The purpose of this examination is to research viable methodologies for incorporating Project based Learning (PoBL) in instructing and learning Woodwork Technology Education (WTE) at tertiary foundations in Nigeria. A mixed method approach including both quantitative and subjective technique was utilized for the investigation. The example of the examination involved 50 in-administration postgraduate understudies from Nigerian tertiary foundations concentrating Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) in University Teknologi Malaysia for the quantitative perspective, and 9 inadministration post graduate understudies for the subjective part. A 16-thing organized poll was utilized for quantitative information accumulation while semi organized meeting convention was utilized for subjective information gathering.

NVIVO 12 was utilized for subjective data examination. Member check and pear questioning were utilized to build up the reliability of the interview convention. The principle discoveries of the examination uncovered that PoBL has not been embraced in WTE educating and learning at tertiary establishments of Nigeria, and the conventional instructional methodology including lecture, demonstration and task have been the instructional methodologies received. It was additionally uncovered from the discoveries that rebuilding of WTE educational plan at tertiary organizations in Nigeria to concentrate on a student focused methodology, just as sorting out courses and workshops for WTE speakers to be familiar with the utilization of PoBL in WTE instructing and learning as a component of the successful techniques for incorporating PoBL in instructing and learning WTE at tertiary establishments in Nigeria. PoBL is appropriate in the instructional procedures of courses like WTE which include intellectual and psychomotor aptitude procurement. At long last, the deficiencies of studies identifying with PobL in Nigeria illuminates the need to attempt this examination in WTE at tertiary organizations.
