Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the extent to which TTl instructors
in the Amhara region effectively employ the didactic elements of a lesson.
Accordingly, attempts were made to identify the techniques of each didactic
element instructors often employ. An attempt was also made to see whether
or not instructors' employment of the didactic elements were related to their
teachig experience and qualification.
Data regarding instructors' employment of the didactic elements were obtained
from all instructors of Dessie TIT The data gathering instrument ued was
systematic observation. The data secured through consecutive observations
were analysed using percentage, spearman's rank difference and point bi-serial
correlation coefficients.
The findings of the study showed that instructional sets, i.e. set induction and
closure were least used by instructors. The findings also indicated that
instructors were poor in their indirect influences and that their classrooms were
instructor dominated. It was thus concluded that instrutors under study were
not giving due emphasis to the importance of including all of the didactic
elements in their lessons. Further more, it was found out that teaching
experience had significant direct relationsllip with instructors' teaching
behaviors under treatment.
