| Popis: | This paper examines why Technical Education (TE) teachers are unwilling to use the recently provided online platform. TE teachers studied include Technical Instructors and Lecturers. This research examined the personal, attitudinal, institutional and societal challenges behind TE teachers’ reluctance to the use of the online platform. This study was carried out in Nigeria. A structured questionnaire-based on the objectives of the study was administered to all TE teachers who are supposed to be using online platforms for delivering their courses. The findings include among others: the inhibition rate of societal challenges is greater for Technical Instructors and women than for Lecturers and men; personality and attitudinal challenges have more inhibiting effect for Technical Instructors as well as senior Academics. |
