| Abstract: The purpose of the study was to determine the suitability of National Certificate in Agriculture holders for a one year Post Agriculture Diploma in Education teacher training. Views of teacher-mentors on trainee teachers' knowledge of subject content in their area of training were solicited for. The teacher-mentors, to whom the trainee teachers were attached during teaching practice, were asked to rate their mentees' subject content efficacy and practical ingenuity. Twelve teacher-mentors were randomly selected to participate in the study. Data were collected using questionnaire and analysed using SPSS 17.0. The major findings were that trainee teachers lacked in subject content and laboratory related practical skills. The study recommended that the training duration of the PADE programme be extended by at least a year to facilitate subject content enrichment. This study benefits planners of agriculture teacher education programmes in other countries since it looks at various models of teacher education in Agriculture. |
