This study identifies the technical lecturers’ perception of students’ engagement in application of interactive instructional strategies using survey method. The study aimed to determine student in technical institutions level of the: meaning of students’ engagement in instruction; indicators of students’ engagement in instruction and factors that influence students’ engagement in application of interactive instructional strategies. The population for the study consisted of all ninety two technical education lecturers in technical universities and colleges of education in South Nigeria. The instrument used for data collection was a twenty item questionnaire derived from past literature reviewed. Five experts were validated that instrument. Cronbach Alpha analysis was used to determine the reliability of the instrument and the researcher was found that the reliability coefficient was 0.83. The research questions were achieved going through the Mean and Standard Deviation analysis. The findings revealed that the technical students were not adequately knowledgeable of the interactive instructional strategies. Based on the findings of this study, it was recommended among others that students’ engagement in instruction should be emphasized in capacity building through mentoring and peer collaboration that offer technical teacher education programmed organized within tertiary institutions, by government and other stakeholders.
