The aim of the study was to examine the Effect of Teaching reaming operation with Fabricated Woodwork Mini-Lathe on Students’ Achievement in Carpentry and Joinery in Technical Colleges in Rivers State. One research question and one hypothesis guided the research. The hypothesis was tested at 0.05 level of significance. The study adopted quasi-experimental research design and was carried out in Rivers State of Nigeria. The population of the study was all the 50 National Technical Certificate 1 students of Technical Colleges offering carpentry and joinery craft in Rivers State (Government Technical College Port Harcourt and Ahoada), all the 50 National Technical Certificate 1 students of carpentry and joinery craft were sampled through census sampling technique, this is because the population was small and manageable. The instrument for data collection was Reaming Operations with Fabricated Woodwork Mini-Lathe Achievement Test developed by the researcher. The Reaming Operations with Fabricated Woodwork Mini-Lathe Achievement Test was used to test the students’ achievement in reaming operations when carried out with a fabricated mini-lathe in carpentry and joinery. It contained 21 multiple choice items to choose from either of options A, B, C or D, to accept the highest mean gain. The null hypotheses were rejected when the calculated value, (F- cal) exceeded the critical value (F-crit), otherwise the null hypothesis was accepted.
