Abstract
The study investigated
the professional improvement needs of agricultural education lecturers for
quality instructional delivery in Universities. Three research questions were answered
by the study while three null hypotheses were formulated and tested at 0.05
level of significance. Descriptive survey research design was adopted. The study
was carried out in three Universities in Obio/Akpor local Government Area of
Rivers State. The population of the study was 31 lecturers, consisting of 8
lecturers from Ignatius Ajuru University, 12 lecturers from Rivers State
University and 11 lecturers from University of Port Harcourt Rivers State.
There was no sampling as a result of the manageable size of the population. A 28-item
questionnaire was used to collect data for the study, the questionnaire was
validated by three experts, the internal consistency of the questionnaire was
determined using Cronbach Alpha (α) method and a coefficient of 0.82 was
obtained. Data collected were analyzed using mean and standard deviation and t-test
analysis was used to test the null hypotheses of no significant difference. Result
of the study revealed that 10 improvement need on clarity and organization of
content, 8 improvement needs in creating an interactive and effective learning
environment and 10 improvement needs in delivery styles. It was therefore
recommended that the lecturers should seek self- development through capacity
building workshop, seminars and in- service training to update their knowledge
in the use of instructional materials for quality instructional delivery,
participate in collaborative learning, and the Government should integrate
technology into agricultural education instruction/curriculum.
