Enhancing Vocational Education through Experiential Learning in Colleges of Education in North Central Nigeria

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This study examines the role of experiential learning in improving vocational education and student outcomes in colleges of education across North Central Nigeria. A mixed-methods approach was adopted, integrating both qualitative and quantitative techniques. The findings indicate that experiential learning significantly enhances student engagement, motivation, and skill retention. Vocational education programs that incorporate hands-on experience better prepare students for the workforce. However, a balanced instructional approach is needed to accommodate diverse learning styles. The study recommends integrating experiential strategies with traditional methods to foster practical, career-ready competencies. These insights are valuable for educators, policymakers, and curriculum developers aiming to enhance the relevance and quality of vocational education.
