Abstract

This study determined technical skills improvement need of fishery trade teachers in fishpond construction and management for effective instructional delivery in Nigerian secondary schools. Three research questions guided the study. The population was 55; comprising lecturers of agricultural education in colleges of education and universities. There was no sampling due to small size of population. The instrument for data collection was questionnaire which was validated by three experts. The internal consistency of the instrument was determined using Cronbach alpha method which yielded a reliability coefficient of 0.81. The researchers with the help of two research assistants collected data. All 55 copies of the questionnaire administered were retrieved. Mean and Improvement Need Index (INI) were used to answer the research questions. Findings indicated that fishery teachers needed improvement on 8 planning skills, 18 fishpond construction and 17 skills in management and maintenance of fishpond for effectiveness in instructional delivery in Nigerian secondary schools. It was concluded that fishery trade teachers in Nigerian secondary schools possess low technical skills in fishpond construction and management. The study recommended among others that workshops, seminars and conferences be organised by relevant agencies for updating the knowledge and skills of fishery trade teachers in planning, construction and maintenance of fishpond.
