Abstract


This study assessed the material resources for instructional delivery of fabrication and welding in technical colleges in Delta State. Three research questions guided the study and three hypotheses were formulated and tested at 0.05 level of significance. The study used descriptive survey research design. The population for study was from six technical colleges in Delta State, which comprised 18 instructors and teachers and 72 NTC III students total 90 respondents. There was no sampling because the population was manageable in size. The questionnaire was a check list used to collect data on Adequacy, Functionality and Usability of Material Resources for Instructional Delivery in Technical Colleges (AFUMRIDTC). The instrument was validated by three experts. The reliability of instrument was determined using inter-rater reliability (Kendal Co-efficient of Concordance (W) which yielded a reliability co-efficient of 0.82 for adequacy, 0.78 for functionality and 0.73 for usability respectively. The data were analyzed using percentage for adequacy, mean and standard deviation for functionality and usability of material resources. t-test was used to test the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. Findings of the study revealed that majority of the material resources for instructional delivery of fabrication and welding were available but inadequate, all are functional and usable expect one in the technical colleges. Based on the findings of the study, it was recommended among others, that fabrication and welding workshop in technical colleges should be well equipped with tools and equipment by the government from time to time as required for teaching and learning of fabrication and welding.
