Unfortunately, the method of teaching adopted in preschool education levels in Nigeria has not been making children develop in all the domains as expected. This study therefore investigated the effects of hands-on/mind-on activities on the intellectual development of Pre-school children using pretest-posttest control group quasi experimental design. The results reveals that there is a significant main effect of treatment on Pre-school Children's Intellectual Development (F (1. 18) = 15.270; P &lt;0.005) among others.</p> 2012-12-01T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Journal of Educational Development and Practice
