Three research questions guided the study and one hypothesis formulated. An ex-post facto research design was adopted in this study. A 26 ¬item questionnaire was developed and used in collecting relevant data for the study. Mean and standard deviation were used to analyze the research questions while the z-test was used to test the null hypothesis. The findings revealed that there are appropriate teachers strategies but 'the adopted strategies were wrongly implemented by the teacher. There is a significant difference between the mean responses of technical and computer science education students' perception on strategies of teacher and the adopted strategies used during implementation. Based on the findings of the study, it was recommended that government and school management should provide in-service training on strategies expected of the teachers and to make them adopt the necessary strategies to achieve the National Policy on Education objectives.
