Background to the Study
In a developing country like Nigeria, there is need for efficient and well trained individuals who would be able to cater for themselves and participate productively in the development of the society. From the ancient societies to modern nations, education proved to be the most potent tool for survival, growth and development. Agbatogun (2010) conceived education as a systematic action of imparting knowledge, skills and habits to the learners in their preparation for meaningful life and contribution to better society. According to Lawal(2013), education is the act of giving knowledge to or developing the abilities of people by teaching, training or schooling.It is an instrument for helping both individuals and society to re-orient themselves towards more positive beneficial and more productive services.Eze (2013) affirmed that education,particularly technicalvocational education and training is a veritable tool for achieving the much needed economic and technological development. It is a fulcrum on which all other developmental facets are hinged. Technical Vocational Education and Training is the process of acquiring knowledge, skills, attitudes, interests, abilities, competences, and norms of a society by people to enhance perpetual development. In order to achieve this, the individual is exposed to different learning experiences ranging from individual’s culture, polity, knowledge, management, partnership, negotiation, 2 communication to information technology skill. It is in recognition of the importance of education that Nigeria has continued to make serious efforts towards providing the citizens with quality and functional educations for social, economic and political development.In making effort towards qualitative and functional education, the Federal Government of Nigeria(2013) in her National Policy on Education stated that one of the aims and objectives of education in Nigeria is to help the child acquire appropriate productive skills, abilities and competencies, both mental and physical as equipment for the individual to live and contribute to the development of the society. These skills, abilities and concepts could be acquired through the training provided in schools and colleges. The implication of all these for teachers is that they should develop and employ learning approaches which should encourage learners to participate actively in the learning processes. Teachers are to promote learning methods which bring about interaction among students and improve on their relationship with individuals in the classroom.Igboko and Ibeneme (2006) pointed out that traditional education practices such as demonstration and lecture methods alone have proved incapable of producing skills required for coping with the challenges posed by rapid technological development.
