CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.0       Background to the study

Teaching means interaction of teacher and student participating for their mutual benefit, both have objective goals and targets to achieve or accomplish (learners.com, 2016). Also teaching is the activities of providing education to others, the person who provides education is the teacher. The teacher uses different styles for giving knowledge to students, and tries his /her utmost to make students to understand. More over among his duties is to encourage students to learn.

Scheinder (2016) Teaching styles refers to teaching methods and strategies employed by teachers for the purpose of training learners each subject/ topic /lesson to be taught has its own style or methodical strategy to follow and every teacher has his own style.

Bridge and Bridge (2016) Teaching styles are attributes of a teacher that defines their styles methods and behavior in classroom, the way through which a teacher teaches his students in a particular style. Each teacher has his own teaching style that includes effectiveness and mastery of the subject matter.

There are two types of teaching styles; these are:-

-         Teacher centered style

-         Leaner centered style         (www.teach.com)

Teacher centered style:- Focuses on the idea that the teacher is the main authority figure. Student are there simply to learn through teacher adaptive style, usually lectures and direct instructions, main focus is passing test and assignment. The advantages of teacher centered styles are:-

·        Content and subject matter is logically arranged by the teacher

·        Teacher feel comfortable and confident in the classroom activities

·        No objection is raised by the teacher in connection with the availability of resources.

·        Democracy is encouraged. (Farouq 2013)

While the disadvantages are:-

·        A change in the attitude on the part of learner is difficult to develop

·        Hindrance due to rigid administration, planning and management.

·        It is difficult to maintain common standard at various institutions

·        A drastic change in the examination system and evaluation will be required. (Farouq 2013).

Student centered style:- Student plays an active roles in what teacher impacts, the approach is that, teacher will advice and guide students towards teaching path. The student informed and give teacher idea how best to approach, teach and impart knowledge to the learner (www.teach.com 2016)

The merits of the style are that:-

·        Students centered is the most effective to members in the classroom

·        Students gain confident in themselves as they take new responsibility

·        It encourage innovation and creativity

·        The student learn to be responsible for his own learning and actions (Farouq 2013)

While the Demerits are:-

·        The student might developed a wrong idea and concepts

·        Instruction would be too much independence

·        The students took the position of teacher in developing needed ideas and concepts

·        Law of readiness in the teacher is violated. (Farouq 2013)

The Department of education (Technical) was established in 1972 primarily to run a teacher preparation programme in Technical and vocational education. As its inception, the pioneer programme was the Nigeria certificate of education (Technical) (NCE TECH) which was then the highest non graduate teaching qualification in Nigeria. Over the years the department has grown structurally and in stature attracting the attention of the federal Government. As a pioneer and an important centre for training of needed technical/ vocational teacher human resources, it has trained hundreds of graduates for the federal ministry of education, under the Technical Teacher Training Programme (HTTP).

The Bachelor of Technology (B. TECH) programme following the report submitted to the Federal Government by the National University Commission (NUC), on the application by Kaduna Polytechnic to start a programme teaching to award of degree in Technical Education, the federal Ministry of Education submitted a memorandom to the Federal executive council.
