This study investigated the level of physical facilities adequacy and instructional resources utilization for teaching and learning effectiveness in Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) programmes. A quantitative research design was used, with a sample of 700 participants (85 lecturers and 615 students) which was randomly selected across three Federal Universities in South-South, Nigeria. Structured questionnaires were used to collect data from TVET lecturers and students. Mean, standard deviation and t-test were used for data analyses. Physical facilities were found to be inadequate for teaching and learning processes in TVET programmes. Also, instructional resources were found to be underutilized during teaching and learning in TVET programmes. One of the recommendations made for the study is that TVET managers should endeavour to collaborate with major stakeholders for the provision of funds that would assist in ensuring adequate provision of physical facilities for effective teaching and learning processes in TVET programmes. As such, this would further help to foster the conducive environment for teaching and learning of TVET courses, which in turn, would help in equipping students with the skills to pursue entrepreneurial careers and lifelong learning upon graduation.
The advancement of science and technology has improved system of learning and instruction; this has moved learning instruction to e-learning. Vocational and Technical Education as instrument for national development must join suit in this dynamic and evolving of instructional delivery, in order to achieve its purpose in the life of the people and the nation. The study examined the concept of VTE, emergence of e-learning, e-learning facilities, benefits of e-learning in Vocational and Technical education, challenges of e-learning application in VTE, strategies for improving e-learning application in VTE. In conclusion it was discovered that in spite of the relevance of e-learning in teaching and learning of VTE, teachers are not utilizing it, this is mainly due to the unavailability of facilities for e-learning and the inadequacy of the facilities where available, this is in addition to the fact that stakeholders are not providing enabling environment for it to thrive. It was recommended that government and stakeholders in education should provide facilities in e-learning, put policies in place to encourage the enforcement of e-learning in institutions, make internet connectivity priority in Universities, make adequate budgeting allocation for procurement and maintenance of facilities for e-learning among others.
