| Managerial challenges in the Supervision of 21st Century technical and vocational education and training programmes in government technical colleges in Rivers State. |
The study determined the managerial challenges in the supervision of 21st century Technical and
Vocational Education and Training Programmes in Government Technical Colleges in Rivers State. The
study adopted descriptive survey design. The population of the study comprised 146 teachers and 24
school managers. No sampling was done as the population was manageable. Two research questions and
two hypothesis were answered and tested. A self-instructed survey questionnaire was developed to elicit
responses from the respondents. The instrument was validated by three experts. The reliability of the
instrument was established using Cronbach Alpha Reliability Coefficient. The reliability coefficient
achieved was .84. Statistical Mean was used to answer the research questions while standard deviation
was used to determine the homogeneity in the responses of the respondent and z-test was used to test the
hypothesis. The study found among others that poor management system, inadequate infrastructural
facilities, poor conceptual skills and poor feedback channels are managerial challenges in the supervision
of technical and vocational education and training programmes in government technical colleges in
Rivers state, lack of 21st century monitory gadgets (CCTV Camera) in the classrooms and workshops. It
was recommended among others that school managers should be given on-the-job training regularly on
how to plan and direct internal supervision for the appropriate implementation/achievement of the goals
of Technical and Vocational Education and Training in Rivers State. |

| appraisal of theoretical models of psychomotor skills and applications to technical vocational education and training (TVET) system in Nigeria APPRAISAL OF THEORETICAL MODELS OF PSYCHOMOTOR SKILLS AND APPLICATIONS TO TECHNICAL VOCATIONAL EDUCATION AND TRAINING (TVET) SYSTEM IN NIGERIA |
Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) is recognized by many as the greatest weapon that can be used to achieve desirable changes and development of a nation. The learning experiences in TVET may occur in a variety of learning contexts, including educational institutions and work places. Effective human performance in (TVET) consists of the successful interactive effects of skills, knowledge and attitude. TVET programmes, therefore, aim to develop all three of these domains of learning but with greater emphasis on psychomotor domain which deals primarily with practical skill development of an individual. Literature abound with a variety of theoretical models classifying psychomotor skills which can be used in defining instructional objectives in TVET. This paper therefore attempted to highlight each of these models of psychomotor domains and their pplicability in defining objectives for skill development of learners in Nigerian TVET system |

| Effects of Simulated-Building-Drawing Model on Students’ Academic Achievement in Building Technology in Polytechnics in Rivers State |
The study focused on the effect of simulated-building-drawing on students’ achievement in Building Technology
in Polytechnics in Rivers State. The study explore effects of simulated-building-drawing on students’ achievement
in masonry works and damp proofing skills in Polytechnics in Rivers State. Two purposes, research questions and
hypotheses guided the study. The design of this study is a quasi-experimental pre-test, post-test design with
experimental and non-equivalent groups. The population for the study comprised 160 National Diploma Level II
Building Technology students in the two Polytechnic in Rivers State selected for the study. Purposive random
sampling technique was used to select the two Polytechnics in Rivers State. Furthermore, the intact classes used
indicated that the entire ND II Building Technology students in Captain Elechi Amadi and Ken Sarowiwa
Polytechnics were used. The instrument, lesson plans and the Table of specification/Test Blue Print were subjected
to face and content validation by two experts. The instrument has a reliability index of .87. The findings of the
study revealed that the experimental group had a higher achievement mean score when compared with the control
group and so on. The following recommendations were made based on the findings of the study: Simulation
method of teaching should be adopted by curriculum designers and teachers as one of the participatory method of
teaching and learning of building technology in Polytechnic and so on. |

| Effects of Co-operative and Demonstration Teaching Methods on Students’ Academic Achievement in Block Laying and Concreting in Technical Colleges in Rivers State |
The study investigated the Effect of co-operative and demonstration teaching methods on students’ academic achievement in block laying and concreting in Technical Colleges in Rivers State. Three research questions guided the study while three hypotheses were formulated for the study. Quasi-experimental design, specifically, the non-randomized control group design involving two intact classes was used. The population of the study was 90 National Technical Certificate (NTC) II Blocklaying and concreting students of two technical colleges in Rivers State. Blocklaying and concreting Performance Testinstrument was developed, validated and used for data collection. Reliability of the Blocklaying and concreting performance test was 0.75. Arithmetic mean and standard deviation were used to analyze data collected in respect to the research questions while ANCOVA was used to test the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. Findings of the study revealed that co-operative teaching methods has significant effect on student’s achievement in Blocklaying and concreting. It was recommended that States and Federal Ministries of education including professional bodies like Nigerian Association of Teachers of Technology and examination bodies like National Business and Technical Examination Board (NABTEB) should organize workshops, seminars and conferences to train and encourage teachers on the use of this innovative technique to improve students’ performance in Blocklaying and concreting |
