The purpose of
the study was to evaluate the implementation of the In-In-Out
programme of teacher education in Ghana. A sample size of 582 was
selected using stratified sampling. Data were collected through the
use of questionnaires, interviews and observation. The study was
descriptive survey, which was targeted at finding out implementers’
perception of the success of the programme. Research questions were
formulated to guide the study. The responses to the research
questions were analysed using percentages and mean of means. The
study revealed that the reasons that respondents gave for the
introduction of the In-In-out programme were consistent with GES/TED
(1998). The general level of importance placed on the objectives and
activities was high. Further, there is no great difference amongst
the implementers’ agreement to each objective and activity. The
implementation was found to be hindered by non-availability and/or
inadequacy of instructional materials and insufficiency of time
allotted to the professional training aspect of the Programme. It
was, therefore, recommended that intensive training of all
implementers and trial testing of the materials should be done
systematically before implementation of the programme. Also, link
tutors and mentors should be given incentives to motivate them to
carry out effective supervision. |
