Abstract

This study investigated the availability, adequacy and functionality of workshop facilities for effective skill acquisition of Auto Mechanics students in technical colleges in Delta State. Three research questions guided the study. The study adopted a descriptive survey design. The instrument for data collection was the check list of workshop facilities titled Availability, Adequacy and Functionality of Auto Mechanics Workshop Facilities (AAFAMWF). The checklist was used to match the availability of the various workshop facilities in technical colleges in line with NBTE minimum standard to determine their level of adequacy and functionality. The data collected were analyzed using frequency count and percentages. The findings revealed that the required auto mechanic workshop facilities are available but not adequate. It was also revealed that most of the available workshop facilities are not functional. The study therefore recommends that government at various levels should double effort in provision of workshop facilities required in technical colleges. In addition, government should make provision for periodic repair and maintenance of the available facilities in auto mechanic workshops in technical colleges so as to enhance effective skill acquisition of auto mechanic students.
