Abstract

Technical, Vocational, Education and Training spans our educational systems, from toys for infants to sending children to school to learn Science, Engineering, and Technology. An inclusive society needs real-world education. Equal access for balanced empowerment may be achieved via two techniques. TVET and SDGs work if done well. TVET-SDGs Linkage is a major problem that must be addressed if Nigeria is to fulfil its UN duties, especially in building an inclusive society as outlined in Objectives 4, 5, 8, 10 and 16 of the 17-Point Agenda of the Sustainable Development Goals with 169 goals. Inclusive education promotes a just and equitable society as envisioned by the UN through mobilising stakeholders. The article discusses leveraging TVET to meet Nigeria's SDGs via inclusive education. Secondary schools, vocational centres, technical colleges, polytechnics, and universities must have high-quality teaching and training facilities and highly-trained teaching staff.

Abstract

The advancement of Augmented Reality (AR) technology has opened up new opportunities in the development of innovative learning tools. In this scientific paper, we conducted a testing of the "AR-Ngeuna 4.0" application specifically designed for learning West Javanese traditional cuisine. The research design used in this study was cross-sectional with the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) approach. The research results indicate that the majority of respondents rated the perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness of the "AR-Ngeuna 4.0" application as highly appropriate for learning traditional cuisine. Users' attitudes toward using the application and their behavioral intention to continue using it also received positive responses. The assessment of user awareness in utilizing the application (Actual System Usage) was also favorable. Therefore, the "AR-Ngeuna 4.0" application is deemed suitable for use as a learning tool for traditional cuisine by students in Vocational High Schools, especially in the Culinary Arts Program.

Abstract

An accessible explanation of academic writing differences between a position paper and an empirical paper for graduate students’ writing approach. The purpose is for graduate scholars who want to use these articles for basic knowledge and fundamental ideas. It can also be used as a textbook or reference. The paper revealed information regarding academic writing differences between position papers, empirical papers and authenticate benefits.  Both position papers and empirical papers involve research and analysis but the main difference is that position papers present a specific stance or argument while empirical papers present objective data and research findings. It was concluded that a position paper and an empirical paper focus on argumentation persuasion versus original research create a new body of knowledge scientifically.

Abstract

Soft skills are increasingly seen as being crucial for the modern workforce due to the rapid and pervasive digitalisation that has transformed the nature of employment. To work with new technologies and stay up with the rapid changes in technology, graduates require employability skills. Despite the growing demand there remains a shortage of employability skills, organisations frequently struggle to identify qualified candidates for digital jobs because workforces frequently lack the skills necessary to manage digital change. Soft skills became more important as the pace of world of work moved online. Meanwhile, the role of TVET in job creation cannot be over emphasised in the changing world. Thus, the study examined how soft skills can enhance TVET graduates’ employability. Study participants included 351 students from Botswana TVET schools. To better understand how soft skills relate to TVET graduates' employability, we used STATA software to establish the correlation between the two variables. The result indicated that soft skills promote TVET graduates' employability. Hence, all TVET administrators should keep up-to-date with this present model so that they can design policies that promote employability for TVET graduates.

Abstract

Technology-enriched learning was integrated into the teaching of abstract concepts in electrical/electronic technology with investigation of its effects on students’ academic performance and learning retention. A quasi-experimental design was adopted for the study. All 178 technical education students specializing in electrical/electronic technology from the 4 universities offering the programme in the south-west, Nigeria were involved in the study. The achievement test instrument used for data collection has a reliability coefficient of .92 obtained through test retest technique. Six research hypotheses were tested in the study. Data collected were analysed using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) at 0.05 level of significance. The findings of the study established that technology enriched learning significantly improves students’ academic performance (F(1, 169) = 12.707; p = .000) and retention (F(1, 169) = 94.097; p = .000) compared to traditional lecture method. It was recommended that the idea of technology-enriched learning should be adopted by university teachers to foster effective teaching of abstract concepts in science and engineering while traditional lecture method should be discouraged in the teaching of abstract concepts.

Abstract

This study observed the effects of school plant variables on the performance of technical education students. The correlational survey research design was adopted for the study. The study sampled is Ambrose Alli University ( AAU), Ekpoma,. 50 technical education students in the department of vocational and technical education were used,  no sampling method was used as all the technical education students were used for the study. A researcher- designed  questionnaire titled ‘School Plant Variables  Questionnaire” (SPVQ) was used to collect data on relative organization and utilization of school plant facilities in the schools. The construct and content validity of the instrument was done by experts in research. The questions items were reviewed by the specialists and corrections were affected as suggested by them. After a test- retest treatment within two weeks interval, the scale recorded a cronbach alpha of 0.75. The study found out that  school plant facilities (Classrooms,  workshops, relaxation centres) were located considerable distance from where students resides thus requiring longer time for  students to move into or from them for teaching and learning. Also, a significant relationship was established between school plant organization and utilization on academic performance with F- value (0.36) critical F- value (0.19) at 05 level of significance. School plant organization and utilization on student attendance/ punctuality at lessons were found to be significantly related with F-value (0.7921) critical F- value (0.16) at .05 level of significance. The study concluded that school plant organization and utilization have a role to play on the effectiveness of instruction and the ultimate performance of students in their examinations. It thus recommended the construction of ‘Integrated Classrooms’ that can house almost all teaching and learning activities, with relaxation centres under one big roof and hostel accommodation to accommodates all students closer to the big roof building.
