CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
The Introduction of the 9-3-4, the junior
secondary school, senior secondary school coupled with the ever changing
curriculum, calls for the need for professional teachers.
Teaching practice is a six credit unit
compulsory course for final year N.C.E and post graduates Diploma (TIC)
Students of the college of Education and Faculties of Education in our
Universities. Teaching practice may be described as the practical aspect of
teacher Education design to give the student teacher an opportunity relating to
the principles of Education.
Teaching Practice course takes in the first
semester of the final year.
The colleges post N.C.E Students, out of
various Secondary schools and the TTC Student to other college of Education.
The Student are given a one day orientation course in the college as soon as
they are about to proceed on teaching practice. The orientation program is
geared toward briefing Student on what to expect and do while on teaching
practice.
For anybody who attempted education course(s)
either in a university or college of education must undergo "Teaching
Practice". This is because it is an integral part of the major course
towards certification. The aim of teaching Practice is to
expose the students to practical
teaching experience for “experience is said to be the best teacher".
The theoretical knowledge acquired by the
students is to be demonstrated practically during teaching practice exercise
given advice about what to look for, what to do and how to behave generally.
Hooper and Johnson (1973) argued that a major
function of such experience is implementation of social control that by means of teaching practices, students are
brought face to face with the realities of schooling and the conservation
nature of the school system. However, before students go on teaching practice
it is observed that most of them will be exercising one fear or another due to
various reasons.
Student teachers normally think of how to
teach for effective understanding by the pupil. Student teacher will think of
how to cope with different behaviors of the students in the schools they are
posted to.
Teaching Practice supervision is done by all
qualified academic staff of the college, the qualified is based on having a
maximum of post graduate diploma in education.
1.2 STATEMENT
OF PROBLEM
The problem facing teaching student after
graduating and bound with some effect and felling. It is common to see that
student teachers face many challenges and obstacle during their teaching
practice.
Also during the teaching practice, there
should be through and sound orientation for the student before the teaching
practice that will enhance the smooth running of their training exercise.
It is important to note that graduate
teachers without teaching practice orientation and lecture are going to face
many challenges and problem during their work experience.
In other words the study will focus on the
likely logistic problems involving and seek for useful suggestion on how to
overcome the problems that will be faced by the student after graduating
1.3
PURPOSE OF THE STUDY
It is hope that this study will have impact
on teaching practice exercise on the productivity of qualified secondary school
teachers. One of the factors which influence the choice of topic from this
project is to look at the important and the benefit derived from teaching
practice the study will influence student's performance in their academics when
they get back to their colleges and it will affect their performance when they get
out into full teaching.
Another factor is also the conviction that
student teachers have useful knowledge to offer pupils and the schools where they are attached to some are very
skeptical about the performance of student teachers because they are still
under training.
Lastly to suggest some possible ways of
solving the problems that face teaching practice.
