| dc.description.abstract | The main objective of this study was to assess current trends and issues related to the practices involved in the provision of in-service training programs of technical and vocational teachers in Ethiopia. II was also designed to provide a basis for making suggestions and recommendations for improving the effectiveness, efficiency, and quality of in-service training programs of TVETteachers. The study particularly focused on addressing basic issues related to the practices used in the designing and implementation aspects of the programs. A descriptive survey method was employed for the study. Two hundred and twenty-five technical and vocational teachers were randomly selected from 9 TVET-colleges found in Tigray, Amhara, Oromiya, and Addis Ababa administrative areas to be the sample of the study. Fifty incidentally available leaders in TVETs at federal, regional and college levels were also included to be the subject of the study. Questionnaire and analysis of documents were used to collect information for the study. Two hundred seventy-five questionnaires were distributed and the return rate was 76.59% and 66% for teacher and leader respondents respectively. The collected data were coded and analyzed using SPSS computer program. Both descriptive and inferential statistics, including frequencies, percentages, means, standard deviations, and One-way ANOVA and independent sample t-test were used to analyze the data. The major findings were that in-service training of TVETteachers 1) highly lacks policy requirements and 2) failed to address both the organization and individual training needs. The main recommendations were 1) TVET-colleges need to strengthen their relation with industries and service providers; 2) TVET-colleges need to take more initiatives to provide in-college trainings; and 3) Training needs should be thoroughly assessed. | en_US |
