Development of a new curriculum of ergonomics-based technology education for Nigerian universities
description The purpose of this study was to develop a new curriculum of ergonomics-basedtechnology education for Nigerian universities. This study consisted of two phases: needs analysisand modified Delphi technique. The purpose of the needs analysis was to explore the levels ofergonomics awareness and the needs of ergonomics curriculum as well as to determine the lecturersperception toward the incorporation of ergonomics curriculum. Also, modified Delphi techniquewas implemented to determine the relevant domains needed for the new ergonomics curriculumusing experts consensus. A sample of 132 lecturers was selected based on the Krejcie andMorgans sample size table from the population (N=200) for the needs analysis phase from fourselected universities in Nigeria. Participants were selected using stratified random sampling. Thesecond phase involved a Delphi panel which consisted of 11 experts that was selected using snowballtechnique based on the specific criteria. Instruments used in this study to collectempirical data included questionnaire and an interview protocol. Quantitative data were analyzedusing descriptive statistics such as mean, standard deviation, and interquartile range (IQR). Thequalitative data were categorized using thematic analysis. The key finding revealed that theoverall mean illustrates lecturers strongly agreed (M=4.24, SD=0.45) on the needs toincorporate ergonomics and supported (M=4.19, SD=0.47) the introduction of ergonomics- basedtechnology education in Nigerian universities. At the final round of Delphi analysis, 18 topics and42 sub-topics gained more than the cut-off point of 70% hence they were accepted. The highest meanscores was 4.82 and lowest score 4.45 which was above the cut-off point of 4.21 therefore strongagreement among the experts was achieved. Also, standard deviations were below one (SD <1) whichshowed that a strong consensus has been attained. IQR was one or less than one (IQR 1) thatindicated a higher level of agreement and thus the experts have reached a consensus. Inconclusion, a new ergonomics-based curriculum in technology education was constructed based onthe needs analysis and verified by experts agreement. A main implication of this research is thata new curriculum of ergonomics-based technology education program can be offered toNigerian universities.
