| Abstract: This paper examined the use of information technology as a tool for pedagogical innovation of vocational-technical education delivery in secondary schools in Nigeria. This approach if properly utilized can bring about effective teaching for the building up of the learners. It upholds that teacher education helps to promote teachers’ competence and skills in information technology which in turn promotes effective teaching and learning. The relevance of vocational-technical education demands this better and innovative approach for effective teaching and learning. It could be practically difficult to develop vocational technical education prgrammes without an adequate application of information technology. This efficiently helps the capacity building in education as it trains both teachers and learners who are information technologically friendly. This study identifies some challenges in the application of information technology such as power failure, high cost of equipment, inadequate space/ personnel, etc., and ways forward should include teachers/learners’ readiness, provision of equipment, funds, facilities and regular workshop and training. The paper concludes that vocational-technical education if well handled by competent and skilled teachers can result in national development and better the future of the new generation. The author has recommended that for information technology to serve as an efficient and effective pedagogical innovation for the training of vocational-technical students the challenges identified should be appropriately addressed. |
