Abstract

This study examines the effects of TVET on producing a productive workforce who are graduates under the moderation role of the private sector. The study was conducted following cases of many graduates completing middle technical and vocational colleges to find they are not employable. To uncover this gap, the study used quantitative research approaches. While the research design was explanatory, the sampling technique was simple random sampling. From a population of 3 NACTVET colleges comprising 3350 units of inquiry, including students, graduates, and tutors from such selected NACTVET colleges, 357 respondents were deduced. Data collection from the sample obtained used a survey questionnaire. Before actual data analysis, a pilot survey, data cleaning, and factor analysis were conducted. Structural equation modeling was used in the actual data analysis. It gives that result Cognitive domain attributes were found to have a positive and insignificant effect on producing a productive workforce of graduates. Also, TVET psychomotor domain attributes were revealed to have positive but insignificant effects on producing productive workforce graduates, and the same results were with behavioral, affective domain skills on producing productive workforce graduates. Moreover, the analysis found positive and significant effects of three factors on producing productive workforce graduates under the moderation role of the private sector. This either suggests to education stakeholders, policymakers, and curriculum developers to adopt the model this study has introduced by bringing the private sector into TVET programs.

Abstract

This study analyzed the effects of technical and vocational education and training in acquiring graduates with the necessary skills that are labor market on demand. This analysis came following many graduates completing TVET college studies but finding they are not conforming to the skills a labor market is in demand with. To address this gap, the study used quantitative research approaches. While the research design was explanatory, the sampling technique was simple random sampling from a population of 3000 unit of analysis: students, graduates, tutors, and management staff from 3 selected NACTVET colleges, and 254 samples of respondents was obtained. Moreover, data collection from the sample extracted used a questionnaire. Before actual data analysis, a pilot survey, data cleaning, and factor analysis were conducted. The actual data analysis employed multiple linear regression from which the results were:-TVET-theoretical, practical, and behavioral attitudinal education found to be positively and significantly related to the production of resourceful graduates if the labor market information is intruded in the model system. These analytical results suggest that education stakeholders, policymakers, and curriculum developers adopt the model this study introduced by calling for the moderation role of labor market information.

Abstract

The study investigated the teaching methodology and the behavior of ordinary secondary school students in learning mathematics. This study sought to find behind the scenes why most students in ordinary secondary schools dislike mathematics, which leads to massive failures. To uncover this gap, the study applied a correlation research design. Systematic sampling technique of the interval 50th was used in which 100 respondents were selected; 20 respondents each from 5 selected secondary schools in Mbeya. Data were collected through a questionnaire. Data were analyzed descriptively and speculatively. The survey found that teaching materials/media were effectively implemented. Also, the findings indicate the non-adoption of informal behavior and non-reflection of mathematics teachings to the learner’s natural home environment. Thus, from these discrepancies, the study recommends that mathematics teachers be used to teaching simulation and visual aids/media. It is recommended that mathematics teachers use informal behavior such as courage words, remedial classes, and others for students adapted to mathematics-solving behavior. Lastly, it is suggested that mathematics teachings should be reflexive to students’ real-life environment.
