【 摘 要 】

Much concern has been expressed in the way and manner in which vocational technical education (VTE) is being taught in Nigeria and specifically in Ekiti State technical colleges. This concern stems partly from the fact that the nation cannot effectively develop her human and material resources without adequate and well skilled manpower at all educational level. As a result of this, the study investigates Professional Competency Training Needs of Vocational Technical Teachers in Technical Colleges in Ekiti State. The survey research design was used. The study population consisted of all technical college teachers in Ekiti State; the sample comprised all the sixty (60) technical teachers which formed the population. Professional Competencies of Training Needs of Vocational Technical Teachers Questionnaire (PCTNVTTQ) was used for data collection. The test-retest method was used to determine the reliability coefficient of which 0.72 was obtained. Data collected were analyses using Mean and Standard Deviation statistical tool. The findings from this study showed that technical colleges’ teachers in Nigeria are not exposed to workshop, seminars and other means of acquiring technical base knowledge and skill and that many technical colleges’ teachers are not competent. It was therefore recommended that all technical teacher training institutions as a matter of necessity should work in concert and produces an acceptable curriculum that will foster the needed competencies to our young teachers in training and those already in the field through in- service training.
