Abstract: This study examined the relationships between Guided Discovery Method (GDM) components and knowledge retention among Electrical Installation students in Benue State. The research objectives were to explore the associations between teacher guidance and scaffolding, problem-solving activities, and collaborative learning with students' knowledge retention. A correlational survey design was employed with 323 valid responses from Electrical Installation students across technical schools in Makurdi Metropolis. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire adapted from validated scales, with Cronbach's alpha coefficients ranging from 0.91 to 0.94, indicating high internal consistency. Data analysis involved descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression analyses. The results revealed significant positive correlations between all three GDM components and knowledge retention: teacher guidance and scaffolding (r = .691, p
