| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this study was two fold, in view of the central importance of the professional educa tion courses in the training and education of secondary teachers. First, to identify the attitude of the graduating student - teachers of the Addis Ababa Uni versi ty toward educa tion courses. Second, to explore the factors related to the studen t-teachers ' coursea tti tude. A fifty-four item attitude questionnaire based upon the Likert Scale was administered to 163 survey population. The data were analysed and interpreted using chi- squire and correlation statistics. The iden tified trainees ' overall course - a t t i tude was analysed in rela tion to the trai nees' characteristics and regard for the teaching profession; and in relation to the trainees' evaluations of factors related to the courses and the instructors' quality of teaching . The resul t of the study revealed a non significant favorable attitude toward education courses. However, the identified attitude was found to be irrespective of the sex, major area, region of secondary education and CGPA of the student-teachers. The graduating student-teachers indicated that the courses lack fair balance between theory and practice, duplicated interms of contents, and less stimulant toward teaching. On the other-hand, the instructors' quali t ies o f teaching were rated unfavorably, in general. Teaching profession was accorded a high regard by one half, and a l ow regard by the other half, of the sUbjects . In the present study, the trainees' characteristics were found to be of little help to explain course-attitude. But, factors related to the courses, the instructors and the trainees' regard for the teaching profession were identified to have a direct association with the student-teachers' attitude toward education courses. | en_US |
