This study used one shot experimental design to carry out an assessment on rice husk as a resist agent for fabric decoration in teaching and learning of textile design in Colleges of Education in Niger State, Nigeria, with the following objectives: teach respondents how to produce resist agent using rice husk, assess the suitability of rice husk as resist agent in teaching and learning of fabric decoration, examine the acceptability of fabric designs made from rice husk resist agent and compare the fabric designs produced from rice husk resist agent and cassava resist agent. The population of the study consisted of 80 students. A total sample of 35 students was drawn from the population using purposive sampling technique to respond to the instrument for data collection for the study. The instrument was a 25 item structured researcher?s designed questionnaire titled Assessment of Rice Husk as a Resist Agent for Fabric Decoration in Teaching and Learning of Textile Design (RHRAFDTLTD) consisting of Part A and B, part A consists of demographic characteristics of respondents and part B provides information on the focus of the study. Mean and standard deviation were employed to answer the research questions. The results showed that resist agent can be produced from rice husk for effective teaching and learning of fabric decoration, there is no difference in the suitability of rice husk as resist agent for effective teaching and learning of fabric decoration. The study concludes that rice husk is a sustainable resist agent for fabric decoration in the teaching and learning of textile design, also fabrics designs made from rice husk resist agent were acceptable and there was no much difference in the comparison of rice husk and cassava resist agents. It was recommended that vocational and technical education departments in Senior High Schools, Polytechnics, Colleges and Universities could use the results of the study as resource material for teaching creative skills in textile design, also practitioners in the resist dyeing business should adapt the study to educate their students on the role rice husk plays in the production of resist agent for fabric decoration so as to encourage their use in practical lessons, vocational and educational institutions and textiles industry, Non-Governmental Organizations, public and private agencies involved in skills training and youth empowerment can engage their trainees in the production of rice husk resist agent , and constant demand of this husk could serve as a waste management, which will help to clean up the heaps of rice husk piled up at various milling factories and as such promote cleanliness to our environment and generate income to the rice growers and millers, as rice husk and its ash is a great environmental threat causing damage to land and surrounding area where it is dumped.
