Abstract

The study was conducted to determine the competency need of motor vehicle mechanics lecturers in auto fuel and air conditioning system at College of Education level north-eastern Nigeria. In order to achieve the purpose of this study, two objectives, two research questions and two hypotheses were formulated to guide the study. The hypotheses were tested at 0.005 level of significant. Survey research design was employed for the study. The population used for the study comprised of all 75 motor vehicle mechanics lecturers and technologists in auto fuel and air conditioning system. A structured questionnaire on auto fuel and air conditioning system mechanics competency needs of lecturers and technologists was developed by the researcher to collect data from the respondents. A trial-test of the instrument was carried out in FCE Pankshin, Plateau state and the result was used to compute the internal consistency of the instrument. The reliability of the instrument was established using Cronbach Alpha and 0.81 co- efficient was obtained. Data collected were analyzed using mean scores and standard deviation and independent t-test was used in testing hypotheses. The result of the analyses showed that the content knowledge competency is highly needed among motor vehicle mechanics lecturers; the pedagogical competency is needed among motor vehicle mechanics lecturers. It was also found that there is significant difference in the mean ratings of motor vehicle mechanics lecturers and technologists on the competency need motor vehicle mechanics lecturers in the content knowledge, pedagogies. It was recommended among others that training, regular workshop, seminars be organized on periodically in different innovation of pedagogies basis. Also recommended is that relevant stake holders in education sector such as TEPAN, NCCE should initiate a researches in the finding ways for developing competency needed in pedagogies as well as content knowledge in auto fuel and air conditioning system.
