This research focuses on development of machinery shed as a teaching resource and its implication on students' performance and practice of concept. The population for the study consisted of all students of agricultural education both in degree and NCE during first semester of 2021/2022 academic session. 36 samples were drawn from each arm and from the samples drawn, 18 students were randomly selected for learning at the machinery centre whereas another 18 students randomly drawn were taught in the traditional classroom environment. Both groups were taught the same topics. The result shows mean scores of 18.31 and 12.56 for those at machinery centre and those at traditional classroom respectively. In both cases, the result compared using t-test yielded a positive result for students taught at the machinery shed irrespective of levels of classes.
