The design adopted in this study was survey. The population for the study included aI/ the teachers teaching basic electricity in the six technical col/eges in Lagos state. The entire population • (30 respondents) was used for the study. A total number of twenty-four (24) questionnaire items were generated to elicit information from the respondents. Three research questions and a hypothesis were raised to guide the study. Mean and standard deviation were the statistical tools used for the analysis and the hypothesis was tested at 0.05 level of significance. The findings of the study revealed that the teachers have the knowledge of transfer of knowledge and ideas into practice, maintenance of electrical machines and equipments end identification of electrical materials and tools. Also, teachers do avoid using team teaching, discussion, modelling and storytelling in delivering their lessons.
