This quasi-experimental study focused on the use of models and students’ interest in auto mechanics. Two research questions and two null hypotheses guided the study. The population of the study was 203 Year I auto mechanics students of Technical Colleges in Lagos State, Nigeria. Auto-Mechanics Interest Inventory (AMII) was the instrument used for the study. The reliability coefficient of the AMII was found to be 0.81 using test re-test and Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficients. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used for data analysis. The result of this study indicated a significant difference between the mean interest scores of male and female auto mechanics students when taught with models for hypothesis 1, and a significant difference between the mean interest scores of male and female auto mechanics students when taught with models for hypothesis 2. Based on these findings, the study recommended among others that the adoption of the use of models in teaching different aspects of auto mechanics by Technical College auto mechanic teachers would help in arousing students’ interest and thus improve their academic performance and acquisition of skills.
