Journal of Emerging Trends in Educational Research and Policy Studies (JETERAPS) (Vol 1 No 1)
| Abstract: The study was carried out to find out the competencies of graduate teachers who graduated from teacher education programmes between the year 2005 and 2010. Multi-stage sampling was used in selecting 432 respondents made up of educational administrators and graduate teachers working in the three levels of education across two states of Southern Nigeria. Questionnaire was used for collecting data from the respondents. The data collected were analysed using mean and the hypothesis was tested with t-test at 0.05 level of significance using t-test. The result shows that the teachers possess low competence in ICT skills. The results also indicated that there is no significant difference in the perceptions of graduate teachers and educational administrators on the competences of graduate teachers in areas of pedagogical, communicative, and ICT skills. This study is of great importance to the stakeholders in education especially the teacher education curriculum developers as it revealed the areas where teachers have low and high competencies. This study also answers the question of whether professionally trained teachers are competent or not. |
