation to study Yoruba culture (F(1,56) = .072, p > 0.05). The study concluded that 3D computer animation instruction has effect on improving pupils motivation towards learning cultural aspect of Yoruba while it is recommended that primary school teachers Yoruba teachers should adopt the 3D computer animation instruction to motivate pupils to learn Yoruba culture
