INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Technical
education is the systematic application of scientific or other organized
knowledge to practical task, it then means that when one uses the knowledge
gained elsewhere to solve a similar problems in another environment
successfully then technology is in action or has taken place. in technical
education, the teacher quantity is critical because of the very skills, that
must be taught, the teacher becomes a general list if he can teach more than
three skills at all levels. The technical teacher must have some ability for
multiple skills and eventually for self employment.
Vocational
education is designed to help the learners acquire and develop skills,
knowledge and attributes for effective employment or progression in specific
occupations. This demands the learners to be adequately informed, prepared and
equipped for the task ahead. Nelson and Nies (1973) Okorie and Ezeji (1988)
believed that the more informed young people are about the needed work, skills,
the more they are able to maintain themselves in an occupation which best meets
their individual aptitude and interest. Vocational technical education is the
study of technology and related science and acquisition of practical skills and
knowledge relating to occupations in various sections of the economic and
social life (Abokede, 2000).
In
designing process of technical education courses as a double major, there is a
separation between technical education sources and education courses. Technical
education uses the methods and techniques of education, courses in the
teaching-learning of technical education. The aim of colleges of education is
to expand knowledge and the supply of competent experts to assist the nation to
accelerate its educational development.
1.2 STATEMENT OF RESEARCH PROBLEMS
The
negative situation is due to the failure of our educational institution to
inculcate vocational technical education on the young ones in the school as
these students are still in their formative and most impressionable years and
age when ideas are still very fluid and amendable to change. Any habit or
attitude developed at this stage will go a long way in the later life of the
child. The revolution of the role of good vocational and technical education in
our country cannot be left out. For education to be meaningful; and beneficial,
vocational and technical education should be introduced in schools particularly
from primary school level as children at this age are highly susceptible to
learning. It has been established that poor performance of reading gives low
understanding and low understanding affect individual performance. There are
some factors that may constitute problem in the rapid progress some of these
are:
1.
Political instability in government
policy making on science and technology process may slow down the role of
technical education in the national development.
2.
Poor funding of technical education may
slow down the rapid progress expected from College of education.
3.
Inappropriate use of methods and
techniques on technical and vocational education by the lecturers in the
delivery of instruction may slow the progress of skills acquisition by learner
in colleges of education.
4.
Unconducive atmosphere and relaxation
may slow down teaching learning process.
The
problem identified above, if care is not taken would not allow colleges of
education in Nigeria to sustain continuous growth, could deter manpower
development to work and genuine aspiration of the people to develop. It can
also reduce the output of the student’s intake, affect the strategies of
development, affect the productivity and the efficiency of performance and
create difficulty to more these colleges forward academically.
1.3 PURPOSE OF THE STUDY
The
purpose of technical and vocational education shall be to encourage the spirit
of enquiry and creativity in teachers and learners education. The spirit of
enquiry of creativity is a product of intuition or an acquired skill or
knowledge. A look at the same decree as to the purpose of technical and
vocational education says among others that the purposes of technical education
shall be the provision of technical knowledge and vocational skills necessary
for agricultural industrial commercial and economic development. The provision
of training to impact the necessary skills leading to the production of
craftsmen, technicians, technologist, engineers and others skilled personnel
who will be enterprising and self reliant.
We
should give and produce a multipurpose technical and vocational education as to
make the students of technical and vocational education to teach as well as
create things, the trainee of technical and vocational education should not
only be an intermediate product in the hands of others, but also as a finished
product that can re-invest in his own human capital stock skills and knowledge,
in other words, the trainee must be given the training that makes him or her
not only a seeker but also a creator of jobs.
1.4 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
The
findings of this study will be of immense use to all those connected with
technical and vocational education in schools and nation in general.
The result of the study will help in no small way ion how beast technical and
vocational education can be put in action.
The study will also turn a guide to the formulation of an idea school technical
and vocational programme geared towards the complete development of the
students.
It is envisaged that it would contribute to existing literature on problems of
technical and vocational education in schools.
1.5 RESEARCH QUESTIONS
These
are some basic research questions, which is to be carried out by the
investigator.
1.
Can inadequate technical and vocational
education teachers affect the teaching and learning of technical and vocational
education in secondary schools?
2.
Does technical and vocational education
help school children?
3.
Does poor technical and vocational
education give rise to poor learning?
4.
Does a good technical and vocational
education help school children to learn more?
5.
Can inadequate trained teachers affect
the students learning of technical and vocational education?
1.6 HYPOTHESIS
Based
on the research questions above, the following hypotheses are formulated.
1.
Technical and vocational education
helps school children to have balanced educational status.

Inadequate technical and vocational
education teachers affect the teaching and learning of technical and vocational
education in schools.
