ABSTRACT
This study was carried out to determine the factors affecting the performance of electrical/electronic students in technical/vocational colleges in Kaduna metropolis, the study was carried out in Government Technical College Kajuru, Malali, and Business Apprenticeship Trade Center (BATC) Soba. Six research questions were used to guide the study. Survey research design was used for this study. A proportional stratified sampling technique was adopted for this study. The findings revealed that factors such as inadequate supply of training materials for students’ practical lessons, non-utilization of different methodologies and techniques, lack of exposure to practical skills, inappropriate use of workshop and laboratories were agreed as some of student’s related factors affecting their performance in technical/vocational colleges. Teacher’s related factors such as lack of Staff development programs, non-payment of other fringe benefits, lack of inadequate supervision and guidance, teacher’s attitude to students, inadequate instructional material, and inadequate time -allotted to electrical/electronic lessons. conclusion were drawn and recommendations made which include more qualified teachers should be employed, modern tools and equipment should be provided in workshops and laboratories and more time to be allotted for practical
