Abstract

The study was a pre-test, post-test, non-equivalent control group quasi-experimental design. The study was to determine the effect of Hubert and Stuart model of training in suspension and steering system of Motor Vehicle Mechanic Work students’interest in Technical Colleges. Specifically, the study seeks to find out the effect of using; Hubert and Stuart model of training compared to Demonstration method on student’s achievement on suspension system, steering system and student’s interest on Motor Vehicle Mechanic Work Trade. The population for this study comprises of 233 respondents NTC II students of MVMW. The sample size for this study was 43 NTC students selected from the study. Instruments used for data collection were: Auto-mechanics Achievement Test (AAT) with 40 multiple questions, marking scheme answer options (A-D) and Auto-Mechanics Interest Inventory (AMII) with 30 items. Score guide sheet based on four-point rating scale used by teachers or ratter. The Cronbach Alpha Reliability Coefficient of the test instrument was used to determine the reliability coefficient of 0.81, is obtained which were indicates that the instrument was reliable for the study. The data collected was analysed in line with the research questions and hypotheses. The interest inventory was analysed using mean and standard deviation. A mean of 3.50 and above will be considered interested, below that were considered not interested. The mean gain was used to answer research questions with the used of Statistical Package for Social Sciences SPSS (Vision, 20). The effect was found to be significant, the study revealed that Hubert and Stuart model is effective in enhancing students’ skill acquisition in steering system, the effect was found to be significant, it was found out that Hubert and Stuart model is effective in enhancing students’ skill acquisition in suspension system, the effect was found to be significant. Therefore, the following recommendation are made: Motor vehicle mechanic work teachers should adopt Hubert and Stuart model to improve teaching and learning of auto-mechanic courses, in preparing lesson plans/note, Motor vehicle mechanic work teachers should include Hubert and Stuart model when teaching students in the class.
