    This Shldy attempted to investigate the training of would-be teachers in the practical application of pedagogical courses currently offered in the newly up-graded colleges of Gondar and Awassa. So, to examine this performance, the instructors of pedagogical courses of the two colleges taken as the subjects of the study, were categorized interms of their level of qualifications and work experiences. To verify the basic questions, eleven instructors of pedagogical courses of the two colleges in total, were observed in their performances of classroom instructional skills. Moreover, the principals and education department heads of the two colleges were asked about the problem of training by conducting interviews. A t-test and Variance analyses were employed in the analysis of the study. The obtained results portrayed that instructors with higher qualifications and work experiences manifested better performances in implementing planing, presenting, managing, and evaluating of classroom instmctional skills than instructors with lower qualifications and work experiences in the practical application of training activities. Besides, the two colleges are found to have inadequate library facilities, training materials equipment and other essential attributes that have a bearing on the training of prospective teachers in the teacher education program. Finally, conclusions( instructors with second degrees, and with high level of work experiences were found to show better performances of implementing classroom instructional skills than those instructors with first degrees and low level of work experiences), and recommendations ( the necessity of assigning better qualified and experienced instructors together with the essential training materials), were made.
