Abstract

The study aims to investigate the organization and administration of the Motor Vehicle Mechanics Work (MVMW) Workshop in Government Science and Technical Colleges in Gombe State, Nigeria, focusing on improving student skill acquisition. The study, which had two research questions and hypotheses, adopted a descriptive survey research design, and the study population comprised 42 administrators (principals, vice principals, senior masters and mistresses, and MVMW Head of Departments) and 21 MVMW teachers, making a total of 63 respondents. Whole population sampling was adopted for the study. A researcher-developed questionnaire collects data, with responses rated on a Likert scale. Descriptive statistics, such as mean and standard deviation, were employed to answer research questions, and a t-test was used to test hypotheses. The findings reveal that the organizational and administrative structures significantly impact skill acquisition in the MVMW Workshop. Administrators and teachers agree on the positive effects of these structures. Recommendations are proposed, emphasizing the need for well-designed organizational layouts, effective administrative systems, and collaborative efforts between administrators and teachers to optimize workshop functionality and enhance student skill development.

Abstract

This study addresses the persistent underrepresentation of female students in non-traditional vocational trades, specifically Motor Vehicle Mechanic Work, within Gombe State Technical Colleges. The total population for this study was 527 including administrators, teachers and parents of Motor Vehicle Mechanic Work trade students in Government Science and Technical Colleges in Gombe State. The sample size of the study was 116 determined using stratified random sampling. The study employed a descriptive survey research design, focusing on Gombe State in Nigeria, where seven Government Science and Technical Colleges were selected for the research. Three research questions and hypotheses guided the study. Data was collected through a researcher-developed structured questionnaire, and statistical methods including means, standard deviations, and ANOVA were used to analyze the data. Findings of the study indicated that parental influence, including preferences for preferred courses and concerns about safety, significantly influenced female students' enrollment in Motor Vehicle Mechanic Work. Peer group dynamics, such as imitation, aspirations, and subject choice, also played a role in shaping female students' decisions. Cultural factors, including perceptions of education, domestic roles, early marriage, and societal support, further influenced their choices. Interestingly, the study revealed a convergence of perspectives among Motor Vehicle Mechanic Works Trade teachers, school administrators, and parents regarding the identified influences. Recommendations stemming from these findings include targeted awareness campaigns for parents, peer mentorship programs, and collaborations with local leaders and institutions to challenge and reshape cultural norms that discourage female participation in non-traditional trades.
