Journal Title: Educational Research International - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate technical teachers’ perception of factions affecting practical skill acquisition among technical college graduates in Adamawa state, Nigeria. The study was guided by four research questions. The population for the study was 41 trade course technical teachers from three technical colleges in the state. Whole population was used for the study. A structured questionnaire was used for data collection. The data for the study was analyzed using Mean and Standard Deviation. The findings were: technical teachers agreed that their schools lacked infrastructures such as workshops, classrooms, libraries, power supply and workshop tools and equipment for practical instructions. They also agreed that they can handle the practical aspect of their lessons effectively. The teachers were also not satisfied with their students’ disposition to practical lessons in the various trades. It was recommended that government should take a bold step towards providing classrooms, libraries and functional workshops with standby generators for all the trades in the technical colleges. The government should come up with a development of teacher trainer programme whereby teachers of technical vocational education can be trained more in their specific skill areas practically.
