    A Study on the Extent to Which Teacher Training Institute Instructors in the Amhara Region Effectively Employ the Didactic Elements of a Lesson
    (Addis Ababa University, 1998-06) Eshetu, Hussen; Desta, Azeb (PhD)
    The purpose of this study was to investigate the extent to which TTl instructors in the Amhara region effectively employ the didactic elements of a lesson. Accordingly, attempts were made to identify the techniques of each didactic element instructors often employ. An attempt was also made to see whether or not instructors' employment of the didactic elements were related to their teachig experience and qualification. Data regarding instructors' employment of the didactic elements were obtained from all instructors of Dessie TIT The data gathering instrument ued was systematic observation. The data secured through consecutive observations were analysed using percentage, spearman's rank difference and point bi-serial correlation coefficients. The findings of the study showed that instructional sets, i.e. set induction and closure were least used by instructors. The findings also indicated that instructors were poor in their indirect influences and that their classrooms were instructor dominated. It was thus concluded that instrutors under study were not giving due emphasis to the importance of including all of the didactic elements in their lessons. Further more, it was found out that teaching experience had significant direct relationsllip with instructors' teaching behaviors under treatment.
