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. To achieve the purpose of this study, three objectives, research questions and hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significant. Survey research design was employed for the study. It comprises all 75 motor vehicle mechanics lecturers and technologists in auto fuel and air conditioning systems made the population of the study. A structured of auto fuel and air conditioning system mechanics lecturers/technologist’s competency need questionnaire (AAMLTCNQ). Ware used for data collection. A pilot test of the instrument was carried out in FCE Pankshin, Plateau state. The reliability of the instrument was established by 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 analysis showed that the practical skills and attitude competency is highly needed among motor vehicle mechanics, the communication skills competency is needed among motor vehicle mechanics lecturers, and the evaluation techniques competency is low 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 practical skills and attitude, classroom/workshop communication skills and relevant evaluation tools and techniques. The recommended among others that training regular workshop, seminars be organized on periodically in different innovation of relevant evaluation tools and techniques. And also recommended is that relevant stake holders in education sector such as TEPAN and NCCE should initiate research in finding ways for developing competency needed in in test and measurement as well as communication skills in auto fuel and air conditioning system.
