Abstract
The main purpose of this study was to explore OBTVET implementation
status in MGMBTC and suggest the necessary recommendations. To this end,
36 teaching staff and 92 final year students of the college were filled out the
questionnaires. In addition to the questionnaires, interviews, FGD, document
review and observation had been used. Accordingly, the data obtained from
different sources were analyzed using both quantitative and qualitative
methods. The result obtained revealed that available teaching staffs in terms
of service years and educational qualification were seen sufficient. Except in
some competence areas of electrical department and armament technology,
employed teaching staffs were seen sufficient. However, there was no an
officer to facilitate guidance and counseling service in the college. Employed
financial and physical resources were insufficient. Besides these constraints,
OBTVET implementation had been affected by mismatch of teaching‐learning
process with OBTVET requirement. This had been the result of limited
awareness of the teaching staff. Lack of DOS in most competence areas had
been another limitation of the college to implement OBTVET. However, in
solving forgone problems existing teaching staff commitment in combination
with their educational achievement and circumstances of the management in
the college observed as a good opportunity to enhance OBTVET
implementation. Therefore, MoND should give due attention on supplying
and facilitating of teaching‐learning resources as well as provision of short
term training to support OBTVET practices. Moreover, the college needs to
do in collaboration with defense units to alleviate shortage of demonstration
equipments and to enhance cooperative training
