Abstract

This study developed and validated instructional module for teaching principles of law to Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) students in Nigerian Colleges of Education. Four research questions and one hypothesis were used for the study. Research and Development design was adopted for the study. The population of the study comprised of 832 TVET students in five Colleges of Education in South-South geopolitical zone in Nigeria and 200 final year students were purposively sampled for the study. 82-item structured questionnaire was used to collect data for the study. The instrument was faced and content validated by three experts and Cronbach alpha statistics was used to determine the reliability coefficient of the instrument which gave a value of .84. A four- point rating scale was provided for the respondents to make their responses on the research questions. The research questions were analyzed using Mean and standard deviation while independent t-test was used to test the hypothesis at .05 level of significance. Findings of the study revealed that the contents, specific objectives, instructional methods, materials and evaluation techniques of the developed principles of law instructional module are highly appropriate for teaching TVET students in Nigerian Colleges of Education. The study recommended among others that the National Commission for Colleges of Education should adopt the developed principles of law instructional module for teaching TVET students in Nigerian Colleges of Education.
