Abstract

Competency of TVET teacher is one of the major factors that influence the quality of TVET graduates and TVET system. This paper attempted to investigate the TVET teachers' perceptions on the competency needs in Nigerian higher learning institutions based on the competency model of Malaysian human resource development practitioners (MHRDP) which focused on thinking competency, organisational competency, and application competency. This study employed a survey design in which a set of questionnaire was used for data collection. A total of 205 TVET teachers from universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education were involved in this research. Descriptive statistics which involved mean and standard deviation was utilised to analyse the data. The findings revealed that the Nigerian TVET teachers perceived that all elements related to thinking competency, organisational competency, and application competency are important for TVET teachers for higher learning institutions in Nigeria. Therefore, this research suggests that the Nigerian policy makers and the TVET higher learning institutions should provide training to the TVET teachers in order to equip those teachers with the competency elements that are important and relevant to TVET.
