Journal Title: International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development - Year 2021, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
The study identified the practical skills expected of block laying, brick laying and concreting students in technical colleges in Rivers State, Nigeria. The population of the study consisted of 80 respondents, comprising of 70 registered builders from the ministry of works and housing and 10 block laying, brick laying and concreting teachers of the three National Board for Technical Education NBTE accredited technical colleges in Rivers State offering the course. To guide the research, a question was developed and a hypothesis was formulated. An instrument was developed and validated by experts subsequently it was used by the researchers to obtain information from the respondents. Mean and the standard deviation were used to analyse the research question, while t test was used to test the hypothesis at 0.05 level of significance. Findings revealed a 44 item practical skills list expected of students of block laying, brick laying and concreting in technical colleges in Rivers State. It was also found that there is no significant difference in the mean response of technical teachers and registered builders in block laying, brick laying and concreting. Regular field trips to construction sites, acquisition of modern machines and equipment, deepened collaboration with private construction firms for enhanced trained of students were recommended.
