Abstract

The study developed and validated instructional module for teaching bamboo composite door production to Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) trainees in Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. Six research questions and One hypothesis guided the study. Research and Development design was adopted for the study. The population of the study was 175 respondents, comprising of 36 bamboo composite experts, 67 NDDC furniture making and woodwork skills trainees in Ikot Ekpene and 72 in Uyo skills acquisition centres. Simple random sampling technique was used to select 26 bamboo composite experts and 82 NDDC furniture making and woodwork skills trainees comprising of 67 in Ikot Ekpene and 72 Uyo skills acquisition centres. A 180-item questionnaire was used for data collection. Cronbach alpha statistics was used to determine the reliability coefficient of the instrument which yielded overall reliability index of .78 indicating that the instrument was reliable. Mean and standard deviation was used to answer the research questions while independent t-test was used to test the hypothesis at .05 level of significance. Findings of the study identified 91 specific tasks, 13 specific objectives, 37 instructional materials, 29 instructional methods and 10 evaluation techniques for teaching bamboo composite door production. It was recommended among others that NDDC should adopt the training module and engage experienced professionals from the bamboo industry as instructors to enhance the quality of training and provide real- world perspectives to the trainees.
