Abstract
The study
was carried out to develop and validate psychomotor skills test for assessing
students during students industrial work experience scheme in Micheal Okpar
University of Agriculture, Umudike.. Two research questions were posed for the
study. The study adopted the research and development design. The population of
the study was all Bachelor of Agriculture ( B.Agric) programme students
involved in students industrial work experience scheme in the 2016/2017
academic session in Micheal Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike. The
sample of the study was 400 Students which were selected from the three college
offering Bachelor of Agriculture (B.Agric) programme, as the sample size was
selected using the proportionate stratified ramdom sampling technique
purposively selected. The instrument for data collection was the Psychomotor
Skills Test For Students Industrial Work Experience Scheme(PSTFSIWES), The
instrument was face and validated using the rotated component matrix to
establish the construct validity. Internal consistency was established the
using the cronbach alpha. The result of the analysis shows that the psychomotor
skills test for assessment students during students industrial work experience
scheme in universities of agriculture was valid since the factor loading on the
instrument from 0.35-0.70 and the reliability of the instrument which was
determined by cronbach alpha was found to range from 0.71-0.86. Based Oil the
findings of the study, it was recommended that the universities should
integrate the use of the instrument for students in Agricultural programme and
the instrument should be adopted and adapted for use ill other
practical-oriented courses for process assessment of students in psychomotor
skills.
