Abstract
The study assessed some of the main factors that affect the training of
Special One -Year Diploma in-service teachers education Programme
offered by ACTE in Tigray Regional State. The sample consisted 142
teachers who were graduates of this special programme and 16
instructors who participated in training the teachers. Simple random
sampling method was employed to select the respondents. In order to
address the studies objectives, a descriptive survey method was also
used.
To gather the necessary data, a questionnaire and documents analysis
was used. The data collected by the above mentioned instruments were
analyzed using percentage and mean.
The results obtained from the study suggests that the selection criteria in
to this programme were fair even though they suggest that still the
entrance exam should carry more credit and also the responsibility of
setting the criteria should be given to the teachers education college
rather than being initiated by TREB. Majority of the respondents opined
that the facilities such as health center, supply of potable water,
electricity, resource materials, laboratories etc are not full filled up to the
required standard.
The study also suggested that the then management of the college as well
as the instructors were un democratic, they never make them participate
in decision making.
The innovation of the programme was implemented by the imposition of
higher officials while there was a strong resistance from the teaching
staff. The introduction of the programme was not based on assessment
findings like its cost effectiveness, quality and duration of the
programme. Rather as most of the instructors opined, the programme
was initiated from the ambition of higher officials to have more diploma
teachers in a short time with no attention to the quality of the teachers to
be produced by the programme.
Based on the findings and conclusions, recommendations are made to
address the existing problems in the college of the regional state under
study
