Evaluation of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) Programmes in Nigeria: The Kirkpatrick Model
Abstract
This study aims to evaluate Technical and Vocational, Education and Training (TVET) programme in the Federal Polytechnic Ilaro using Kirkpatrick model. The model provided a very reliable and valuable framework of evaluating education and technical training or programmes with four levels of Behaviour, Learning, Reaction and Outcome/Impact. The study population is 14290 students registered during the 2021/2022 academic session of the Institution. Krejcie and Morgam (1974) sampling technique was adopted to have 375 sampled sizes for questionnaire administration purpose. The study purposively selected 375 sample size among the graduating classes in three out of five faculty, in which the institution was divided, to represent fifty percent of the stratification. The choice of graduating classes is to have those that is about to complete their academic programme, and have gone through TVET inclined programmes for self-evaluation on the changes in their behaviour, learning, reaction and noticeable outcome-impact of TVET programme on them in their immediate business environment. Descriptive and inferential statistics were adopted for analysis. The result of the findings through regression analysis produced Adjusted R-Square of -0.005, F Statistics of 0.363 and significant value of 0.780, which indicate that Learning, Behaviour and Reaction has not influence the Outcome or Result of TVET programme. It was concluded that learning, reaction and behaviour were adequate in the TVET programme with most respondents agreeing to the variables used to test the three levels, but has no influence on the Outcome/Impact on the improvement in the trainee’s life at the completion of the programme in the Federal Polytechnic, Ilaro, Nigeria.
