Nigerian and Canadian Student Perception of Technical Teacher Training Problems. Report I.
LeBlanc, Darrell; Cap, Orest
The purpose or immediate goal of the Nigerian Technical Teacher Training Project was to provide for a Bachelor of Education degree program, but the long-range goal was to develop and to provide Nigeria with a pool of trained technical instructors. Perceptions of the program were gathered from a sample of 34 Nigerian students who had participated in the program and from a group of 60 Canadian students who had taken classes with the Nigerian students. Questionnaires with a Likert-type scale were used to gather data. Data analysis yielded an overall positive perception of the teacher training project. The Nigerian students indicated satisfaction with most aspects of the program, such as teaching ability of the staff, teacher interest, program responsiveness to their needs, and living experience in Canada. Some weaknesses were identified such as intensity (time) of the program. The Canadian students also reported positive perceptions of the program, stating that they found the Nigerian students did at least their fair share of group work, that they were friendly, and that they provided an opportunity to learn about life in other countries.
