The study was guided by 4 research questions. The population consisted of all the 30 MVMW trade teachers in Gombe State. The study adopted developmental research which was aimed to improve the current MVMW trade curriculum. A structured questionnaire was developed by the researcher with four point rating scale. The questionnaire was validated by four (4) experts from different field of Automobile Technology and trial tested on MVMW trade teachers. Mean and standard deviation was used to answer the responses while factor analysis and Cronbach Alpha was used to determine the validity and reliability of the instrument. The findings revealed that MVT content has four (4) units: these include: Introduction to MVT, Safety Rules and Regulation on MVT, Instrument for MVT Engine Testing and Measurement, It was recommended that: National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) should integrate these elements into the MVMW trade curriculum. Curriculum planners should adopt these clusters in designing the MVMW trade curriculum among other.","PeriodicalId":470663,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Applied and Structural Mechanics","volume":" 863","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141127545","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
