Abstract

This paper developed and validated industrial conflict management and resolution instructional module for teaching Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) students in Nigerian universities. 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 483 Business Education students and 349 Technical Education students making a total of 832 students in five Universities in South-South geopolitical zone in Nigeria and 200 final year students were purposively sampled for the study. A 70-item structured questionnaire was used to collect data for the study. The instrument was faced validated by five experts. Cronbach alpha was used to determine the reliability coefficient of the instrument which gave a value of .89. A five-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 industrial conflict management and resolution instructional module are highly appropriate for teaching TVET students in Nigerian universities. The study recommended among others that the National Universities Commission should adopt the developed industrial conflict management and resolution instructional module for teaching and learning process of TVET in Nigerian Universities
