PERCEPTION OF TEACHERS ABOUT TRAINING IN BASIC SCHOOLS; A CASE STUDY OF OFFINSO NORTH DISTRICT

ABSTRACT The study sought to find out the perception of teachers about training in public basic schools .The research was conducted using self administered questionnaire and an interview guide. Three objectives were formulated to guide the study. The study was based on the systematic training theory. A sample size of 51 consisting of 40 teachers, 10 head teachers and the District Training Officer was used for the study. Descriptive analysis was employed in the discussion of employment characteristics. The results showed that teachers had a positive perception about training and also perceived that training impacted positively on their professional development. The teachers further perceived that they were able to transfer or apply knowledge gained through training in their work. The study further revealed that evaluation was not conducted during and after training sessions. The results identified lack of funds as an issue that inhibited the organization of training programmes at the District level and the implementation of training policies in schools. In addition, inadequate teaching and learning materials was also identified as a challenge that inhibited the implementation of training policies in schools. Based on the study findings, it is recommended among other things, that training for teachers should be regular and also be done in batches. Adequate funds should be allocated for training for smooth organization and implementation of training programmes at the District and school levels respectively
