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
