Abstract


The study identified the barriers and measures for enhancing the conduct of transformative research among Industrial and Technology Education lecturers and postgraduate students in Universities in North-Central, Nigeria. The population for the study was 228 respondents. Findings from the study revealed among others that lack of motivation, research networking, peer mentoring, research related performance evaluation in Universities was found to be a barrier to the conduct of transformative research. Findings from the study also revealed among others that seeking an appropriate mentorship, making full use of the capacity-building workshop, and taking formal training were found to be measured for enhancing the conduct of transformative research among Industrial and Technology Education lecturers and postgraduate students in Universities in North-Central, Nigeria. The study recommended among others that the administrators of Universities in North-Central, Nigeria should set up the conduct of transformative research as a goal and organize capacity-building workshops for Industrial and Technology Education lecturers and postgraduate students to achieve the stated goal.
