dc.description.abstractThis study entitled “NCE Students’ Perception and Its Influence on the Choice of Business Education in the North-East Zone of Nigeria” determined the perception of students who undertake Business Education as a programme of study and the influence of the perception on their choice of the programme. Four specific objectives and four Research Questions were stated while four null hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance. Literature and empirical studies were reviewed. From all the literature reviewed, there was hardly available record on study of this nature in the North-East zone of Nigeria. This was the main gap which this study served to fill. Descriptive Research Survey design was used for the study. Population for the study was 1354 NCE II students and the sample was 271 students. A structured questionnaire was the main instrument of the study; and out of the 271 administered, 176 were retrieved and found valid. Mean scores were used to answer the four research questions. The t-test was used to test the four hypotheses. Results of the study showed among others that students perceived Business Education as a programme of study that seeks to equip recipients with skills and knowledge for office work and self reliant; Students’ perception influenced their choice of Business Education as a career to a very great extent. Results of the t-test showed that no significant difference exists between the mean scores of male and female students on their perception of Business Education programmed as a career. Results also showed that no significant difference exists between the mean scores of male and female students on the extent to which their perception influences their choice of Business Education programme as a career as well as option. However, t-test showed that significant difference exists between the mean scores of male and female students on the extent to which gender perception influences their choice of the programme as a career. It was concluded that students chose Business Education programme because they needed the skills to enable them establish their own businesses hence more students will enroll in the programme. It was recommended among others that Management of Colleges of Education in the North-East Zone that run business education programme should plan to construct lecture theatres for business education department especially where there was none in order to meet up with the enrolment challenges in future. The major limitation of the study was that it was conducted when some colleges were writing examination and it was through the assistance of staff from those colleges that students filled the questionnaire administered to them. It was also suggested that similar study should be conducted in other zones in order to establish if findings would be similar.en_US
