Instructional Challenges: The Experiences of the Clothing and Textiles Teacher on Some Selected Topics

Résumé

The study explored the challenges Senior High School Clothing and Textiles (C&T) teachers face in teaching the concept “Fibres and Fabrics”. The purposive and convenience sampling techniques were used to sample eleven (11) C&T teachers. A self-developed interview guide was used to gather data via an online electronic survey and analyzed qualitatively. Findings from the study indicated that the C&T teachers perceived the content of “Fibres and Fabrics” as suitable for the levels they teach. However, the participants had challenges stemming from limited knowledge, institutional and curriculum gap. Improvisation and adaptive teaching techniques were some measures participants adopted to manage the challenges they encounter. The study concludes that if the challenges identified in this study are addressed, the teaching and learning of “Fibres and Fabrics” would improve. Hence, the study recommends that C/T teachers adopt comprehensive, innovative and technology-based teaching approach to facilitate lesson delivery and understanding.
