Abstract: This study was conducted to examine the effectiveness of the use of learning kits among students to improve student performance on the topic of Mechanical Design. This study was conducted based on the type of quasi experimental research approach. The population of the study was Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Agama (SMKA) Falahiah in Kelantan. The sample consists of 52 students selected from 4 classes. The researchers divided the samples into two groups namely the control group and the treatment group. The treatment group is taught using a learning kit while the control group is taught using conventional methods. The instrument used by the researcher in this study is a set of pre and post test questions. When data is obtained, the researchers process the data using SPSS software (Statistical Package for Social Science). T-test analysis is used to compare the difference in pre-test performance and post-test between treatment group and control group. The significance level of the study was determined at p <0.05 level. The result of the data analysis shows that there were positive and significant differences ie 0.024 (p <0.05). Therefore, from the findings, it can be concluded that teaching and learning using kits to students can help to improve student performance especially in technical subjects.
