Abstract


The study assessed the use of pedagogical apparatus in teaching Fabrication and Welding Trade programme in technical colleges in Bauchi State, Nigeria. A descriptive survey design was employed to carry out the study. Three research questions were formulated to guide the study. A 36-item questionnaire was the instrument utilized to elicit the required data from the respondents for the study. The developed instrument by the researchers was validated by three experts. The data was collected from 27 Fabrication and Welding trade teachers and 130 students in the Fabrication and Welding Trade programme in all the technical colleges in the area of the study. Cronbach alpha was used to determine the internal consistency of the instrument and it yielded a coefficient of 0.81. Mean was employed to answer the research questions. Based on the findings conclusion were drawn and recommendations made amongst which are that the government and other agencies responsible for running the affairs of the technical colleges should provide adequate Fabrication and Welding Trade instructional materials for effective teaching and learning. There should be regular conferences, seminars, workshops and interactive sessions in order to create awareness on the use and importance of instructional materials in the teaching and learning process.
