STRATEGIES
FOR ENHANCING STUDENTS INTEREST IN TECHNICAL DRAWING IN SENIOR SECONDARY
SCHOOLS
ABSTRACT
This study
was designed to determine how student interest can be enhanced in Technical
drawing. To achieve this objective, four research questions were answered. The data so collected were analyzed using
weighted mean. The major findings were
that: Method of teaching technical drawing carry a greater part in enhancing
students interest in the subject. The
parents are not being informed of the importance of Technical drawing. Teachers possessing the required qualities
expected of a teacher like friendliness, sympathetic, humorous, intellectual
etc. contribute immensely to enhancing students interest and that effective use
of instructional materials helps the students to develop more interest in the
subject.
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
Background
of the Study
The school
system in Nigeria have been criticized in recent years for their failure to
achieve many of the goals set for them, and for the harmful nature of their
impact upon the society, that is producing only job seekers.
Their
curricular are said to be oriented towards cognitive studies alone and does not
give the students the chance to use their hands.
Therefore
emphasis was placed on technical / Vocational Education in the Secondary School
with the believe that Technical subjects are distinct form of training which is
practically oriented and has particular solution to the problem of the country.
Technical
education has been described by experts as the springboard that is meant to
elevate the state of Nigeria in the committee of nations Amini (1989).
It is
observed that up till date, Nigeria had been craving for manpower especially in
the areas of Engineering, Science and Technology. The only vehicle for the achievement of the
country’s goal for Technological advancement is vocational education.
For example
the objective for Nigeria as contained in the final report of vision 2010 is “a
united industrious caring and God fearing democratic society committed as
making basic needs of life affordable for everyone and creating Africa’s
leading economy” (The observer July 3 1998).
What is desire in these objective are states of being which are
different and better than the present.
The issue
involved in these objectives therefore are: economic, political, social and
technological development of the country concerned. For a country to develop technologically
therefore, the rudimentary and basic knowledge of engineering which is
Technical drawing must be imparted to students and try all means to enhance the
students interest in the subject.
The Ashby commission
report observed that the Secondary School system was devoid of vocational and
technical education courses and therefore suggested that it should be
introduced.
Objectives
of vocational education were summarized as:
Meeting the
manpower needs of the society.
Increasing
the options available to each students.
Serving as a
motivating force to enhance all types of learning.
It was also
observed that vocational and Technical education had the merit that the student
who was unable to proceed in academic education had the option to use his skill
to earn a living.
The Nigeria
Government in an effort to meet the demand of the changing time decided to
restructure the system of education in the country.
In 1977, the
government published a new National Policy on Education which was later revised
in 1981. The policy provided that
Nigeria would have a new secondary education programme designed to be both
functional and practical; a programme that would be structurally and
qualitatively different from the existing system. Hence, the introduction of 6-3-3-4
system. The introduction of the new
system of education sought to remove the destructive effects of the isolation
of academic learning from occupational development and real world experience.
Concern
ourselves as a society with the development of people in the area of practical
as well as intellectual and honour good work of any kind.
Redress the
aimlessness of past post primary students and correspondingly to redress the
enormous waste of human energy reflected in the high drop out and unemployed
population among our youth.
With all the
goodies promised by the government for Technical and Vocational education, it
has been established from available researchers that the teaching of Technical
subjects needs improvement. Students
lukewarm attitude and lack of interest towards technical subjects especially
technical drawing should be minimized or if possible totally removed.
Oyinloye
(1993) said, many elements are involved in the teaching and learning process,
the teacher, students and methodology.
The most important element is the attitude, interest and readiness of
the students. Bonanni (1974) also
concluded that methods, setting visuals, lesson note are all important in
teaching and learning process. The
quality and the comportment of the teachers is also very important if we are to
enhance the interest of students in technical subject especially technical
drawing.
Statement of
the Problem
Today’s
world of technology has been characterized by the increasing impact of
vocational subjects on the life of people.
It is clear that the teaching of technical drawing appear to be inadequate
in measure with the changing demands of the society.
Lack of
qualified teacher to teach technical drawing and high cost of instructional
material had resulted into low enrolment of students in Technical drawing which
is a consequence of low interest and attitude of students towards the subject.
How will strategies of demonstration, discovery/enquiry and project method
affect students interest in Technical drawing?
Purpose of
the Study
Poor
achievement and lack of interest of students in Technical drawing is a problem
of the students, teachers and the country as a nation. This study is therefore designed to x-ray.
1. How strategies of teaching Technical
drawing in Senior Secondary School can enhance students interest.
2. How parents can be motivated to
encourage their children to develop interest in technical drawing.
3. Attributes a vocational teacher must
possess to enhance students interest in Technical drawing.
4. Effective use of instructional
materials as a factor for enhancing students interests.
Significance
Of The Study
The
aspiration of Nigeria in recent years has been technological advancement and
self-reliant economy. In each of the
above reasons, the importance of vocational subjects cannot be overlooked,
because they are the bedrock or foundation upon which the above aspiration can
be built and reliably achieved.
This survey
is undertaken because of the feelings that students interest and attitude
towards Technical drawing is very low.
It is expected that the result of this study would.
1. Enhance students interest towards
technical drawing.
2. Help teachers teaching technical
drawing to develop the right attitude towards their students and subject.
3. Also help parent to encourage their
children to offer technical subjects.
