Abstract
This study assessed the impact of instructional resources used in skills
acquisition in millinery art in fashion design in technical universities in
Ghana. The study examined the available instructional resources used in
the skills acquisition in millinery art by higher national diploma (HND)
fashion design students in five selected technical universities in Ghana. The
study used a descriptive survey design. The study population was 249
students at HND Level 200 and 31 lecturers of millinery art in the five
selected technical universities in fashion design departments. The study
used multistage and stratified sampling techniques to collect data from the
respondents. Data was collected using an observation checklist, a closedended questionnaire and a semi-structured interview guide. Descriptive and
inferential statistics were applied to analyse data. The overall regression
was statistically significant R2 = .508, F(20, 228) = 11.794, p < 0.05, indicating
that the instructional resources used impacted millinery skills acquired. The
study found that cutting scissors, milliners’ pins and straw proofed
statistically significant as predicted in the millinery skills acquired by the
HND fashion design students, which implied that these were the
instructional resources used most often; however, the study also discovered
that the essential instructional resources were not available to be used in
skills acquisition in millinery art in the technical universities. It was
recommended that the technical universities support the fashion design
departments to acquire the needed instructional resources for skill
acquisition in milliner art.
