TEACHING PRACTICE AND ITS EFFECTIVENESS IN TEACHERS TRAINING CURICULUM

This study examined teaching practice and its effectiveness in teachers training curriculum. It was a research design of survey type. Respondents consisted of 200 Undergraduates. A self-developed questionnaire titled “Teaching Practice and Teacher’s Training (TPTT) “was used for data collection.

The findings revealed that there is a significant correlation between lecturers supervision and student performance. The findings revealed that there was no significant difference between teaching performance of male and female student-teachers. Finally, the findings revealed that there was a difference between teaching performance of 300-Level and 400-Level student-teachers.

The study concluded that teaching practice has great effect on the teacher profession output and the curriculum.

It was therefore recommended amongst others that Lecturers should be trained to be objective rather than be subjective in supervision and grading. Both male and female teachers-in-training should be encouraged to put on seriousness during teaching practice.
