Abstract


This study investigated strategies for improving the available e- learning devices for teaching technical drawing in technical colleges North-Central, Nigeria. Three research questions and one null hypothesis tested at 0.05 level of significance were used for the study. The design of the study was a descriptive survey research design. The population of this study comprised all the 89 technical drawing teachers in 29 technical colleges North-Central, Nigeria. A 26-item questionnaire structured and validated was used to generate data for the study. Data obtained were analyzed using percentage, mean and standard deviation to answer the research questions while t-test statistic was used to test the hypothesis. The findings revealed that most schools have computer laboratories, laptops, some computers and standby generators but lack some e-learning devices such as slides, projectors, among others. The study also revealed that technical drawing teachers encounter a lot of problems in the use of available e-learning devices such as poor power supply and illiteracy. However, some strategies were suggested by the researcher for improvement of e-learning devices by technology teachers such as provision of adequate ICT infrastructure. Some recommendations were made such as organizing seminars and workshops for technical drawing teachers and improving power supply.
