Effects of Guided Inquiry Instructional Strategy (GIIS) on Academic Achievement of Metalwork Students in Lagos State Technical Colleges of Nigeria
(University of Eswatini (UNESWA Journal of Education), 2020-01) Fakorede S. O. A.; Azeez A. T.
The purpose of this study was to determine the Effect of Guided Inquiry Instructional Strategy on Metalwork Technology Students‟ Achievement in Lagos State Technical Colleges. Two types of Instructional Strategies namely: Guided Inquiry Instructional Strategy (GIIS) and Conventional Teaching Method (CTM), two types of gender (male and female) as well as two types of location (urban and rural) were also investigated. Quasi-experimental design which involved groups of students in their intact class assigned to two groups. The entire population of 122 second year students (95 males and 27 females) obtained from four state owned Technical Colleges were used for the study because of the relatively small size and its accessibility. Three research questions and three hypotheses tested at 0.05 level of significance guided the study. The instrument used for data collection was Metalwork Technology Skill Achievement Test (MTSAT), was subjected to face validation by three experts. The reliability index was found to be 0.69 and 0.71 using test re-test method. Data obtained from the administration of the instrument were analyzed using mean and standard deviation to answer the research questions and Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) statistic was used at 0.05 level of significance to test the hypotheses. Findings from the study indicated that Guided Inquiry Instructional Strategies undeniably offer more promises than the traditional Conventional method in bringing about meaningful learning and understanding of Metalwork Technology, also the main effects of male students taught Metalwork Technology with Guided Inquiry Instructional Strategies is higher than the main effects of female students, and finally there was significant difference between the main effects of location on students‟ achievement in Metalwork Technology. The result shows that urban students had a higher mean score than rural students.

Improving Vocational and Technical Education in Nigeria for National Development
(Trafford Publishing, 2013) Fakorede S. O. A.
This chapter discusses Technical Vocational Education (TVE) and its implementation for skill acquisition and national development. Nigeria requires scientific and technological education to achieve economic, social, political, and spiritual development. Despite 52 years of independence, Nigeria remains dependent on imported goods. The chapter argues for Nigerian-made technology and highlights Korea's technological advancement compared to Nigeria. TVE is identified as essential for global competitiveness. Challenges include low societal status, inadequate infrastructure, obsolete equipment, lack of industry linkage, and unqualified teachers. Recommendations include government investment in workshops, industry collaboration, and teacher training.

Impact of Collaborative Learning on the Achievement of Students in Basic Technology in Lagos State, Nigeria
(Kampala International University (Journal of Education), 2019-10) Fakorede S. O. A.; Lemo O. O.; Fadairo O. O.
In recent years, collaborative learning method has attracted the attention of many educators, representing an alternative to the traditional learning methods. There is need to examine the impact of collaborative learning on students' academic achievement in Basic technology. This study was structured to critically examine the impact of collaborative learning on the academic achievement of students in Basic technology. This research work consists of four research questions and two hypotheses while quasi-experimental research design was adopted and Basic technology achievement test was administered to the students. 150 students were selected from five schools in the educational district II in Lagos State. The data were analyzed with the aid of percentages and t-test statistical tool. The findings of the studies showed that there is significant difference in the academic achievement of students who are exposed to collaborative learning on the arithmetic skills of students in Basic technology. In addition, there is no significant relationship in the effectiveness of collaborative learning on Students achievement in Basic Technology based on gender. It is recommended that secondary school teachers should adopt collaborative learning method in their teaching-learning strategies to improve the academic achievement of the students.

Information and Communication Technology as a Means of Achieving the Objectives of Automobile Technology in Colleges of Education in Lagos State
(Kampala International University, 2019-09) Fakorede S. O. A.; Fadairo O. O.
The study analysed the application of information and communication technology (ICT) for achieving the objectives of Automobile Technology in Colleges of Education in Lagos State. Three research questions guided the study. Three null hypotheses formulated were tested at 0.05 level of significance. A survey research design was employed for the study. The population for the study comprised 58 lecturers from Automobile Technology Departments. There was no sampling because of the manageable size of the population. Structured questionnaire was developed and used to collect data. Cronbach alpha reliability method was adopted to determine the internal consistency of the questionnaire; a Cronbach alpha coefficient of 0.80 was obtained for the questionnaire. Mean was used to answer research questions while t-test was used to test null hypothesis. It was found that information and communication technology was not applied during instructional planning, instructional delivery and evaluation of Automobile Technology instruction. It was recommended that information and communication technology be applied for teaching Automobile Technology courses in Nigerian Colleges of Education. Workshops and seminars on application of ICT facilities for teaching should be organized for lecturers of Automobile Technology in colleges of education.

Effects of Scaffolding Instructional Techniques on the Academic Achievement of Automechanics Technology Students in Lagos State Technical Colleges
(Islamic University in Uganda, 2019-09) Fakorede S. O. A.; Lemo O. O.
The study investigated the effects of scaffolding instructional techniques on the academic achievement of students in Automobile Technology. A quasi-experimental pretest, posttest design with an experimental and non-equivalent control group was adopted. The population of the study consisted of 187 technical college school year two students in four Technical College in Lagos State. Due to the relatively small and manageable size of the population, no sampling was made as the entire population was used. Two instruments were used for data collection, Automobile Technology Achievement Test (ATAT) and conventional teacher made test. The data was analyzed using mean and standard deviation to answer research questions while analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used to test the hypothesis at 0.05 level of significance. The study among other things found out that, there is a significant difference in performance of students taught with scaffolding technique than those taught with conventional lecture method.
