Abstract

This study investigated the low performance of students in technical drawing subject in technical colleges in Kwara State. Three technical colleges in the state were selected for this study and to elicit the needed information for the study, structured questionnaires were administered to one hundred and twenty (1 20) students, 40 in each of the schools selected. The findings from the study revealed that students perform below expectation in Technical drawing due to lateness to class, lack of technical drawing equipment and material, students not doing homework, lack of sufficient motivation, and inadequate experienced teachers. It was recommended that Government should regularly supply instructional materials to all technical colleges, the teachers should be given enough orientation and training, and more qualified technical drawing teachers should be employed.

Keywords: Technical drawing, performance, interest, motivation.
