RETRAINING NEEDS OF MOTOR VEHICLE MECHANIC TEACHERS AND INSTRUCTORS ON AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SYSTEM FOR TEACHING IN TECHNICAL COLLEGES IN BAUCHI STATE
Abstract
The study was designed to identify the areas of retraining needed by the teachers and instructors of Motor Vehicle Mechanics (MVM) trade in the technical colleges in Bauchi State, Northeastern Nigeria. The objective of the research was to identify the pedagogical and practical skills at technical college level. The research questions were; What are the pedagogical skills needed by MVM teachers and instructors for teaching ATS at technical college level? and What are the practical skills needed by MVM teachers and instructors for teaching ATS at technical college level? were used to guide in the conduct of the study. The null hypothesis was tested at 0.05 level of significance. A 58 item questionnaire which was face validated by three experts from the Department of Vocational and Technology Education, Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University, Bauchi State Nigeria and pilot-tested on twelve respondents from Government Technical College, Gombe, Gombe State that were not part of the study which yielded a Cronbach alpha coefficient of 0.993 was used to determine the internal consistency was used to collect data for the study. The data was analyzed using mean and standard deviation. The data support the conclusion that teachers do not feel confidence of their pedagogical and practical skills. As a result of the above revelation, the following implications arise. Teachers of MVM program in the technical colleges needed training and retraining in pedagogical as well as practical skills to enable them to perform their professional responsibilities in their practice. The pre-service training received by the teachers was found to be rickety and completely defective, which might not perfectly prepare them for effective job performance. The MVM teachers need to be retrained in order to update their knowledge, skills and competencies with respect to pedagogical and practical skills to enable be able to teach the learners efficiently and effectively, so that the learners can graduate as competent craftsmen, technicians and technologist.
