Abstract
The study was designed to examine the extent to which media utilizationtraining
component is incorporated in Teacher Training Institutes syllabi.
The method employed was content analysis. All syllabi were used.
Consequently, nine syllabi with a total number of 272 pages were used
for analysis. Additional information were gathered through unstructured
interview. Based on the main categories, frequencies were counted and
converted into percentages. The data gathered were analyzed
qualitatively. The study revealed that instructional media is not given as a
course in TTIs. It is treated as a separate unit only in three courses: in
English Language, Pedagogics and Aesthetics and Physical Education
syllabi. In all courses but two (Psychology and Special Needs Education)
this component is treated as a sub unit-though the expressions used are
vague. Generally, the study result shows that instructional media
utilization component is incorporated in the training syllabi with low
coverage and as a result, the training is not sufficient
