INTRODUCTION
1. BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
As a result of growing
school leaver unemployment, the Nigeria Government introduced the National
Policy on Education revised 1980. A major provision of the policy was the
introduction of the teaching practice programmes at the College of Education,
Ekiadolor, with emphasis on the acquisition of practical teaching skills,
valves and knowledge that would enable individuals to impact knowledge. One of
the rationales for the emphasis on teaching programmes is that fact that is a
skill practices which would equip its gainful employment. Even if they end
their programmes at the Nigeria Certificate in education level. One basic
necessity for the achievement of this objective is the availability of relevant
teaching aids such as chart, chalk board, text books e.t.c. this would ensure
that courses are taught according to the curriculum and the programmes in this
regard the use of audio- unseals and related teaching facilities as
suggested by most authors would be relevant.
Teaching practice is a
very important and compulsory component of the preparation of teachers for it
represent the final steps in t5hde exercise it is a period in the
education of the teacher aspirant when he is allowed, under expert
supervision to experiment, in a real school environment with the things
he has learnt in theory about teaching
According to grim and
Micheals (2006) teaching practice is an opportunity for teacher aspirant to9
gain practical classroom experiences under expert supervision Okorie (2005)
emphasis that student teaching is not a trial period but a preparatory period
and an opportunity for the student teacher to learn about the actual work of
the teacher is the classroom as well as out of classroom experiences and good
human relations”
In a recent study
Onwikwe (2008) found out that ideally student teachers should have the
following characteristics to be effective.
1. The student teacher is given thorough
preparation in the subject he has to teach as well as in educational technology
and special methodology of the subject matter. Exposure to micro- teaching
experience is essential
2. The student teacher works under the guidance of
a co operating teacher throughout the period of the exercise.
3. The student teacher dose not combines practice,
teaching with other university/ college courses.
4. The student teacher forms part the co- operating
force and is expected to adjust to the conditions in the school.
5. The student teacher participants in all the
extra- curricular activities of the school throughout the period of the
experience.
6. The student teacher has opportunity to spend
some time watching and observing the professional teacher at work before
embarking on teaching himself.
1. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM:
This research work is to
find out the problems and prospects of the teaching practice programme in
college of education with special emphasis on college of education Ekiadolor
Benin
The ideal is that
student teaching should not be done concurrently with other course at the
university or college. The fact that student teachers are placed in school away
from campus may suggest that they do not have to do other courses during the
practice teaching period.
A closer look at the
secondary school year vis- a- viz the university I college year point to the
contrary. In most cases observed teaching practice periods interlope with
university/college semester. As a result student returning from teaching
practice some time loose as many as four weeks in and even some miss their
carry over examinations. It is as a result of all these, that the researcher
intends to examine the problems as prospects of the teaching practice
programmes in college of education Ekiadolor-Benin

which the study attempt to verify are as follow;

pupil or student progress in the learning process

profession after graduation?
