Building Skilled Man Through Metalwork Technology Education Programme in Tertiary Institutions for Societal Industrualization in Rivers State
Abstract
This study looked into building skilled man through metalwork technology education programmes in tertiary institutions for societal Industrialization in Rivers State. Three objectives and research questions were raised, while three hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance. A descriptive survey design guided the study. The population of the study was 48 lecturers and 28 technologists in metalwork/mechanical technology education from the three tertiary institutions in Rivers State that offers the programmes, the entire population was sampled. The researchers collected data for the study using questionnaires. The instrument was validated by two lecturers in the department of mechanical technology education, Niger Delta University who were not part of the respondents. The reliability coefficient achieved using Cronbach Alpha Reliability Coefficient was .84. Mean was used to answer the research questions while standard deviation was used to determine the homogeneity in the responses, z-test was used to test the hypothesis at 0.5 level. The study found among others that Most metalwork technology education workshops need modern equipment and machine for the training of her students to become skilled men. It also found that milling operation, drilling, turning, knurling etc are machining skills required from students to become skilled men for the industrialization of the society in Rivers State, it was recommended that Metalwork technology education workshops should be equipped with modern machine, and lecturers and technologists should be trained to enable them obtain the skills required to produce skilled men through metalwork programmes in a contemporary society in Rivers State.
