Background to the Study
In a rapid developing country like Nigeria, the need for educational institutions to produce craftsmen and master craftsmen with job-related skills and competence required in the work place has been a major concern to employers of labour. These cadres of human capital Adelakun (2011) pointed out are mostly trained at the technical colleges. Technical college is the post basic school level of Nigeria vocational education system, which was established to produce craftsmen and master craftsmen. Technical college programme is intended to prepare students for entry into various occupations. In technical colleges, students are trained to acquire relevant knowledge and skills in different occupations for employment in the world of work. According to Federal Republic of Nigeria, (FRN) (2013), the students of technical colleges upon graduation are expected to either be employable in the industry or be self employed. In order to achieve this goal, technical college curriculum was split into different trades with corresponding modules so as to enable learners choose and accomplish trade of their interest successfully. One among the various trades offered at 2 the technical colleges is the automobile trade whose components include auto electric works, motor vehicle mechanics, vehicle body building and agricultural implement mechanics. Auto mechanics, according to FRN (2013), is one of the vocational trades offered at the technical college level as motor vehicle mechanics. The philosophy of auto mechanics programme according to the National Board for Technical Education, (NBTE) (2013) is to produce competent craftsmen and technicians in auto mechanics trade for Nigeria’s technological and industrial development. Auto mechanics craftsmen are expected to test, diagnose, service and completely repair any fault relating to the conventional vehicles and also assemble main units and systems by following the manufacturers’ specifications. It is important therefore, that auto mechanics technicians are equipped with current skills and knowledge to be able to efficiently carry out maintenance work and repair modern highly automated and computerized electronics gadgets in modern vehicles. To achieve these objectives auto mechanic teachers need to adopt instructional methods that have strong links to the needs of the workplace.
