Abstract
This study was to assess teachers characteristics for the implementation of mechanical technology curriculum in North-west Nigeria. To guide he study, three specific objectives, research questions and hypotheses were formulated. A comprehensive review of related literature was carried out to cover the three areas of teachers’ characteristics. A survey research design was used for data gathering on a population of 2,228 respondents. The proportionate stratified random sampling technique was used to constitute a sample of 267 students. A structured survey instrument was developed according to the research questions that guided the study. The instrument was subjected to both validation and reliability test which yielded a reliability index of 0.86. The data was collected by the use of trained research assistants. The data collected were analyzed using the mean statistic. The hypotheses were analyzed using t-test at 95% confidence level. The result of the analysis show that the teachers exhibits good teacher characteristics during the delivery of instruction but need some degree of training. It was recommended that the government of Kano and Jigawa states should organize a comprehensive digital skills training for teachers of mechanical trades I technical schools, A standardize practical skill assessment format for each skill needs of the curriculum be developed by the experts chosen by the government of Kano and Jigawa states. These chosen experts are to develop and standardize the Assessment format and put it in book for professional references among others.
