Abstract
The basic aim of this study was to identifY the problems faced by TTIs of SNNPR
in recruiting trainees, and trainers' quality and implementing practice teaching.
Data on these variables were collected from 220 trainees and 60 trainers of
Arbaminch and Bong teacher training institutes. The study employed descriptive
analysis including t-test, comparing the means of responses and frequency
analysis.
The study results indicated that the recruitment procedure applied in the region
doesn't focus on selecting applicants with good academic background and positive
attitude towards the profession. It also indicated that most trainers are below the
required standard to train in teacher training institutes. The experience and
professional knowledge they have is not sufficient to work as trainer in teacher
training institutes. The application of practice teaching also faced various
problems and it doesn't provide adequate support to trainees. The trainers and
teachers of primary school do not provide adequate supervision.
The results also suggested that trainees and trainers recruitment be left to training
institutes, the standard set regarding trainers be implemented and practice
teaching be reorganized to make teacher education more effective.
