Yakubu Salihu

Abstract


The study was conducted to determine the perception of the usefulness of improvised instructional materials for teaching Motor Vehicle Mechanics (MVM) trade in technical colleges in Gombe State. Descriptive survey research design was employed in providing a means for generalization. Proportionate stratified random sampling was used to select 140 respondents, which represents a sample from 300 respondents. A structured questionnaire having a four point rating scale was used for the collection of data. Data was analyzed using mean and standard deviation. Findings reveals that respondents did not agree that visual display of vehicle components on cardboard papers, used of improvised materials from wood for parts identification are not appropriate for used as instructional materials required for teaching MVM trade. Based on the findings, the study recommended that, MVM trade teachers should employ the use of an improvised instructional materials for teaching, and are encouraged through provision of trade specific materials for instructional purposes among others.
